Expected Launch Alongside Vivo V18:
The Vivo Y18e isn't the only phone making an appearance. The BIS database also spotted the Vivo V18, suggesting a potential dual launch from Vivo. This could indicate a series launch, similar to how Vivo introduced the Y17s last year.
Possible Successor to the Y17s:
Speaking of the Y17s, launched in October 2023, it offered a compelling package in the budget segment. Here's a quick refresher on its specs to get an idea of what the Y18e and V18 might hold:

| Vivo Y17s |
- Display: 6.56-inch IPS LCD with HD+ resolution (720 x 1612 pixels) and 60Hz refresh rate
- Camera: 50MP primary sensor, 2MP bokeh lens, and an 8MP selfie camera
- Performance: MediaTek Helio G85 chipset, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage
- Battery: 5,000mAh with 15W fast charging

If Vivo follows a similar strategy with the Y18e and V18, we can expect them to be competitively priced budget smartphones.
