Comparisons Featuring vivo Y3 (4GB+64GB)
Short Review
- The vivo Y3 features a sleek design with dimensions of 159.4 x 76.7 x 8.9 mm and a weight of 190g, available in Ink Blue and Jade Red.
- Its 6.35-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1544 pixels, delivering decent visuals at 268 ppi, although it lacks HDR support.
- Powered by the Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 chipset, the phone performs adequately for everyday tasks with its octa-core CPU and 4GB of RAM.
- The camera setup includes a 13 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 8 MP front camera handles selfies.
- The 5000mAh battery ensures extended usage, supported by 18W fast charging, though it does not offer wireless charging.
- Running on Android 9.0 with Funtouch 9.0, the software experience is user-friendly but may feel dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The absence of stereo speakers is noted, but the inclusion of a headphone jack is a plus.
- Overall, the vivo Y3 provides a solid combination of features for casual users.
