Vivo V20 2021 has quietly gone on sale in India. Up until now, the Vivo phone was a part of the rumour mill and was recently spotted on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) website. The Vivo V20 2021 comes as an upgrade to the Vivo V20 that the company launched in the Indian market in October. It has the same design as the earlier model, but includes an all-new system-on-chip (SoC). The Vivo V20 2021 also comes in two distinct colour options to choose from.

Vivo V20 2021 price in India has been set at Rs. 24,990 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. The pricing is identical to the variant of the Vivo 20 launched in October. At present, the Vivo V20 2021 is available for purchase through Amazon in Midnight Jazz and Sunset Melody colour options.
