Leading global smartphone brand vivo, which has grown to become the preferred smartphone brand of Nepalis in a short span, will be launching more such products and initiatives in 2023 to further strengthen its presence in the region. vivo has had a phenomenal 2022 and ranks among one of the country’s top-selling smartphone brands, owing to its products which are based on a design-driven value, with smart devices and intelligent services at their core.
It never fails to amaze and surprise with its constant innovation and strive for excellence, whether innovating in terms of quality or its outstanding camera capabilities, delivering breakthroughs in fast-charge technology, or developing cutting-edge innovations in design. Sources says that vivo will be introducing latest products from V series and Y series including the most awaited V27 in the year 2023.
Since its inception in Nepal, the brand has been meeting customers’ needs and delivering satisfaction, with 1500+ retail stores and 4 customer service centres across Nepal, a number that is constantly increasing – thanks to the substantial love and appreciation that the Nepali community has showered it with. Globally too, the brand continued with its commitment to connect people through technology, by sponsoring the FIFA World Cup 2022 held in Qatar.
2022 saw an aggressive expansion of its product line with the launch of important flagships, particularly the V23 and V25 series. The brand’s budget friendly and feature-packed Y series also experienced an expansion, with the launches of the Y33s, Y01, Y55, Y15C, Y35, Y22, Y16, and Y22s. Besides, the brand’s Y20 and V21e smartphones experienced price drops to Rs.20,999 and Rs.37,999 respectively.
The year for vivo was also marked with significant strides in innovation, with the V23 5G featuring the Colour Changing Glass as well as a 50MP front camera, and the V25 Series, packing a 4500mAh battery and 44W FlashCharge. The colour changing glass, a refreshing departure from the monotony of single colours, allows the rear panel of the smartphone to gradually transform its colour, when exposed to the ultraviolet light of the sun.
This was implemented realizing that smartphones are integral fashion statements in this day and age. Encouraged by the massively positive reception for its products and innovation, the brand will continue its momentum in this regard with a purpose to democratize and elevate technology pivoting around customers’ needs. In line with Benfen, vivo’s guiding philosophy of doing the right things and doing them the right way, the brand realizes the importance of nurturing the ecosystem where it operates, and has therefore, undertaken multiple crucial initiatives in the past year, including organizing a blood donation camp at Basantapur Durbar Square in December 2022.
Its ‘More Local, More Global’ approach makes vivo a brand that respects and incentivizes local talent as reflected by its ‘vivotine photography contest’, where it awarded talented photographers with prizes and discounts on existing V,S and Y series smartphones. Another testament to its customer centric approach is its ‘vivo Service Day’ which is held at the end of every month, whereby customers can take advantage of free after-sales services that includes cleaning, disinfecting, system recovery and software upgrades, amongst other benefits. On account of its 5th year anniversary in the country in December 2022, it brought back its month-long ‘Sales Carnival’ offering its users exciting gifts, on entering a lucky draw.
The brand also considers the improvement of 5G capabilities in Nepal as a stated purpose. It will continue to augment its services and initiatives in the country more passionately in 2023, to improve its involvement in and contribution to the kind and admirable Nepali community.
