Comparisons Featuring vivo Y15
Short Review
- The vivo Y15 features a sleek design with dimensions of 159.4 x 76.8 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 190.5g, utilizing a glass front and plastic back.
- Its 6.35-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1544 pixels, providing decent visuals at approximately 268 ppi density, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset, paired with an octa-core CPU and 4GB of RAM, which handles everyday tasks adequately.
- The camera system includes a triple rear setup with a 13 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 16 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The device is powered by a robust 5000mAh battery, ensuring extended usage without fast charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 9.0 with Funtouch 9, the software experience is straightforward, though not the latest.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone includes a headphone jack, catering to users who prefer wired audio.
- Available in Aqua Blue and Burgundy Red, the vivo Y15 combines functional design with essential features for everyday use.
