The Vivo S1 Pro is here, the Chinese smartphone maker's first device for 2020. Here's our unboxing and first impressions of the device.
Open up the box and you'll find the device itself, some regulatory stickers, the 18W fast charging adapter, a pair of 3.5mm wired earphones, the Type-C charging cable, some literature along with the SIM-ejector tool and finally, the transparent silicone case.
The S1 Pro at first glance looks extremely stylish, with its 48MP quad camera system in a diamond-shaped array. The back of the phone is in signature Vivo fashion, made out of plastic, but finished in a manner that makes it look like glass. This Dreamy White colour we've got throws up some really nice patterns when reflecting light, and since it's a light shade, fingerprints aren't all that visible on the glossy surface.
The metallic sides of the device are in this rose-gold colour, with the 3.5mm headphone jack on top, the Type-C port with microphone and single-firing speaker on the bottom, SIM tray on the left and the volume buttons with the red colour power button on the right. The different coloured power button is a nice touch, and really puts the S1 Pro's design a notch above the competition.
Speaking of notches, there's one on the top of the 6.38-inch full-HD+ AMOLED display, and it houses a 32MP selfie camera. There's an in-display fingerprint scanner as well, and it's shaped like a diamond to match the camera array on the back of the phone.
The S1 Pro runs on the Snapdragon 665 processor, 8GB of RAM, Android 9 Pie and comes with 128GB of internal storage. The hybrid dual SIM slot also houses space for a microSD card, and there's quite a few apps that are pre-installed on the device.

Researchers from the&nbsp;&nbsp;University of Washington have found that a giant &ldquo;blob&rdquo; of hot ocean in the Pacific killed almost one million seabirds between 2015 and 2016.
