Vivo Y31e 4G gets Thailand’s NBTC certification: here’s what we know
Vivo Y31e could be an upcoming budget phone from the brand as part of its Y series. 91mobiles has spotted the handset on Thailand’s NBTC certification site, suggesting its imminent launch. The Vivo Y31e would be the fourth phone in the lineup after the Vivo Y31, Vivo Y31 Pro and Vivo Y31t. This is the first time we’re learning about the Vivo Y31e; although there was a Y31e 5G spotted online last year, the phone never launched.
Vivo Y31e 4G NBTC certification
According to the listing, the Vivo Y31e carries the model number V2661. The certification confirms the phone’s name and its launch in Thailand. While it doesn’t reveal any Y31e specifications, the listing suggests the phone may support only 4G. This means that the Vivo Y31e would be a 4G smartphone, possibly sitting below the Y31 and Y31 Pro. While it may seem surprising that Vivo is launching a 4G phone in 2026, the ongoing memory crunch has led to a shift in the budget segment where brands have been launching 4G phones.
Interestingly, there was a Vivo Y31e 5G spotted in the Bluetooth SIG database around October last year. However, the phone never launched, and we didn’t hear anything about it further. It looks like the phone has been revived, and if Vivo intends to launch the Y31e soon, we should get to know more details about it.

Both the Vivo Y31 and Y31 Pro are over a year old now, as they launched in India on September 15th, 2025. The Vivo Y31t 5G is still new, as it launched in September this year. It’s priced at Rs 31,499 and comes with the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, a 7200mAh battery, 50 MP + 2 MP rear cameras, and an 8MP front camera. If the Vivo Y31e does launch, it may offer similar hardware with a large battery, an entry-level processor, and a basic camera setup. Since it could offer only 4G, the Y31e is expected to be priced lower than the other Y31 models.
It’s still too early to say more about the Vivo Y31e since we’re yet to learn its specifications. For now, you could keep an eye on the Y31e if you’re on the lookout for a budget 4G phone from Vivo.
