According to a new report published by 91Mobiles, the Vivo V19 series will go on pre-booking in India later in the month. The series will include two phones, the Vivo V19 and Vivo V19 Pro which are said to debut in the country in March. The launch of the two phones appears to have been planned to just come ahead of the new season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 that is scheduled for March 23.
While there is no official word yet, the Vivo V19 is likely to be the successor to the Vivo V17, with the Vivo V19 Pro coming in as an upgrade to the Vivo V17 Pro.
