The vivo V17 Pro has been out for a few
months, and the non-Pro V17 made it to India in December, but vivo is already
working on a series that will replace these models. Unsurprisingly given vivo's
naming antics, the next V phones to launch in the subcontinent will be the V19
and V19 Pro. As before, it's likely that the Pro model will launch before the
non-Pro iteration. And according to a new rumor, that launch will happen in
March.
The V19, one anonymous source says, will
have a dual punch-hole display. While it's unclear what the second camera will
be for, it's likely to be a depth sensor to aid in capturing Portrait Mode
selfies - as we've recently seen on the Poco X2 (nee Redmi K30).
On the other hand, one could be an
ultrawide selfie cam - after all, that's what the V17 Pro had, although that
one came with a motorized pop-up setup (while the vanilla V17 made do with one
solitary punch-hole).
vivo should start the pre-booking process
by the end of this month, if we go by past rumors.
