A gap of ৳17,000. But before you weigh that up, there is a cheaper Vivo running the same processor and the same telephoto camera — and it is worth knowing about.
The Vivo V70 5G costs ৳72,999 in Bangladesh for the 8GB/256GB variant with official warranty, and ৳87,999 for 12GB/512GB. Grey market units of the base model run ৳55,999 to ৳62,999. It carries a ZEISS-tuned triple camera with a genuine 3x periscope telephoto, a 6500mAh battery with 90W charging, and IP68/IP69 sealing.
| Variant | Official | Unofficial |
|---|---|---|
| 8GB + 256GB | ৳72,999 | ৳55,999 – 62,999 |
| 12GB + 512GB | ৳87,999 | Limited stock |
৳15,000 for four extra gigabytes of RAM and a doubling of storage is steep, and there is no microSD slot to fall back on. Grey stock of the 12/512 is thin in Bangladesh, so if you want that configuration you are effectively committed to the official price. For most buyers the 8/256 is the sensible stop — UFS 4.1 storage here is fast enough that the phone never feels short of headroom.
The Vivo V60 sells officially at ৳61,499. That is ৳11,500 less. Look at what the two phones share.
Same processor — Snapdragon 7 Gen 4, the identical Qualcomm SM7750-AB in both. Same battery capacity at 6500mAh. Same 90W charging. Same IP68 and IP69 sealing. And critically, the same camera philosophy: a 50MP main with OIS, a 50MP 3x telephoto with OIS, and an 8MP ultrawide, all ZEISS-tuned.
What the extra ৳11,500 actually buys: a sharper 1.5K display instead of Full HD, a periscope-style telephoto rather than a standard one, faster UFS 4.1 storage, an ultrasonic fingerprint reader instead of an optical one, 4K60 video instead of 4K30, and Android 16 out of the box instead of Android 15.
Those are real improvements. They are not ৳11,500 of improvement for most people. If your budget is tight, the V60 gets you nearly the same phone.
Almost nothing at this price in Bangladesh has a real optical zoom lens. Most phones fake it by cropping the main sensor, which throws away detail the moment light drops.
The V70 has a 50MP periscope telephoto at 73mm with its own optical stabilisation and 3x optical zoom. That is a separate lens with separate glass. Portraits at 3x have proper compression and background separation, and distant subjects stay sharp rather than turning to mush.
If you photograph people, this is the single reason to choose this phone over anything else near ৳73,000. Samsung does not fit a telephoto on the Galaxy A57 at ৳71,999.
The screen glass is Schott Xensation Core, rated Mohs level 4. Most rivals at this money use Gorilla Glass Victus 2, which sits at Mohs 6 and resists scratching noticeably better. On a ৳73,000 phone that is a curious saving, and it means a screen protector is not optional here.
The second is software: four major Android upgrades. Samsung offers six on phones costing a third of this. If you keep phones five or six years, that gap matters more than any camera feature.
The grey gap runs ৳10,000 to ৳17,000 depending on the seller, which is wide enough to take seriously.
Vivo Bangladesh has been expanding its service network and now runs authorised centres across the divisional cities. That matters more than usual on this phone, because a periscope module is one of the more expensive components to replace and no third-party shop in Bashundhara City is going to have the part.
My read: buy official. Not because ৳17,000 is small, but because the specific thing you are paying extra for on this phone — the zoom lens — is the thing you least want to be uninsured against.

Most phones under a lakh use an optical in-display scanner, which shines a light through the glass and photographs your finger. It fails when your hands are wet or oily — a daily problem during monsoon, or after eating. The V70 uses an ultrasonic reader instead, which maps the ridges of your finger with sound waves and works through moisture. It is a small specification that nobody markets and that you will appreciate roughly twice a day for as long as you own the phone.
Vivo Bangladesh showrooms, Star Tech, Gadget & Gear and Pickaboo carry official units with warranty. At ৳72,999 on 0% EMI over twelve months that works out near ৳6,100 a month. Vivo runs launch and festival offers on the V series fairly regularly, so ask about cashback and exchange bonus before paying sticker.
Grey stock circulates through Bashundhara City and online sellers, with a wide ৳7,000 spread between shops on the base model — worth calling around. Verify the IMEI with BTRC before paying.
৳72,999 official for 8GB/256GB and ৳87,999 for 12GB/512GB. Grey market units of the base model run ৳55,999 to ৳62,999.
Yes. A 50MP periscope telephoto with 3x optical zoom and optical stabilisation, which is uncommon at this price in Bangladesh.
They share the Snapdragon 7 Gen 4 chipset, 6500mAh battery and 90W charging. The V70 adds a sharper 1.5K screen, a periscope telephoto, UFS 4.1 storage, an ultrasonic fingerprint reader and 4K60 video.
No. It charges at 90W over a cable and supports reverse wired charging, but there is no wireless charging.
Up to four major Android upgrades from its Android 16 launch.
