While Xiaomi was busy building its online fan base, Oppo and Vivo played well offline to get a significant percentage of the sales numbers. The company has launched their premium offering, Vivo V9 on March 23.
Unlike the V9, their latest device Y71 didn’t go into the limelight. The company chose to silently launch the device, maybe because it comes in mid-range pricing.
