What it means for people in Pakistan
Buyers who want the phone early can reserve it from today instead of waiting for the November 17 sale. The reported prices put the V80 in the premium range, above Rs200,000, so buyers should confirm the final retail price with vivo or an authorised retailer when booking, as prices can change before launch. Phones bought through vivo’s official channels in Pakistan are PTA-approved and carry a local warranty.
