Gadget Bridge spoke to Vivo about whether it has plans of discontinuing the V15 Pro and V15 handsets in India. The company denied this by saying, “The speculation suggesting the discontinuation of Vivo V15 and V15 Pro from the Indian market are not true and the production of both the devices will continue at our manufacturing facility. Both the devices have been our star performers and have been doing very well in the Indian market. V15 Pro defines Vivo’s ‘innovation lead’ brand proposition in the sub-30k segment. V15 Pro also hit the milestone of the fastest-selling smartphone in Vivo’s history, receiving an overwhelming response from consumers in March this year.” It further added, “Owing to this great success, we recently rolled out new variants for V15 and V15 Pro offering our customers more choice in this series. An updated 8GB RAM memory variant for V15 Pro and Aqua Blue colour variant for V15 was introduced. Not only that, we are working on a daily basis to make the existing product portfolio even more efficient by rolling out timely updates for enhanced consumer experience. We wish to uphold the faith that our consumers have placed in us and aim to serve them better with our ever-growing and sustained product portfolio.” The Chinese company has recently launched its new smartphone – Vivo S1– in its home market. The new handset is available at a starting price of CNY 2, 298 (approximately Rs 23,540). Vivo S1 is expected to arrive in India next month and will be sold at around Rs 20,000.
