After appearing on Taiwan’s NBTC (National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission), the Vivo Y81 is now official in the country. The handset’s Y81 moniker was under wraps earlier when it appeared on Geekbench and other certification bodies like EEC and Ecomm in Malaysia. It had a model number Vivo 1808 and the same model number belongs to the Vivo Y81.
The handset’s model number is close to the Vivo 1802 or Vivo Y83 and so are the design and specifications. However, as we will see, there are some changes to warrant a new launch.
