vivo Y02s

The Vivo Y02s is an entry-level smartphone that boasts a 5000mAh battery, premium design, and construction at an affordable price. The phone comes with a USB-C cable, which is a nice addition, but lacks earphones. Design-wise, the Y02s looks like a premium phone, with a boxy shape, flat side panels, and a soft-touch material on the back. The phone's bezel has a ballroom rocker and power button on the right-hand side, a single bottom-firing speaker, and a 3.5mm audio jack. The camera system features a single rear 8MP camera with autofocus and a dual-camera setup, where the second lens is actually a flash disguise. The front camera fares better, producing sharp photos in indoor lighting. Performance-wise, the Y02s has decent performance for a budget phone, handling basic tasks like social media, watching videos, and switching between apps. However, it struggles with heavier apps, multitasking, and gaming, resulting in noticeable lags and slowdowns. The battery life is impressive, lasting up to 5 days of standby time and 9 hours of screen-on time. The phone charges quickly using its stock charging brick, but takes almost three hours to reach full charge. Overall, the Vivo Y02s excels in design and battery departments but falls short on performance. It's a suitable option for those looking for an affordable phone that can handle social media, selfies, and basic tasks, but not much more.

vivo Y16

The Vivo Y16 is a budget-friendly smartphone that packs a punch with its sleek design and impressive features. Priced at 8,499 pesos, this device boasts a beautiful Drizzling Gold colorway, complete with streaks that catch the light. The phone's measurements are similar to other vivo devices in its series, featuring a glass-like finish on the back. One of the standout features of the Vivo Y16 is its battery life. With a capacity of 5,000mAh and support for 10W fast charging and reverse charging, this device can easily last for two days with moderate use. The phone's performance is also impressive, thanks to its Mediatek Helio P35 octa-core processor. The Vivo Y16 features a 6.51-inch FullView HD+ display with a 720p resolution and an Eye Protection mode to reduce eye strain. However, the camera performance is somewhat lacking, especially in low-light conditions. The device's AI dual rear camera setup features a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel macro camera, while the front camera has a 5-megapixel lens. In terms of gaming performance, the Vivo Y16 delivers smooth results, thanks to its optimized software and hardware combination. However, the phone's multitasking capabilities could be improved with more RAM. Overall, the Vivo Y16 is an excellent budget smartphone that offers great value for money. Its stylish design, impressive battery life, and smooth performance make it a solid choice for those looking for a reliable device at an affordable price point.
