Comparisons Featuring vivo Y55L (vivo 1603)

Short Review

  • The vivo Y55L features a sleek design with dimensions of 147.9 x 72.9 x 7.5 mm and a weight of 142 grams, available in Gold and Gray colors.
  • It sports a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 282 ppi.
  • Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset, an octa-core CPU, and 2GB of RAM, which supports basic multitasking and app usage.
  • The camera setup includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps and a 5 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
  • The battery capacity stands at 2650 mAh, supporting standard charging without wireless options.
  • Running on Android 6 (Marshmallow) with Funtouch 2.6, the software experience is straightforward but may feel dated.
