Founded in 2009 in China, vivo a relatively new smartphone brand spent its first few years penetrating the China mobile phone market. By 2017, the brand had expanded into over 100 countries in Asian and Europe. These countries include: India, Philippines, Thailand, Russia, Bangladesh and Hong Kong amongst many others. 

Fast forward to 2019 and vivo makes a grand entrance into Africa with the launch of its flagship product – vivo V17 Pro that houses the first ever elevating Dual Pop Up camera. The brand which is known for its innovativeness was also the first to launch a smartphone with an In-Display Fingerprint sensor at a time when the industry standard was having fingerprint sensors positioned either at the rear of the device or on the home button. The brand also produced the first smartphone to spot an elevating 24MP front camera from APEX™.

The vivo V17 Pro just like the previous models produced by the smartphone brand is an embodiment of innovative features. The device houses a 32MP Dual Pop Up camera and a 60MP AI Quad Camera. The Dual Pop Up Front Camera also has a Selfie Softlight which helps to capture clear pictures in low light environments while the rear camera has a combination of lenses including the macro that helps capture tiny details of close-up shots. One more fascinating thing about the vivo V17 Pro camera is the way the Dual Pop-Up cameras retracts automatically when it detects the device in free fall. 

Indeed, it has been an interesting year in the Nigeria mobile phone market especially with the arrival of new entrants like vivo amongst others. As the competition stiffens amongst existing players, new players like vivo will continue to leverage on their innovativeness and outlandish designs to sway new customers. 

In a bid to appreciate its customers and acquire new ones, vivo is giving a 5% slash on the sales of the V17 Pro throughout the festivity. Amazing right? I thought so too.

While we look forward to 2020 with a lot of hope and positivity, let us not forget to enjoy the beauty of the season and get the most out of its perks.

Merry vivo Christmas.
