Vivo V17 To Launch With Punch-Hole Display In India

Vivo is all set to bring its latest mid-range V17 smartphone in the second week of December in India. The smartphone was recently launched silently in the Russian market with a quad-rear camera setup and a Full HD+ display. Apparently, Vivo is planning to launch the handset in India with some minor changes. Details are as follows:

Vivo V17 India Launch Details

The Vivo V17 has gone official with a 6.38-inch FHD+ display in Russia which features a waterdrop notch. However, the company is said to launch the V17 in India with a punch-hole design.

The information comes from 91Mobiles revealing the new design element of the device. As of now, there is no specific timeline available for the V17's launch in India, however, its pricing is said to be somewhere around Rs. 22,000.

Vivo V17 Hardware And Software Features

The Vivo V17 is equipped with a diamond-shaped quad-rear camera setup with a 48MP Samsung GM1 primary sensor. The primary sensor is clubbed with an 8MP ultra-wide angle sensor, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor.

The smartphone flaunts a 6.38-inch Super AMOLED display with an FHD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch that houses a 32MP selfie camera. Taking care of the processing is an octa-core Snapdragon 665 chipset paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage.

It is unknown why Vivo used a slightly lower processor on the V17; considering the affordable Vivo U20 comes with a Snapdragon 675 processor. A high-end processor would have made more sense.

The Vivo V17 boots on Android Pie and offers a Fun Touch OS 9.2 user interface. For security, the handset features an in-display fingerprint scanner beside the standard Face Unlock feature.

The handset is packed with a 4,500 mAh battery unit. We are waiting for Vivo to reveal an official launch date of the V17 in India and will keep you updated on its pricing and availability details.
