The event will take place at 7 PM China time / 1 PM CET / noon BST / 7 AM EST / 4 AM PST, in case you’re wondering. It will be in Chinese, though, so chances are not many of you will follow along.
Vivo does usually release its flagship lineups to more markets, to some of them. The point is that global variants do become a thing after the initial launch. So, chances are that we’ll get a global variant of at least one of these devices.
