When it comes to budget and mid-range smartphone segments in the Indian mobile market, Vivo’s devices are among the better ones out there. The Chinese technology company’s portfolio includes a whole bunch of smartphones, especially in the budget Y-series. Now, the company has slashed the prices of two of its Y-series smartphones, making them even more affordable. This was announced via a tweet by Mahesh Telecom, a Mumbai-based smartphone retailer.
Starting off with Vivo Y71i, the smartphone now costs Rs 7,990, post a price reduction of Rs 1,000. The Y1i is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 SoC, paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. It has a 6-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 720×1440 pixels and an 18:9 aspect ratio. There’s Android 8.1 Oreo on-board, skinned with Vivo’s Funtouch OS overlay.
