Ordinarily, I don’t see Vivo as a smartphone manufacturer that cares much about low-cost mobile phones for users. When compiling this information, I was especially shocked to note that for seven months of 2019, Vivo only has a smartphone which cost just $1 less of $100. Now I know that some of us may have been searching for cheap Vivo phones and may have been disappointed. This list here is for you. Unfortunately, not many of the company’s phones came cheap but I was able to squeeze out just five.
