The Vivo S50 Pro Mini is expected to get a triple camera with a periscopic module and an ultrasonic under-screen fingerprint scanner. The S50 series will be released in November and will be a competitor to the Oppo Reno 15 and Honor 500, which are also gearing up for release in the Chinese market.

Possible rebranding and reasons for skipping the S40
