Vivo also didn’t discuss which devices would receive the update, but the Vivo X21 (above) seems likely (we enquired about that handset specifically).

The pop-up camera-wielding Vivo Nex could also be among the first Vivo devices to get the new Android version.

In response to our questions on when we could expect Pie, Vivo said:

Designing for consumers’ needs continues to be Vivo’s top priority. Upgrading to the latest Android Pie operating system to deliver better mobile experience is therefore an area Vivo is working on bringing to consumers as soon as possible.
