Vivo V20 Gets a Price Cut in India on Amazon, Flipkart

Vivo V20 price in India has been cut by Rs. 2,000. The phone is now listed for Rs. 22,990 on Flipkart and Amazon. It is to be noted that the price of the Vivo V20 (2021), which is an upgrade to the Vivo V20, remains the same.

The company later refreshed the smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G in December. Both the phones have the same design and a 44-megapixel front camera.
