It looks like Vivo is going to launch another phone from the V80 series in India. Reports suggest that the Vivo V80 FE was spotted on the website of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), which suggests that Vivo may launch a budget variant of their recently-launched Vivo V80. The model number of the phone is listed as V2624, but there are no details about the specs or its launch date.

This comes after the introduction of the standard version of Vivo V80 in India. Vivo had recently added the V80 to its range of smartphones, offering premium features including photography, display, and battery life. If the phone launches, it will be targeting those customers who wish to buy a feature-packed smartphone without spending as much as the standard one costs.

Vivo V80 FE India Launch: What We Know So Far

The latest evidence is the listing of the Vivo V80 FE on the BIS certification site. Prior to this, this model number was spotted on the certification website of Indonesia, SDPPI, on October 8, where it carried the name Vivo V80 FE. However, a listing on certification websites in both markets only makes a phone launch even more possible, but not a guarantee of when exactly the release will take place.

Sadly, neither of the listings contains any information about the phone's specifications. Information about the phone's chip, screen, camera set-up, battery size, charging speed and internal memory remains a mystery.

The current listing on the BIS certification platform becomes quite relevant due to the fact that the standard Vivo V80 hit the market in India on October 13. The date of grant of this listing was noted as October 16. It means that despite all these facts, the next device in V80 series remains a mystery for now.

Vivo V80 Price in India and Specifications

The regular Vivo V80 phone has been designed in the premium segment, and its price starts from Rs 62,999 for the model with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage capacity. Another model with storage capacity of 512 GB is priced at Rs 79,999, which means that such a smartphone is too expensive for many potential consumers who seek a premium mid-range phone.

As for the specs of this device, the phone is equipped with the 1.5K AMOLED screen with the refresh rate of 144 Hz, which should ensure high-quality picture and fast scrolling. Another important feature of this phone is photography as the Vivo V80 model comes with the Zeiss cameras including 50 MP main sensor and 50 MP telephoto camera with OIS.

Moreover, it has a big 7,200 mAh battery with 90W fast-charging capability. Such specifications can be handy for those people who use their smartphones for video watching, surfing the Internet, playing games or taking pictures for most of the time during the day.

With regard to the price of the standard smartphone model, FE version will allow Vivo to attract more customers. However, at the moment, it is too early to tell what features will be kept or changed in the Vivo V80 FE.

Vivo V80 FE Specifications

Despite not getting any information from the certification listings regarding the specs of the Vivo V80 FE, the previous model can be used to infer about the likely positioning of the upcoming smartphone.

The Vivo V70 FE is equipped with a 6.83 inch 1.5K AMOLED screen with 120Hz refresh rate. This model runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7360 Turbo chipset, along with the 200MP rear camera. The smartphone has a 7000mAh battery coupled with 90W fast charging. Battery and charging capabilities are two main features of this smartphone.

The 8GB/128GB version of the Vivo V70 FE is priced at Rs 37,999. The current pricing of the device is around Rs 44,999. If Vivo continues with the same approach with the upcoming V80 FE, the next smartphone can be centered around offering a combination of camera features, battery life, and performance at a reduced price compared to the regular V80. But all that still is mere speculation based on the previous generation. There is no official news about the type of processor used in the new smartphone: either MediaTek or Qualcomm; nor whether it will be equipped with a high-res camera or will have a big battery like its predecessor.

And last but not least, the final price matters. The company would have to make sure that it distinguishes itself from not only the regular V80 but also the current V70 FE for those who compare cameras, charging speeds, and value.

Should You Wait for the Vivo V80 FE?

Whether you should wait for the release of Vivo V80 FE depends on your budget and on how quickly you need a smartphone. As the gadget is only available in certification sites, there is no reliable data on the performance, camera quality, and value of the device.

Those people who require a smartphone now should consider the Vivo V70 FE. This model is already available and has a 200MP main camera, a huge 7,000mAh battery, 90W super fast charging, and a 120Hz AMOLED screen.

However, if people who are interested in the latest V80-series gadgets and are ready to wait a little bit should follow the news about Vivo V80 FE. The official announcement will give more details about the specification, pricing, and place of the smartphone among other products of the company.

In the end, the difference between the price of the FE model and the standard V80 could make the decision easier. It could happen that the company manages to keep some characteristics of the series but lower the cost.

Appearance of the Vivo V80 FE in the BIS certification site is just a hint that the smartphone may find its way into India. It was also spotted on the SDPPI site in Indonesia; however, both these sightings do not confirm anything about the launch date or the exact hardware of the phone.

As of today, there is no information about the chipset used, cameras, battery, fast charging features, and pricing of the Vivo V80 FE. The only thing that can be said now is that buyers need to wait until the company announces more details regarding the smartphone.

In case the company starts hinting at the release of the device, things will become clearer. If not, buyers should keep their fingers crossed and hope for the best.
