Vivo launched the entry-level Y1s in Cambodia back in August. Now, the company is likely to unveil the same device in India as a report from MySmartPrice says the Vivo might bring the device soon to grab a bite of its rivals’ share.
As per the report, Indian retail sources say that Vivo will launch the Vivo Y1s soon in the country. And just like every other Y series device, this will be primarily focused on the offline market. If you recall, some of the latest Y series devices in India include Vivo Y20, Y20i, and Vivo Y30. The company is also expected to launch a slightly premium Vivo Y51 from Pakistan to India.
And looks like Vivo Y1s will also join the bandwagon. That said, the report has also got hold of the specs of the upcoming Vivo Y1s and it’s exactly the same as the one that launched in Cambodia.
