The core hardware and specifications remain the same but Vivo has included it in its V-series of smartphones. The Vivo V17 launched in Russia sports a dewdrop notch and a diamond-shaped camera module at the back.

Vivo V17 price

The Vivo V17 has been priced at RUB 22,990 (roughly Rs. 25,900). The smartphone has one variant only with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Vivo is selling the Vivo V17 in two colours called Cloudy Blue and Blue Fog in Russia. Vivo is also running an interesting offer where it is giving away the Vivo Y11 for free if you book the Vivo V17 before December 5.

The Vivo S1 Pro on which the Vivo V1 is based was launched in Philipines for PHP 15,999 (roughly Rs. 22,500) last week.

Vivo V17 is based on the Vivo S1 Pro which is tipped to launch in India soon. It'll be interesting to see if Vivo India uses the same rebranding strategy as it did in Russia.
