Vivo, the world’s fifth-biggest smartphone manufacturer, ontinues to expand its product lineup. After revealing the camera features of the upcoming S18 and S18 Pro, the company has now introduced its new mid-range phone. Here are the specifications and price of the Vivo Y36i.
When we look at the features of the vivo
Y36, we can see that the company has positioned this model in the entry to
mid-range segment. The phone is powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 6020 processor.
This chipset, which has been previously seen in models like Honor Play 50 Plus
and vivo Y35+, is produced using 7nm manufacturing technology and utilizes the
Mali-G57 MC2 graphics processing unit. The mentioned processor is accompanied
by 4 GB of physical RAM and 4 GB of virtual RAM. The storage capacity is stated
to be 128 GB.
Looking at the screen of the vivo Y36, we
encounter a 6.56-inch panel. This IPS display has a resolution of 720 x 1612
pixels, a 90Hz screen refresh rate, and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. The
maximum brightness it reaches is 840 nits. The camera is one of the standout
features of this budget-friendly model.
Looking at the front, we see a 5-megapixel
camera positioned in a water drop shaped notch. On the back, there is a dual
arrangement consisting of a 13-megapixel main camera and an Anti-Stroboscopic
Sensor. This sensor is designed to detect the frequency of the light source,
preventing interference such as “water ripple” effects when capturing images of
screens or water surfaces.
Affordable phones are often criticized due
to their weak processors. However, this provides them a significant advantage
in terms of battery performance, and the vivo Y36i is no exception. The device
is equipped with a 5000 mAh battery with 15W charging support. The company
describes this as “fast charging,” but even 30W is no longer considered fast in
today’s standards. The phone is available in two different colors: purple and
gold. Its price is 1,199 yuan, which is approximately US$ 170.
