The latest Vivo V17 is here! This is an Indian version featuring an awesome design and upgraded specs. The most awaited feature of this phone includes a hole-punch display design and an L-shaped quad rear camera setup. You will notice that the iView Display hosts the selfie camera and it is driven by an E3 Super AMOLED panel. The latest Vivo V17 comes with other exciting features, including Multi-Turbo mode, Voice Changer, and AR Stickers. A slightly more budget version would be the Vivo V15 Pro. which has similar features as the V17 model.
The Launch
Vivo is holding an event on December 9th in India featuring the V17. Did you know that the recently announced V17 is not similar to this V17? Well, we agree it is indeed confusing. With at least one major change and multiple minor ones, it would all be introduced at the event. The V17 is expected to come with a punch-hole camera and it looks a bit like the S5. The V17 in India is different from other countries and is similar to the S5. We see confusions and chaos over the name in the not so distant future.
Vivo V17 in India
The Vivo V17 comes at a very reasonable price and almost at the same rate at the other models. It comes with a 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. The phone is available in multiple colours including Midnight Ocean (Black) and Glacier Ice (White). The product will go on sale by December 17.
