The Vivo V17 Pro is available at offline retailers across India starting from today. According to the official announcement by Vivo at the time of launch last week, the V17 Pro was scheduled to be sold offline starting Sept. 27. However, 91mobiles has just posted that the smartphone is now available at offline vendors, a day ahead of launch. .
According to the publication, retailers from Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi and Rajasthan have confirmed that Vivo has reduced the sales target of offline vendors by 15 percent. The reason behind this move could be because of the processor powering the V17 Pro. Under the hood of the Vivo V17 Pro is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 SoC that also fueled the Vivo V15 Pro smartphone that had gone official earlier this year. The base prices of Rs. 29,990 (~$423) does not help its cause. Xiaomi is offering the Snapdragon 855 mobile platform powered Redmi K20 Pro flagship phone for Rs. 27,999 (~$395).
