The vivo S30 series has undergone some major changes. There is no Pro version, and it is replaced by the S30 Pro mini. Although it has a smaller body, it brings stronger performance and portrait performance. This article will take you to understand it one by one.
The contrasting color design is more distinctive
The vivo S30 Pro mini brings the same small-sized body as the X200 Pro mini, and returns to the right-angle frame + straight screen design. To put it simply, it can be attached with a tempered film, and to put it more broadly, it feels better to hold. The body weight is only 186g, and the thickness is also controlled at 7.99mm. It feels very good to hold it in one hand.

The lens module also adopts a more refined and simple design, and there is a lens and a circular flash next to the DECO. In terms of details, this lens module adopts an aviation-grade aluminum metal lens ring design, which wraps the upper glass lens, visually reducing the height of the module. When placed on the table, there is no need to worry about scratching the glass lens, killing two birds with one stone.
In terms of color matching, the vivo S30 Pro mini has four colors: "Cool Berry Pink", "Lemon Yellow", "Mint Green" and "Cocoa Black". The "Lemon Yellow" color matching we have is more distinctive. The back cover of the body is yellow, but the frame is made of cool black. This black and yellow contrasting design can not only show the "sweet and cool" personality, but also has a fashion attitude that dares to express.
Not only the "Lemon Yellow" color matching, the "Cool Berry Pink" color matching of the vivo S30 Pro mini also uses a sweet and cool contrasting design. The back cover of the body adopts a new metal sand AG process, which is visually very refreshing and clean, and it feels cool to the touch. If you have the opportunity, you can go to the offline store to experience it. I believe you will love it.
On the front of the body, the vivo S30 Pro mini has a 6.31-inch 1.5K screen, with the left and right borders narrowed to 1.32mm and the top border narrowed to 1.33mm. To be honest, it is difficult to see the difference with a tiny difference of 0.01mm, and with this rounded R corner design, the look and feel is still very good.
This screen uses 8T LTPO technology, supports 1-120Hz adaptive dynamic refresh rate, 4320Hz ultra-high frequency PWM dimming for eye protection, and 2160Hz high-frequency PWM dimming at full brightness. It can be said that no matter what environment you are in, the vivo S30 Pro mini can give you a comfortable eye-protection experience.
Atmospheric portraits, starting from live pictures
The image performance of vivo S30 Pro mini is still very outstanding. The main camera is equipped with an exclusive customized IMX921 sensor, which has VCS human eye bionic technology. Combined with this ultra-wide-angle lens, it brings better background blur capabilities. There is also a 50-megapixel IMX882 large-bottom periscope lens with a large aperture of f/2.65, supporting full-pixel dual-core focus, and taking more atmospheric portrait photos.
With the support of the flagship imaging configuration, vivo S30 Pro mini supports 23mm, 35mm, 50mm, 85mm and 100mm five golden focal lengths for portrait shooting. Whether it is a full-body photo or a close-up of the face, it can be steadily produced, and the picture effect can also surprise you.
The classic flash of the S series has also been upgraded on the S30 Pro mini. The "Soft Light Studio" function can be turned on for the full-focus portrait focal length mentioned above. Not only can the color temperature be adjusted freely, but there are also 5 levels of brightness adjustment to meet different shooting scenes and film styles.

How to highlight the "atmosphere" when the imaging hardware is equipped? The answer is filters and live mode. Let's talk about filters first. The vivo S30 Pro mini has added three new atmosphere film colors, namely CC film "Classic Positive", NC film "Classic Negative" and "Clear Blues" full of summer feeling. Different film styles can be selected in different scenes to make every memorable moment more atmospheric.

In terms of Live images, vivo S30 Pro mini directly separated the live mode. In this mode, there are six personalized styles to choose from. After shooting, you can re-select the cover frame in the dynamic photo. This "live mode" even has five movie atmosphere effects. Various creative and funny special effects bring more new ways to play with portraits.

There is also the classic "one-shot camera", which needs to be swiped up in the normal photo mode to enter. This interface is like a polaroid camera. After shooting, there is a preview of the finished film below. Of course, this mode can also customize the photo frame and atmosphere effects to record more memorable moments.
To briefly summarize the image of vivo S30 Pro mini, the flagship configuration and the addition of various atmosphere styles can indeed bring a variety of styles of portraits, and the atmosphere is also directly maximized. But also because there are too many functions, sometimes I don’t know which filter to choose or which mode to use for a while. Most of the time, in order to avoid trouble, I directly choose the most classic portrait mode to shoot. I hope vivo can simplify these functions in the future.
Other experiences are also excellent
Long-term shooting requires excellent battery life. The vivo S30 Pro mini directly brings a 6500mAh blue ocean battery and 90W wired flash charging. It is measured that one hour of Weibo browsing consumes 4% of power, one hour of 1080P video playback consumes 6% of power, one hour of Douyin browsing consumes 6% of power, and one hour of "King of Glory" ranking consumes 14% of power. Note that these actual measurements are all one hour, which shows that the battery life performance of vivo S30 Pro mini is still very good.
In terms of performance, the vivo S30 Pro mini is equipped with Dimensity 9300+. Although it is the flagship chip of the previous generation, this performance is still very good now. The actual test shows that the "King of Glory" ranking match can be easily controlled, and it is completely no problem to play with friends when you have nothing to do.
The OriginOS 5 system has also ushered in a comprehensive upgrade, but more of it is "linked" with Apple. The first is one-touch transfer. Through vivo mutual transfer, files, pictures and other content can be sent from iPhone to iPhone. Even Live pictures taken on S30 Pro mini can be easily transferred to iPhone, and vice versa. For users who switch from Apple to vivo, vivo S30 Pro mini is also considerately compatible with AirPods headphones, supports atomic island pop-up windows, and the status of the headphones can be seen at a glance.
Summary
The color matching of vivo S30 Pro mini is very fresh and colorful. The contrasting color design can make this model more distinctive and show a "sweet and cool" personalized style. In terms of imaging, vivo S30 Pro mini has added various shooting modes and atmosphere filters, and a lot of gameplay can make you fall in love with it at first sight.
Of course, the highlights are not only the appearance and portrait shooting, but also the battery life, performance and system of vivo S30 Pro mini. If you also like to take portraits and want to show your unique side in appearance design, vivo S30 Pro mini is believed to provide you with full emotional value.
