Vivo unveiled the Vivo S17 and S17t smartphones in China back in May this year. The vanilla model has been available in colors like black, blue, and pink since launch. Today, the company announced the S17’s new purple variant for the Chinese market.

The new color variant of the Vivo S17, dubbed “Encounter Purple,” has been introduced on the occasion of the upcoming Chinese Valentine’s Day (Qixi Festival), which falls on Aug. 28 this year. Vivo is yet to confirm the availability of the S17’s purple variant. It appears that it will be available for purchase on that date.
