Back in May this year, Vivo introduced the
Vivo Y70s. The handset was the very first smartphone to come with Samsung’s
Exynos 880 chipset ensuring decent performance and 5G support. Now, the company
is gearing up to reveal a new smartphone dubbed Vivo Y70. The specifications
are now available on Weibo even though the device hasn’t been revealed yet.
The Vivo Y70 will boast the very same
Exynos 880 SoC found on its Y70s sibling. The Exynos 880 processor consists of
two ARM Cortex-A77 cores clocked at 2GHz and 6x ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked at
1.8GHz. For the graphical tasks, there is an ARM Mali-G76 MP5 GPU. This GPU
supports up to FullHD+ resolution. Like most of the modern mid-range phones,
the handset comes with an FHD+ panel (2,400 x 1,080 pixels) from JDI.
Unfortunately, it still has a standard 60Hz refresh rate screen. If you’re
curious about the size, this bit wasn’t mentioned.
Besides the processing power, this handset
will be available in two flavors with 6GB or 8GB of RAM. No matter the amount
of RAM available, the handset will be coupled with 128GB of Storage. Worth
noting that the Vivo Y70S does not have microSD card support. We’re not
expecting support for memory expansion on this variant as well.
The camera department is composed of a
Triple-camera array on the back. The primary camera is a 48MP Samsung GM1
shooter, there is also an 8MP Ultra-Wide module and a 2MP depth sensor. Worth
noting that this is the very same camera configuration as the Y70S. However,
Vivo is equipping the Vivo Y70 with a different selfie shooter – It’s an OV8856
sensor with 8MP resolution. According to the leaked specs sheet, this handset
features EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization).
The handset draws power from a 4,500mAh
battery with support for 18W fast-charging via a USB Type-C port. In
counterpart to its sibling, the Vivo Y70 lacks a stereo, speakers. Users are
limited to Mono Output. The interesting part of this leak is that it also
reveals the phone’s expected price. The Variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of
storage will retail at CNY 1,798 (US$ 254). The variant with 8GB of RAM and 128GB
of storage will set you back CNY 1,998 (US$ 283). Unfortunately, there still no
information regarding the launch date. However, considering this leak we can
pretty much state that the phone will go official this month.
