Vivo becomes third brand to exit Germany after Oppo, OnePlus; here’s why

Vivo has suspended the sale of its smartphones in Germany. The company confirmed the decision on its website with a banner notifying consumers that “Vivo products are currently not available in Germany”.

The decision was originally discovered by WinFuture, but follows a decision handed down by the Mannheim Regional Court in April, with two other Chinese phone brands – OnePlus and Oppo – having to implement a similar suspension.

As the publication notes, all three brands fall under BBK Electronics as subsidiaries, with the likes of Realme also a part of the company.
