Chinese tech company Vivo Mobile has announced that they will be heading to the Philippines to introduce their latest handheld devices. To start with the domination in the country, the Chinese company officially launched the Vivo Y51 smartphone for P7,990 ($174).

A few years ago, these well-known brands were already present in the smartphone industry in Philippines, since Filipinos are into devices with cheap prices but with a good and impressive quality product.
