Comparisons Featuring vivo Y53
Short Review
- The vivo Y53 features a compact design with dimensions of 144.2 x 71.4 x 7.6 mm and a weight of 137g, utilizing Gorilla Glass 3 on the front and a plastic back and frame.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 220 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset with a quad-core CPU clocked at 1.4 GHz and 2GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with an f/2.0 aperture, capable of recording video at 720p, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- The battery capacity is 2500 mAh, providing moderate usage time without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 6 (Marshmallow) with Funtouch 3, the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Available colors are Crown Gold and Matte Black, offering limited aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the vivo Y53 is a straightforward smartphone suitable for essential functions.
