Vivo has been steadily increasing its market share in India. As of Q3 2019, its market share in the country is 17 percent. The company seems to be working on a strategy to take over the second spot from Samsung that now holds a market share of 20 percent in India. The Vivo V17 Pro that was introduced in September has reportedly encountered lackluster sales. Fresh information shared by 91mobiles reveals that the company may discontinue the V17 Pro. The publication has also claimed that the Chinese firm will be introducing a cheaper Vivo V17 handset by the end of this month.
The publication has learnt from a company executive whose named has not been disclosed that the Vivo V17 will be debuting in India by the last week of November. The Vivo V17 will be up for purchase in India by the first week of December.
The device is expected to cost around Rs. 25,000 (~$353). However, there are no details on the specs of the phone. It could be featuring a dual selfie camera system and quad rear cameras. As far as V17 Pro is concerned, it will be gradually phased out after the release of Vivo V17.
