vivo Y15a

The Vivo Y15a is a budget phone released in November 2021, still available in the market. This review provides an impression of the device, highlighting its features and performance. The phone's design is sleek and modern, with a matte finish that resists fingerprints. It comes in two color options: wave green and mystic blue. The phone has a water drop notch display with a 720p resolution, which is acceptable for budget phones but not as sharp or colorful as higher-end devices. Performance-wise, the Vivo Y15a runs on an old Mediatek Helio P25 chip with 4GB of RAM, making it suitable for basic tasks like browsing and social media scrolling. However, gaming performance may be compromised, especially for demanding games like Call of Duty Mobile. The phone's battery life is strong, with a 5000mAh capacity that can last more than a day on light usage. The camera setup includes a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor, while the front camera has an 8MP resolution. Video recording capabilities are capped at 1080p for both rear and front cameras. The phone runs on FunTouch OS based on Android 12, but lacks customization options compared to higher-end devices. The Vivo Y15a has only one configuration: 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, priced at 7999 pesos. In comparison, the Y15s model with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage is available for 619 pesos. Overall, the Vivo Y15a offers decent performance and battery life but may not be suitable for demanding users or gamers due to its old processor and limited camera capabilities.

The device boasts a 6.64-inch IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate, making everything look smoother and more responsive. The display also has good viewing angles and color accuracy, although it's not perfect. Under the hood, the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6020 chipset, an 8GB RAM, and 256GB internal storage. While gaming performance is average, the phone can handle smooth performance. The device runs on Funtouch OS 13, based on Android 13, with a clean and simple interface. The Y36 5G's camera features a dual rear setup with a 50MP main camera and a 2MP depth sensor. While it takes decent photos in good lighting conditions, the quality is average. The front camera is a 16MP sensor that takes selfies with good clarity. The phone has a large 5000mAh battery that lasts for a full day of moderate usage, with fast charging capabilities. However, the build quality is plastic, and there's no ultra-wide lens or mono speaker. Overall, the Vivo Y36 5G offers a lot of value for its price, making it a good option for those looking for a budget-friendly smartphone with decent performance, long battery life, and 5G connectivity.
