Vivo is once again set to dominate the “premium mid-range” photography segment. The brand has officially announced the launch date for its next-gen V-series in India: the Vivo V70 and the first-ever Vivo V70 Elite.
This series isn’t just a minor upgrade; it’s a full-blown leap into flagship territory with optics co-engineered by Zeiss and a display that could arguably be the brightest in its class.
