The vivo Y77t was launched today in China, and the company has already listed the device for sale. It comes with Dimensity 7020 chipset, a 50 MP main camera and a big battery, and if those specs look familiar, this is because this is exactly the same device as the vivo Y78 with only one difference - the base storage is 256 GB.
The screen of the Y77t is a 6.64” LCD with
Full HD+ resolution and up to 120 Hz refresh rate. There is a punch hole in the
center for the 8 MP camera, while the dual shooters on the back are 50 MP main
+ 2 MP. The battery is 5,000 mAh with 44W fast charging.
We are struggling to understand why vivo
would launch the same phone twice under two different names on the same market;
even the promo pages are identical. However, the vivo Y77t is listed as cheaper
than the vivo Y78, probably as a marketing trick to make people buy the Y77t
that is made to appear cheaper, especially when compared to the Y78+.
The vivo Y77t is available in Phoenix
Gold, Black, and Jade Green colors with two price tags - CNY 1,399 (US$ 190/€ 175)
for the 8/256 GB version and CNY 1,599 (US$ 220/€ 200) for the 12/256 GB. For
comparison, the Y78 price is CNY 300 (US$ 40) higher, so if you are a fan of this
device and want to import it from China on your own, we’d suggest going for the
Y77t.
