In recent months, several smartphone brands have increased the prices of their smartphones. While OEMs have refrained from officially commenting on the hikes, it is largely attributed to the global shortage of memory components due to demand for enterprise-focused data centres. Vivo has allegedly become the latest brand to revise its pricing for several handsets, such as the Vivo V70 and Vivo V70 Elite. It is said to affect mid-range models too, including the Vivo Y-series.

The standard Vivo V70 is also said to have become more expensive. The 8GB + 256GB RAM and storage variant now allegedly costs Rs. 53,999, compared to its earlier price of Rs. 49,999. The 12GB + 256GB configuration is also tipped to have seen its price increase from Rs. 53,999 to Rs. 56,999.
The price revision also affects the brand’s mid-range Y-series. As per the tipster, the Vivo Y21 has received a smaller revision, with the 6GB + 128GB variant now available at Rs. 21,999. This suggests an increase of Rs. 1,000 over its previous price of Rs. 20,999.

At the time of writing, the updated prices have been made live across the Vivo website. However, the brand has not officially confirmed the reported price revision. Gadgets 360 has reached out to Vivo for a comment on the reported price hike and will update the story when a response is received.
The reported revision follows a similar trend noticed earlier this year. In May, Vivo was believed to have increased the prices of several smartphones, including the Vivo T5x, Vivo V70 Elite, Vivo Y400, Vivo Y51 Pro, and Vivo Y31 5G in India. The Vivo V70 Elite and Y400 are once again part of the latest reported revision.
