Chinese smartphone maker Vivo has permanently cut the price of its Vivo Y81 mid-range smartphone and it is now available at a new price of Rs. 11,990 in the Indian market. To recall, the smartphone was launched in India back in August this year at a price of Rs. 12,999. Key highlights of the smartphone include a 19:9 display with a notch on top, a 3,260mAh battery, and Face Unlock capabilities. At its new price, the smartphone competes with the likes of Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 and Oppo Realme 1 in India.

This permanent price cut, confirmed by Vivo to Gadgets 360, was first reported by Mumbai-based retailer Mahesh Telecom, who has been accurate on price revisions in the past. The Vivo Y81 can be bought across Flipkart, Amazon.in, and Vivo’s online store in India, in Black and Gold colour options. Notably, the revised pricing does not yet reflect on Flipkart’s website, however that is expected to happen soon.
