Vivo S1 price in India

The Vivo S1 price in India has been slashed from Rs. 17,990 to Rs. 16,990 for the base 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant, as per the listing on the Vivo India E-Store. The price cut is applicable only to the starting model, and not on the other variants. This means the 6GB RAM + 64GB storage variant of the Vivo S1 is still priced at Rs. 18,990, while its 6GB RAM + 128GB storage option continues to cost you Rs. 19,990.

Alongside the official listing, the price cut is visible on online marketplaces including Flipkart. The availability of the phone is currently limited due to the lockdown restrictions in the country. Customers in the Green and Orange zones will be able to purchase the handset from online stores, while it would be available through an offline store in some Red zones.

The Vivo S1 was launched in India in August with a different hardware over what debuted in China in March last year.
