Furthermore, the volume rockers and the power buttons are present on the right spine, while the SIM tray section should be placed on the left. Though there is a bezel beneath the display, it doesn’t seem to be as thick as some of the other mid-range phones. While nothing can be said about the hardware specifications, these hands-on images give an idea of what’s coming. Nipun Marya, brand strategy director at Vivo India, mentioned that the U-series is youth-centric and the handsets would also support fast-charging, and the adapter will be included in the box. Given the emphasis on the charging speeds, we can expect larger capacity batteries.

Apart from the upcoming U-series, Vivo already has the new Z-series with Z1 Pro and Z1x smartphones catering the online-segment. For the offline market, it recently introduced the S-series with the Vivo S1 smartphone. While the V-series established itself as a series that handles the Rs 20,000-Rs 30,000 price range. We should know more details about the upcoming U-series phone in the next few weeks.
