Vivo is reportedly working on the launch of Vivo V17 smartphone. India and Russia are some of the markets that are expected to receive the smartphone. The Vivo V17 has also bagged approval from the NBTC certification body of Thailand. These certifications suggest that the smartphone may go official as early as this month.
The Vivo V17 NBTC certification has not revealed any information on its specifications. However, it has confirmed that the Thailand variant of the smartphone has Vivo 1919 model number.
Recently, a Russian tech blog had shared the live shots of the Vivo V17 smartphone. The images had revealed that the phone is equipped with a diamond-shaped camera module on its rear. However, the arrangement of the quad rear cameras is different from the Vivo S5 phone that is debuting tomorrow. In fact, the rear design of the Vivo V17 matches with the Vivo V1945A/T phone that was recently certified by China’s TENAA telecom authority. The exact identity of the Vivo V1945A/T is currently under the wraps.
The live shots of the Vivo V17 also revealed that its frontside is flanked with a waterdrop-style notch display. Probably, it carries support for full HD+ resolution and is equipped with an in-screen fingerpint reader. The right spine of the phone features a volume rocker and a power key. The bottom edge of the Vivo V17 has a microphone, a USB-C port and an external speaker. The Russian tech blog had claimed that the phone could be packed with specs like 48-megapixel quad rear cameras, 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of internal storage and a 4,500mAh battery. The publication had also claimed that the phone could be made official in Russian markets by late November.
Another report had revealed that Vivo India is gearing up to launch the Vivo V17 by the end of this month and gradually phase out the Vivo V17 Pro phone that was made official in September due to lackluster sales. The Vivo V17 could be available for purchase in India by the first week of December and it could be priced around Rs. 25,000 (~$353).
