Call the top five Chinese big boys and you’ll definitely find Vivo in the mix. It’s not a hype, it’s just what they are. Phones like Vivo NEX S and Vivo NEX Dual Display have helped cement this pedigree in recent times. The latest smartphone on the OEM’s spreadsheet is the Vivo Y91, a smartphone with two chipset versions.
Destined for the mid-range sector of the market, the SoCs used were Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 and MediaTek Helio P22. Although the former was released two months ago, the MediaTek edition just got its own unveiling.
Without further ado, let’s get on with the perusal of the device.
Vivo Y91 Quick Review
It’s almost becoming an anomaly to not see phones with notches in this time dispensation. Yes, you figured it out: Y91 also sports a notch. But it’s notch is the dewdrop or teardrop notch, anyway you want to call it. With the notch taking a small portion of the 6.22-inch screen, approximately 83% is available for you to play around with.
On the other side, dual cameras graced with the presence of LED flash see to capture of fantastic images. The primary camera’s 13MP while the secondary 2MP shooter delivers depth-sensing information during portrait photography mode. Even selfie lovers can be rest assured that an 8MP front-facing camera will do justice to that addiction.
In the command room, either its Snapdragon or MediaTek that’s at work, 3GB is the complementary RAM. That isn’t the case with the internal memory though, as Snapdragon comes with 32GB storage while the other bags 64GB. Both can still be aggrandised to 256GB with the utilisation of an external memory.
Asides security, the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor can be used to capture images, take screenshots and perform other duties.
Segueing, the phone can act as a powerbank to charge other devices if an OTG cable is employed. For this capability, credits have to be given to the robustness of the battery – 4,030mAh.
