After launching the Vivo Y100 smartphone in India earlier this year, Vivo has announced that a device with the same name will be debuting in the Chinese market on October 27. What makes this device special is that this will be the first time in 12 years that Vivo will be launching a Y-series smartphone online. Till now, the Y-series has only been available to buy in physical stores.
The Chinese version of the Vivo Y100 looks a bit different in design from the Indian model. It notably has just two cameras on the back along with an LED flash. The overall design is also a bit distinct and premium compared to the Indian variant. It has curved edges rather than flat ones. The front panel of the phone is still under wraps, however, it won’t be surprising if Vivo opts for a curved AMOLED display. Take a look at the specs and features of the Indian Y100 model to get an idea of what to expect from the Chinese one.
