Vivo is said to be preparing to increase the prices of several smartphones in India. According to a tipster, the Chinese tech company could raise prices by up to Rs. 5,000 across its X, S, and Y series smartphones. The reported price revision affects several models across different storage configurations, with the steepest increase expected on the Vivo X300 FE. The 8GB + 256GB and 12GB + 256GB variants of the smartphone are reportedly set to become Rs. 5,000 more expensive. The move could come ahead of or after the upcoming Flipkart Big Billion Days and Amazon Great Indian Festival sales.

The Vivo X300 FE is reportedly set to receive the biggest price revision. The 8GB + 256GB variant is said to increase from Rs. 84,999 to Rs. 89,999, while the 12GB + 256GB model could move from Rs. 89,999 to Rs. 94,999. Both variants would therefore cost Rs. 5,000 more.
