The company is also reshaping its A-series lineup, which is focused on offline sales and is reportedly planning to launch nine smartphones under A series.
A report from 91mobiles, based on its sources in the retail market, suggests that the Chinese company’s entry-level Y-series will get two new smartphones during the IPL season — Vivo Y3 and Vivo Y5 that will directly take on the budget Samsung smartphones in India.
