vivo announced the Dimensity 700-powered Y75 5G earlier this year and followed up with the Helio G96-powered Y75 4G a few months later. Today, the company expanded its Y series with the unveiling of the Y75s, having the Dimensity 700 chip at the helm.
The MediaTek SoC is paired with up to 12GB
RAM, and the smartphone has 256GB of storage onboard with the option to expand
it up to 1TB via a microSD card. On the software front, you get OriginOS Ocean
based on the dated Android 11 instead of Android 12 (we aren't expecting
Android 13 out of the box).
The vivo Y75s is built around a 6.58"
FullHD+ LCD having a 60Hz refresh rate, 120Hz touch sampling rate, and a pixel
density of 401ppi. The panel also has a notch for the 8MP selfie camera, with
the 64MP primary camera placed inside a rectangular island on the rear. It's
joined by an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro unit.
The rest of the vivo Y75s' highlights
include a side-mounted fingerprint reader, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and USB-C.
The smartphone also has 5G connectivity and packs a 5,000 mAh battery with 18W
charging. If all this sounds familiar, that's because the vivo Y75s is a
version of the Y72 5G (not the Indian variant) launched last March with a 16MP
selfie camera.
The vivo Y75s comes in two colors and
memory options - 8GB/256GB and 12GB/256GB. The former is priced at CNY 1,899
(US$ 272/€ 274) while the latter costs CNY 2,199 (US$ 315/€ 318). Both models are listed
on vivo's official Chinese website, but there's no word on their sale date.
