Vivo V70 Appears on IMDA Certification Site – Global Launch Expected Soon

The Vivo V70 is inching closer to its official debut. A new listing on Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) database suggests that the smartphone’s global launch may be just around the corner.

The upcoming device, rumored to succeed the Vivo V60, has already made multiple certification appearances—including the IMDA, US FCC, and Geekbench—hinting that Vivo is gearing up to unveil the phone in the international market soon.

So, what can we expect from the Vivo V70? Here’s a full rundown based on early leaks and certifications.

Listing

The IMDA listing is among the strongest indicators yet of an imminent global launch. According to The Tech Outlook, a Vivo device with the model number V2538 has been certified in Singapore. While the name “Vivo V70” isn’t directly mentioned, the model number is widely believed to be linked to the upcoming handset.

The IMDA database confirms that the phone will support key connectivity options such as:

• 5G
• NFC
• Wi-Fi
• Bluetooth

These match the specifications mentioned in the device’s earlier listing on the US FCC site. If history is any guide, such certification appearances are usually followed by an official announcement within a month or two.

Hardware

Performance-wise, the Vivo V70 is expected to pack the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset. This is the same series seen in the Vivo V60, although the V70 might be getting a newer or more optimized version. According to leaked Geekbench data, the chipset offers:

• A peak clock speed of 2.8GHz
• One prime core, three performance cores, and four efficiency cores
• Paired with an Adreno 722 GPU
• At least 8GB of RAM (with a possible 12GB variant)

Here’s a quick look at the Geekbench scores:

These scores suggest a solid upper-mid-range performance, ideal for users looking for fast multitasking and gaming without spending flagship-level money.

Configuration

Storage and RAM options are also seeing an upgrade. The Vivo V70 is expected to be offered in at least one high-end variant:

• 12GB RAM + 256GB Storage

While Vivo hasn’t confirmed if lower variants like 8GB + 128GB will be offered, it’s likely, given that the Vivo V60 had a more affordable base version.

Software

On the software front, the V70 is tipped to ship with Android 16-based OriginOS 6, bringing new UI tweaks and better customization options. This would make it one of the early adopters of Android 16, offering features like better battery optimization, dynamic theming, and improved app permissions.

Comparison

Here’s how the upcoming V70 could stack up against the Vivo V60 based on available information:

Market

In India, the Vivo V60 launched in August 2025, starting at ₹36,999 for the base variant. If Vivo follows a similar pricing strategy, the V70’s base model could start around the ₹39,000 to ₹42,000 range, depending on upgrades and variants.

The V60 was available in Auspicious Gold, Mist Grey, and Moonlit Blue. We may see new shades or updated finishes with the V70 to make it visually distinct.

The global availability, as suggested by IMDA and FCC certifications, indicates Vivo’s plan to take the V70 beyond just the Indian market, targeting Southeast Asia, Europe, and maybe even some parts of the Middle East.

Vivo hasn’t officially confirmed the launch date or detailed specs of the V70 yet, but based on certifications, the launch timeline seems close. If the expected specs hold true, the Vivo V70 will likely be a strong contender in the mid-premium smartphone segment with its high RAM, reliable chipset, and feature-rich software.
