Vivo V70 series price hike
Vivo V70 Elite
Starting with the most premium model in the lineup, the Vivo V70 Elite (review) now starts at Rs 66,999 for the base variant, which comes with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. This is after a price hike of Rs 8,000 on the same variant, which was earlier priced at Rs 58,999, after the first price hike. The 12GB + 256GB variant now touches Rs 71,999, entering flagship pricing.
| Variant | Old price | New price |
| 8GB + 256GB | Rs 58,999 | Rs 66,999 |
| 12GB + 256GB | Rs 63,999 | Rs 71,999 |
The new pricing pushes the Vivo V70 Elite to a new segment altogether, making it more expensive than options like the OnePlus 15R, which has a bigger battery and faster chipset. For users prioritising raw performance, the V70 Elite at Rs 71,999 might now be a harder sell compared to alternatives, despite its camera prowess. However, the Vivo V70 Elite still holds its own with a compact design, vibrant display, and versatile cameras.

The Vivo V70 FE has a large display, a capable mid-range Dimensity chipset, and an ‘ultra large’ VC cooling system for heat dissipation. The handset has a powerful 200MP primary camera, several AI features, and a large 7,000mAh battery.
Since the Vivo V70 series is much costlier now, it’s advised to compare and check prices with competing phones, as every other brand is going through the same situation. The Vivo V70 and V70 Elite can be recommended for their compact and premium design, versatile cameras, and dependable performance and battery. The V70 FE is for the budget-conscious who wants a well-balanced mid-range phone.
The Vivo V70 series is only a few months old, so you’re not buying an old model. And their successors are expected to launch at higher prices. If you need a premium mid-range phone and the V70 series fits your requirements, then you can go for it.
