Just a week after it was first revealed in Vietnam
and Thailand, we discovered that the Vivo Y19 will be available in the
Philippines soon as well. In fact, a Vivo PH promoter posted on Facebook that the said device
will be on pre-order from November 15 to 22, 2019. The price hasn't been
announced yet, but the post revealed that those who will pre-order will get a
"Vivo Neck Pillow" freebie.
As a quick recap, the Vivo Y19 is a promising
entry-level smartphone packed with a big 6.5-inch IPS screen, 90.3 percent
screen-to-body ratio, and a halo notch. Inside, it is powered by the12nm
2.0GHz 64-bit Helio P65 octa-core processor, 6GB RAM, 128GB expandable storage,
5,000mAh battery with micro USB 18W fast charging. You will also find a 16MP + 8MP +
2MP triple-camera setup and a 16MP f/2.0 selfie shooter.
To recall, one special feature of its camera is the
Pose Master that uses AI to intelligently select your best pose for a photo.
