After releasing a bunch of smartphones under the Y series this year, both in China and internationally, Vivo could be adding yet another member to the lineup in the form of the Y600s Pro AI Edition. The smartphone has been spotted on the Google Play supported devices list page, indicating the phone has received the clearance to run Google Play services. Currently, the Y600 lineup includes the standard Y600, Y600i, Y600 Turbo, and Y600 Pro, all launched exclusively in China for now.

Vivo Y600s Pro AI Edition appears in Google Play devices list
For the uninitiated, the Google Play supported devices list is an official catalogue of Android devices that have passed Google’s compatibility requirements and are certified to run the Google Play Store and Google Play Services. Since the Vivo Y600s Pro AI Edition is part of the China-exclusive Y600 series, it’s likely the smartphone will launch initially in China. Per the listing, it will carry the model number V2561A.
Since the listing doesn’t reveal any concrete details or specifications of the smartphone, it’s safe to assume the Y600s Pro AI Edition will share similar specifications with other phones in the lineup. This may include a large battery, such as 10,000mAh or so, since the Y600 and Y600 Pro carry a similar-capacity battery, a budget-to-midrange-oriented chipset, such as from the MediaTek Dimensity 7000 series, and a strong emphasis on durability with the addition of military-grade certification and high IP ratings.
With such a combination, the device will be well suited for buyers seeking a smartphone for everyday use that just works, be it for scrolling social media, chatting, watching videos or movies, or playing light games without needing extreme performance.
What we know about the Vivo Y600s Pro AI Edition so far
Diving deep into the naming nomenclature, the “s” in the Y600s Pro AI Edition could either indicate a cut-down or advanced version of the Y600 Pro, while the “AI Edition” moniker could mean the presence of several AI-oriented features at an affordable price point. If the smartphone happens to launch with Android 17-based OriginOS 7 skin, the Y600s Pro may come with features like an enhanced voice recorder that automatically identifies the speaker, neatly organises the transcript, and generates summaries with the help of AI.
Jovi AI on OriginOS 7 has been upgraded to find information, read and organise files, and help with deep queries using simple prompts, while the Snap Note feature turns images of written text into editable notes for easy management and organisation of crucial information. We’ve covered all of these and more AI features in our dedicated OriginOS 7 roundup story.
