A couple of days back, Vivo released its new gaming flagship, the Vivo IQOO. However, the company seems to be busy preparing another smartphone for launch this month, the Vivo X27. The phone, expected to be the successor of the Vivo X23 model that was launched last year, hasn’t been in many leaks. However, Vivo had a sure way of getting our attention by showcasing the phone at a popular TV Game show in China.

The Vivo X27 was spotted in the TV show called Happy Camp in China yesterday. The show is extremely popular in China and has been airing since 1997. So seeing the phone in the hands of the show’s host was a definite way of teasing it before launch.

One of the highlights of the Vivo X27 is its pop up camera. The camera housing at the back is the same as the Vivo 15 Pro that was launched a few days ago in India. The tease also confirms Topaz Blue gradient color option in China.
