Vivo is apparently working on a new Y series smartphone, which could be dubbed the Vivo Y18. This model was just spotted on the Google Play Console listing, revealing some of its key specifications.
To recall, the Chinese smartphone brand
unveiled the new Vivo Y03 earlier this week. But prior to its release, it was
spotted on certification platforms like NBTC with the V2332 model number. Now,
the Vivo Y18 has surfaced on the Google Play Console database with the V2333
model number. In other words, the Vivo Y18 is likely a rebadged version of the
Y03 for different markets.
If this is true, we can expect the
specifications of the two Y series smartphones to be similar. Back in February
2024, the Vivo Y18 was also spotted alongside the Y03 on the Bluetooth SIG
certification that revealed support for Bluetooth 5.0 standard. The Google Play
Console listing also offers us a look at the front and back of the Y18, which
showcases a design that resembles the Y03. Furthermore, the Vivo Y18 was listed
with the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC.
This chipset is paired with 6GB of RAM and
the device runs on the Android 14 OS out of the box. The RAM is one of the only
differences in specs since the Y03 launched with 4GB of RAM. Unfortunately,
this is all the information we have at the moment, so stay tuned for more
updates.
