Priced at a very affordable price of Rs 13,999, the phone is now available for purchase on Amazon and the official Vivo India website. Another feature that sets this model apart is the Dynamic Light, which is a vibrant circular light around the camera module, enhancing it with vibrant lights during music playback and reminders.
