Vivo is preparing to launch the V80 in India this September, and the leaked pricing suggests a significant jump from previous models. Buyers looking for a mid-range device will need to adjust their budgets, as the new device starts well above the entry point of its predecessor. This price shift marks a clear move upmarket for the brand in the Indian segment.

Tipster Abhishek Yadav has shared the phone’s Indian pricing, stating the 8GB + 128GB model starts at Rs 63,000 INR (around $657). The 8GB + 256GB version is listed at Rs 70,000 INR (around $730), and the 8GB + 512GB model is priced at Rs 80,000 INR (around $834). These figures represent a substantial increase compared to the Vivo V70 8GB+256GB model, which launched at Rs 45,999.
