Kenyan smartphone buyers now have another option to consider, as vivo V19 has started selling in the country.
Launched three weeks ago, the device was initially set for release on July 2nd and wider availability in retail stores by July 8th, but its availability was pushed forward due to delays caused by the 'new normal'.
The vivo V19 is priced at Kshs 41,000, putting it in direct competition with the Samsung Galaxy A71 and the Huawei Nova 5T, both of which were launched earlier in the year. More recent additions to the market, the Oppo Reno3 and the Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite, have also entered the same price range.
The vivo V19 features a dual punch-hole design, an in-display fingerprint sensor, and '33W vivo FlashCharge 2.0 technology that enables a 0 to 54 percent charge in just 30 minutes'. It is available in Gleam Black and Sleek Silver colour options, with 8GB RAM and 128GB onboard storage.
