Vivo has launched a new budget-friendly smartphone in China, the Y33t, shortly after announcing the Y78t. Let’s take a look at its specifications and features. The Vivo Y33t has a straight-edge mid-frame design and weighs 186 grams. It features a 6.56-inch LCD display with a 60Hz refresh rate and a dewdrop notch on the front. The display is good enough for casual use, but the lack of a higher refresh rate is a bit disappointing.
Powering the device is a MediaTek G85
processor, which is a mid-range chipset that is capable of handling most
day-to-day tasks. It is coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which is
a good amount for a budget-friendly smartphone. The device also supports 6GB of
virtual memory expansion and boots on Android 13-based OriginOS 3.
Regarding optics, the Y33t sports a
dual-rear camera system with a 13MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. For
selfies and video calls, you get an 8MP front-facing camera. Likewise, fueling the device is a 5000mAh battery
that supports 15W fast charging. The device also features a side-mounted
fingerprint sensor for biometrics.
The device is priced at 749 yuan
(US$ 110) and is available in two colors: Wild Green and Crystal
Purple. It is available for purchase in China via JD.com.
