Vivo Y51L Smartphone

Alex Feng, CEO, Vivo India, said, "The Indian smartphone market is tech savvy and price sensitive. The affordable segment is the growth driver, as the young generation today looks for a phone which is best in features, beautiful in design and is priced competitively. Last year, we witnessed huge sales and positive demand for products in the budget range across markets, which boosted us to launch the Y51L. The new launch will further strengthen our hold on the market and help us establish ourselves among our consumers".

The Vivo Y51L smartphone will have to compete against LeEco Le 1s and Huawei's Holly 2 Plus, which were recently launched in India, at the same price range and specification. Vivo Y51L seems more relevant than others as it has mainstream hardware and its availability in the offline market gives a bit of edge over its competitors.
