The ever-evolving global smartphone brand vivo, has announced the launch of the newest entrant in Y-Series, the vivo Y20s in Kenya.

This is a reason we have the Y20s in Kenya,’’ said Mr. James Irungu, vivo Smartphone Kenya Brand and Communications Manager.
The new Y20s that retails for 20,999Ksh countrywide, comes with a long-lasting 5000mAh battery, with 18W FlashCharge Technology, high-end specs and a Side Mounted Fingerprint Scanner for instant unlocking.
