There are no RAM and storage details available at the moment but if it is indeed based on the Vivo S6 we can expect it to sport 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The report suggests that the new Vivo G1 will start at CNY 3,000 (roughly around Rs. 32,000). No word right now on whether Vivo will bring this phone to India.
