Tech Data has added to its portfolio of retail and consumer products by signing a distribution partnership with Vivo, a smartphone brand aiming at accessible and “human-centric” designs.
Vivo’s 6.51-inch Y20 Android smartphone was one of the best-selling devices of last year, it says, and is one of three Vivo devices available from Tech Data immediately – the others are the higher-specification Y70 and the X51 5G device.
James Reed (pictured), managing director, Endpoint Solutions, UK and Ireland, Tech Data, said: “Vivo can compete with the best in terms of usability, features, and value. We expect partners to respond positively to a proposition that offers an excellent set of mobile products, backed by the unrivalled service, support and resources that Tech Data offers to retailers and online resellers.”
