Buying a new smartphone could soon put extra pressure on your budget. Prices of several popular models from Vivo and iQOO are expected to increase in India starting March 1, according to a recent tip-off.

A well-known tipster has suggested that multiple storage variants of the Vivo T4 series and iQOO Z10 series may become more expensive by ₹1,500 to ₹2,500. While neither brand has officially announced a price revision yet, the hike is reportedly linked to rising memory and component costs.
