In September, a Vivo phone model number V2102A was spotted at the Geekbench benchmarking site. Last week, it received approval from China’s MIIT authority. Now, it has been certified by the 3C regulatory body of China.
As can be seen in the screenshot shared by Digital Chat Station, the V2102A is a 5G-ready device, and it may ship with a 44W charger. According to the tipster, this device will be released in the Chinese market with the Vivo Y71T moniker.
The V2102A’s Geekbench listing had revealed that it could be Vivo’s first smartphone powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 898 (part number sm8450). It can be said based on tipster’s Weibo post that Vivo had conducted a reliability test on the sm8450 chip and it replaced the model number of the actual device with V2102A.
Hence, it appears that the V2102A is not a flagship phone. It is now expected to arrive as a Y-series phone with the Y71T moniker. Now that it has been approved by the 3C authority, it is likely to appear with some of its key specs at the TENAA certification site.
In related news, a few other Vivo phones with model numbers V2009A, V2115A, and V2156A were recently certified by the TENAA authority of China. The V2156A is expected to arrive as a rebranded version of the upcoming iQOO Z5x. The specifications of the V2009A were found to be similar to the V2156A. The V2115’s specifications suggested that it could be a rebadged version of the iQOO Z5.
