The vivo Y81 has been popping up in some
certification websites for the last couple of weeks until it finally launched
today in Taiwan. The mid-range device from vivo features almost the same
hardware as the launched in May vivo Y83 but with slightly different memory
configuration.
The Y81 comes with the well-known Helio P22 SoC with
an octa-core CPU clocked at 2.0 GHz paired with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal
storage whereas the Y83 boasts 4GB of RAM and 64GB of flash storage. Both
phones support microSD expansion, though.
The handset comes with 6.22-inch, 19:9 HD+ display
with a 720 x 1520 pixels resolution and as you've probably noticed - a notch on
the top. The latter houses a 5MP f/2.2 sensor supporting the face unlock
feature, although the back of the phone still has a fingerprint reader.
Speaking of the back, it has a 13MP unit with f/2.2 aperture.
The device is powered by a 3,260 mAh battery and
runs Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box with FunTouch OS 4.0 on top. It is already
available in Taiwan for TWD 4,990,000, which is roughly US$ 219 but no word on
international availability for now. Since it has passed the Eurasian Economic
Commision (EEC) certification in Europe, we could see the new Y81 as on the Old
Continent as well.
