If you can’t wait for the arrival of
the Redmi 8, then you may want to check out the new Vivo Y11 (2019) which
shares more than one feature with the Redmi but misses out on others.
The Vivo Y11 (2019) has a 6.35-inch HD+ display with
a waterdrop notch. It is powered by the Snapdragon 439 processor, the same SoC
inside the Redmi 8. There is 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. There are two cameras on the back
of the phone – a 13MP f/2.2 primary camera and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. You
also get a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and an 8MP selfie camera. The
camera has a Pro mode, as well as time-lapse, panorama, slow motion, voice
capture, HDR, and AI beauty.
The Vivo Y11 (2019) has dual SIM support, an audio
jack, 2.4GHz WiFi, OTG support, and an FM radio. It has a 5000mAh battery but
you get 10W charging via a MicroUSB port. Vivo is shipping it with Funtouch OS
9.1 based on Android Pie. The phone weighs 190.5 grams and measures 159.3 x
76.77 x 8.92 millimeters.
Vivo says it will be available for purchase starting
