Models which are likely to be offered are an in ear models and more āprofessionalā headphone versions. There are reports that Vivo have teamed with with manufacturer Sol Republic to launch the accessories.
It is likely that Vivo will launch their headphones with the Vivo Xplay 3S on 12 December. The Vivo Xplay 3S will launch with a 2K display, F1.8 rear camera, 3GB RAM, 4G LTE, USB 3.0, and Snapdragon 800 processor.
