Vivo Y30 has discreetly launched in India months after debuting in Malaysia. The device has been listed on Flipkart, and its first sale is slated to be held at 8pm IST today. The phone is also listed on the company official site, and Flipkart reveals pricing and other details as well. Vivo Y30 has a quad camera setup at the back with a 13-megapixel main sensor and a large 5,000mAh battery inside. The phone has a hole-punch display design and comes with a fingerprint scanner at the back.
The Vivo Y30 is listed to be priced at Rs. 14,990 for the lone 4GB RAM + 128GB storage option. The phone will come in Dazzle Blue and Emerald Black colour options. As mentioned, it is listed to be available on Flipkart, and the e-commerce app suggests that the sale will be held today at 8pm IST.

Even though the Vivo Y30 is listed on the company website, Vivo has made no announcements regarding the phone's launch. We've contacted the company and will update this copy once we hear back. However, given that Chinese brands have been facing backlash, Vivo's decision may be related to Indo-China tensions.

It features a 6.47-inch HD+ (720x1560 pixels) LCD display and is powered by the octa-core MediaTek Helio P35 (MT6765) SoC, paired with 4GB of RAM.
