Vivo Nex price in India has been slashed by Rs. 5,000
Vivo Nex price in India has been slashed by Rs. 5,000. It appears the Chinese company was looking to start the new year off with a surprise. To recall, the smartphone was launched in India back in July, and was priced at Rs. 44,990 back then. The smartphone's price has been cut across channels, which means it will be sold for Rs. 39,990 online and offline. Vivo has confirmed to Gadgets 360 that the price cut is permanent across channels, and is not a part of a sale for a limited period.
After the price cut, the Vivo Nex will now retail for Rs. 39,990 across online and offline stores in India. The new price is already reflecting on Amazon India, and Mumbai-based retailer Mahesh Telecom has also confirmed the price drop separately. Alongside the price drop, as part of its Vivo Carnival Sale, Amazon has listed no-cost EMI options, exchange offer of up to Rs. 21,000, and 5 percent cashback on SBI Credit EMI transactions.
Even the Vivo India site lists the Vivo Nex with the new price, and is offering free Bluetooth headphones with the purchase. Other offers include No Cost EMI options up to 12 months, exchange discount, and 5 percent cashback on HDFC Credit Cards and EMI transactions.
This price drop comes just a few weeks after the Vivo Nex Dual Display launch, and it could be to set the tone for the smartphone's launch in India. There's no word from Vivo regarding the launch of the Vivo Nex Dual Display in India as of yet.
