Vivo recently launched the Y51 smartphone in India back in December. Now, a report by MySmartPrice says that it will get a watered-down sibling soon.

According to the report, Vivo Y51A(2021) will be a slightly toned-down variant of the Y51. Citing retail sources, it says that the device will be the new Y-smartphone from Vivo in India. That’s not the only device with a Year tag on it. Recently, Vivo also brought a Vivo V20(2021) with slightly tweaked specs from Vivo V20.

Anyway, the report says that Vivo Y51A(2021) will sport a Snapdragon 662 SoC onboard. In contrast, if you look at the Vivo Y51, it has a Snapdragon 665 with a 10% slightly higher frequency. This already hints that the device will have less-appealing specs compared to the Y51. However, we can’t rule out the highlighting point that could be a plus for it, the price.

The Vivo Y51 with features like a FHD+ display, 8GB RAM, bigger camera than Y50, retails for 17,990($245). Hence, the Y51A should be definitely a bit cheaper than its sibling. That said, the report doesn’t have any further information regarding the specs, and design but we feel that it might have some similarities to the Y51.
