As the year comes to an end, Vivo launches V17 in its V-series. After being launched in the Philippines, the smartphone is now available in India but with a slightly different design - a rectangular camera.
It comes in two colour variants - Midnight Ocean and Glacier Ice. The smartphone features a 6.44-inch E3 Super-AMOLED display and is reportedly great for those who love watching videos on their phones. For easy usage, the power, as well as volume buttons, are placed at the right side. It has an L-shaped, quad-rear camera setup.
Despite featuring a huge 4500mAh battery, the device is lightweight (176 grams). It comprises 48MP primary sensor with f/1.8 aperture, an 8MP sensor with f/2.2 for wide-angle shots and two 2MP sensors with f/2.4 aperture for Bokeh and macro shots each. The Super Night mode in both front and rear cameras captures clear and beautiful shots. The camera app has features like AI beautification, Portrait lighting and Pro mode.
The Vivo V17 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 chip that offers smooth performance. It ships with Android 9 Pie with Funtouch OS 9.2 on top of it. In the SIM tray, the device has dual nano-SIM slots along with a dedicated microSD card slot. It comes with a USB-C port and supports 18W fast charging.
With Vivo V17, the company has taken on Realme X2 (8GB RAM+128GB ROM variant) priced at Rs 19,999 and Redmi K20 (6GB RAM+64ROM) available for Rs 19,999.
