The vivo V15 originally launched INR23,990 ($344) received a second slash on its price going down to INR19,990 ($287).
Despite the cut, both these smartphones are sold at their old prices on Amazon.in, Flipkart and through vivo India’s official online store. However, we expect to see the new prices going live soon.

The vivo Y17 is a mid-range offering, so it leaves some of the Y15 premium aspects to deliver a solid performance for the lower budget. It is powered by the MediaTek’s Helio P35 with 4GB RAM and up to 128GB of Storage. It sports a 6.35-inch waterdrop notch panel, but unfortunately, the resolution is only HD+. The handset also comes with a triple camera setup composed of 13MP+8MP+2MP cameras. The front-facing camera lives inside the notch and features 20MP. The device runs Android 9 Pie with FunTouch 9 and is fueled by a massive 5,000mAh battery.
