Vivo Y500 Price And Availability

The base model of 8GB RAM along with a 128GB storage variant comes at a starting price of 1399 yuan, which converts to around Rs 17,289. Similarly, the other models cost: 

Y500 (8GB+256GB): 1599 yuan (Approx. Rs 19,761)

Y500 (12GB+256GB): 1799 yuan (Approx. Rs 22,233)

Y500 (12GB+512GB): 1999 yuan (Approx. Rs 24,704)

The Vivo Y500 comes in three colour options – Glacier Blue, Dragon Crystal Purple, and Black.

It must be noted that its predecessor, Vivo Y400 5G, was launched at a starting price of Rs 21,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant. Hence, we expected that the Vivo Y500 would cost in the same price range.

However, it is too early to expect the price of the Vivo Y500 in India as the launch date is still unknown.
