Vivo Y91i to be launched in India for Rs. 7,990

Just a few days back, Vivo announced the launch of the Vivo V15 Pro smartphone in India with advanced specifications and features. Now, there were claims that the company is all set to bring another smartphone to the country but this time an entry-level offering.

Well, the talk is about an upcoming Vivo smartphone called Vivo Y91i. As per a report by 91mobiles, this smartphone is likely to be launched in India soon at a price point of Rs. 7,990. The report also notes that the smartphone will go on sale in the country starting from the first week of March. Apart from these details, the other aspects regarding this device are yet to be divulged.

For now, Vivo Y91i is up for sale in the Philippines. It is a downgraded variant of the Vivo Y91 as it comes with slightly toned-down specifications and costs relatively lesser. If it is launched for Rs. 7,990, then this will be one of the cheapest smartphones from the company to arrive with a bezel-less notch display and dual rear cameras.
