After rolling out the Vivo Y19 5G in India just last month, the company seems to be quietly working on another addition to its Y-series lineup. While the official name hasn’t been confirmed yet, early leaks hint at a new budget-friendly phone that could make a splash—especially with a curved AMOLED display, a feature that’s still pretty rare in this price range.
According to a report from 91mobiles, which cites unnamed industry insiders, Vivo is planning to introduce a new Y-series smartphone that may claim the title of the slimmest device with a 3D curved AMOLED screen under ₹15,000. If that turns out to be true, it’s a bold move that could give the brand an edge in India’s increasingly competitive mid-range segment.
A few design details have started to emerge. The phone is rumored to come in three colours: festive gold, freestyle white, and nebula purple. The freestyle white version, interestingly, might sport a distinctive rear panel pattern. The device is also tipped to be just 7.49mm thick—unusually slim for this segment, especially if it manages to pack in a big battery.
There’s no word yet on the exact launch date or full specs, so take all this with a pinch of salt for now. Vivo hasn’t made anything official, and these early leaks often shift before release. Still, given that Vivo already offers several curved-screen options like the Y78 5G, Y200 Pro, and Y300 Plus, a more affordable version seems plausible.
In case you missed it, the Vivo Y19 5G debuted in May and is priced at ₹10,499 for the 4GB + 64GB model. It features a 6.74-inch HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate, a modest dual camera setup on the back (13MP + 0.08MP), and a 5MP front camera. It runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip and carries a 5,500mAh battery with 15W fast charging—decent specs for everyday users.
If Vivo does launch this new phone with the promised curved display and slim build under ₹15K, it could shake things up in the entry-level market. For now, though, we wait.
