Vivo has taken the Indian budget segment by storm with its U- and Z-series and it’s now looking to further its assault on the mid-range segment with the Vivo V17. The company has launched the Vivo V17 today at a launch event in New Delhi.
Starting off with the design, Vivo V17 features a plastic build, but it looks and feels a lot like glass. It comes in two stunning color variants — Midnight Ocean and Glacier Ice. We have the Glacier Ice variant with us and it looks amazing. It sports a rectangular camera bump, which is expected to become a standard in 2020, as well.
Under the hood, it’s the Snapdragon 675 chipset that runs the show. It’s paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage, expandable up to 256GB via the dedicated microSD card slot onboard. Vivo V17 runs Android 9 Pie-based FunTouchOS 9.2 in December – almost 4 months after Android 10 was made official. But we can expect the company to take the wraps off Android 10-based JoviOS at the Vivo X30 5G launch next week.
Vivo V17 comes equipped with a 4,500mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. It also packs all essential connectivity options including GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, and more.
