The highlight of the phone is its six — yes, six — cameras. The pop-up front-camera system consists of 32-megapixel main and 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle selfie shooters. The back brings together 48-megapixel primary, 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle, 13-megapixel telephoto, and 2-megapixel depth sensors.

In India, the Vivo V17 Pro with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is priced at ₹29,990 (around P22,018 or $424). It will probably be a bit higher when it lands here because of higher taxes.
