Vivo is apparently working on two new smartphone models from its popular Y series. The new devices include the new Vivo Y35+ and the Y35m+ models, which has been spotted on various certification websites that hint at their near launch.
The Y35+ and the Y35m+ models were spotted
on the Google Play supported device list as well as the 3C and TENAA
certification websites. Looking at these listings, we can see that the new
devices have been spotted carrying the V2279A model number. In other words,
there are two devices carrying the same model number but with different
monikers. The 3C listing revealed the battery and charging speed of this
device. It will be powered by a large 5,000mAh battery pack (4,900mAh rated)
and 18W fast charging support.
Furthermore, the device will also feature
a 50 megapixel primary camera on the rear, while the front houses an 8
megapixel selfie camera. Based on the certification, the upcoming smartphones
will measure 8.07mm in thickness and weigh 190 grams. The TENAA listing also
revealed that the V2279A model number will be a 5G enabled handset that that
will feature an octa core processor with a 2.2GHz frequency. Vivo had launched
the Y35m earlier this year with a Dimensity 700 SoC, so we can expect another
MediaTek chip.
This chipset will be paired with up to
16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. It is unclear why two devices with slightly
different names carry the same model number, but it likely refers to rebranding
in different market. Keep in mind that this report is based on just
certifications so stick around for more as we will be providing updates when
additional information is available regarding this matter.
