Yesterday an unconfirmed report from Poland suggested that the local branch of vivo will withdraw from the country. Now GSMOnline.pl received the following statement from vivo (automatically translated):
Ongoing market analysis and selection of the appropriate business strategy in consultation with local representatives are key to the vivo brand. We are sorry to inform you that the authorized distributor of the brand in Poland has decided to stop the activity. Despite this, our customers can still rely on vivo’s robust products, comprehensive customer support and uninterrupted software updates.
Other local publications such as Telepolis.pl received the same statement.
For now, vivo.com/pl is still up and running and resellers are still selling its phones. It is not clear how long this situation will last and this probably means that the new vivo models will not be launched in Poland.
By the way, Oppo has sent a prior statement to GSMOnline.pl, which basically says “we’re not going anywhere”. The company even anticipates the launch of the Reno 10 series coming in July. Here is the statement (automatically translated):
We firmly deny the rumors about leaving Poland. The country is a very important market for us and we already have launches scheduled for the end of the year. In July, we will introduce the Reno 10 series and in the following months, IoT devices, including the new OPPO Air3 Pro headphones, and expand the ecosystem portfolio.
vivo, like Oppo, shut down its site in Germany some time ago. The Dutch branch of vivo is also offline, although Oppo continues. Both brands’ French sites are still operational despite reports of problems on the horizon.
