One of Vivo Philippines‘ bestselling smartphones — if not the bestselling model — has a more affordable version that’s arriving soon.

(Update, August 14: And the price is out!)

The Vivo Y11 with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage will be available exclusively at the company’s official store on ecommerce site Shopee August 14. The teaser shared by Vivo shows the handset will go on sale for under P6,000 (under $123), but the exact suggested retail price has not been revealed yet.

Based on the pricing of other units from the brand, we think the SRP is either P5,499 ($112) or P5,999 ($123). Take note also that the current Y11 3GB/32GB version, which has been on sale in the Philippines for some time, is retailing at P6,499 ($133).

The Vivo Y11 has always been a popular budget device. More recently, for example, it topped the list of 10 bestselling phones during the first enhanced community quarantine imposed by the Philippine government.

It features Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 439 chip, a big 5,000mAh battery, two rear cameras headlined by a 13-megapixel one, an 8-megapixel selfie shooter, a physical fingerprint reader on the back, and Android 9.

If the 2GB/32GB variant becomes a hit as well, this might just help Vivo retain its status as the No. 1 smartphone vendor in the Philippines.
