Vivo has been very aggressive in the Indian market lately. Recently, the Chinese tech giant launched the Vivo Z1 Pro as its first smartphone in the country with a punch-hole display as well as a Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor. Priced competitively starting at Rs 14,990, it is a mid-range offering with triple-lens camera setup at the rear, a mammoth battery, and an impressive selfie camera. Now, Vivo is planning to launch the Vivo S1 smartphone in India on August 7th. This one is the world’s first phone with a MediaTek Helio P65 processor. So it will be interesting to see what Vivo has up its sleeves for the Vivo V17 series.
