Vivo’s upcoming smartphone, the V2278A, was spotted on the Google Play Supported Devices list earlier this month with the Vivo Y78 moniker. The same device has now received certification from China’s regulatory body TENAA. It was also previously seen at China’s 3C certification platform earlier this month. The listing has revealed some key specifications of the device, giving a glimpse of what can be expected from this device.
The Vivo Y78 will come equipped with a
6.64-inch LCD FHD+ display with a resolution of 2388 x 1080 pixels. The device
is powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core SoC, which could probably be the Snapdragon
695 chipset. The Vivo Y78 will come in four different configurations with 6 GB,
8 GB, 12 GB, and 16GB RAM options and storage options of 128 GB, 256 GB, and
512 GB. Moreover, the smartphone also has a microSD card slot, which will
provide users with the option of expanding the storage capacity.
In terms of optics, the smartphone will
have an 8-megapixel front-facing camera and a 50-megapixel primary sensor with
a 2-megapixel secondary sensor on the rear camera module. The Y78 will run on
Android 13 OS out of the box, and it will feature the Origin OS UI on top.
The smartphone’s dimensions measure 164.05
x 76.17 x 7.98mm and weigh around 190 grams. Currently, there is no information
available on the pricing and availability of the Y78 5G. However, it is
expected that Vivo will make an official announcement soon and that it will
likely be available for purchase in May in China. In all likelihood, it will be
positioned below the Vivo Y78+, which debuted as the most advanced Y-series
Vivo phone last week. It is priced at 1,599 Yuan (US$ 231).
