Vivo T2's launch in China delayed; reason not disclosed
What's the story
Vivo has postponed the launch of its T2 smartphone in China once again. The event for the device's debut was set for May 23, which was then pushed forward to Monday (June 6). Now, the brand has postponed the handset's launch once again, and this time without revealing the new date and time. Vivo announced this delay via its official post on Weibo.
Context
Why does this story matter?
Vivo T2 is simply a rebranded iQOO Neo 6 SE. It was supposed to debut on June 6 with T2x, but the latter was silently introduced a week ago, which hints that the brand must have anticipated yet another delay in the former's launch. We can't think of a good reason for the rescheduling. However, there may be some logistic factors at play.
Design and display
The handset will flaunt 120Hz AMOLED screen
Vivo T2 will have a punch-hole cut-out on the top center, slim bezels, and an in-display fingerprint scanner. On the rear, it will house a triple camera unit with an LED flash placed on a rectangular island. The smartphone will sport a 6.62-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2400 pixels) AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, a 20:9 aspect ratio, HDR10+ support, and 1,300-nits of peak brightness.
