Vivo will unveil the Vivo X100 series of smartphones on Jan. 4 in India. The X100 and X100 Pro are also expected to debut in some other markets around the same time. It appears that the company may shift its focus to the Vivo V30 series of smartphones after the X100 series. This is because the Vivo V30 has received approval from the Bluetooth SIG certification platform, which indicates that its launch may not be far away.
The above image reveals that the Vivo V30, which is identified with the V2318 model code, has been approved by the Bluetooth SIG. The said device was recently spotted in the database of Indonesia’s SDPPI certification and the Geekbench benchmarking platform.
The Geekbench listing of the Vivo V30 revealed that it is equipped with the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chipset, 12 GB of RAM, and Android 14. The Vivo V29 was released as a tweaked version of the Vivo S17, which debuted exclusively in the Chinese market. Hence, it is likely that the V30 could be a tweaked edition of the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3-powered Vivo S18, which launched earlier this month in China.
