Important Question – Why are prices going up?
Vivo hasn’t officially explained the price revision, but the trend isn’t limited to one brand. Across the industry, smartphone prices have been slowly rising. The usual reasons are still considered to be the higher component costs (especially memory and chipsets), the currency fluctuations, and ongoing supply chain pressure.
