Catering to a wide range of market, the Rivo smartphones will have seven series, each featuring a set of its own specifications, namely, Phantom, Rhythm, Advance, Classic, Jaguar, Neo and Sapphire.

The Rhythm smartphones are available through Advance Telecom with scratch cards ranging from PKR 200 to PKR 750.

While more and more people are resorting to the local smartphones for the affordable rates, those wishing to buy more expensive smartphones still buy from multinational brands.

The more expensive series by our local developers is yet to take over the high end market from high end popular brands. Whether Advance Telecom will be able to change the mindset of Pakistanis and convince them to buy the higher end phones locally too is yet to be seen.
