vivo Y15s

The Vivo Y15S is an entry-level smartphone that defies expectations, offering a premium feel at an affordable price point. With 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, this device performs admirably for its class. Design-wise, the phone features a plastic body with a wave green color that looks stunning, weighing in at 179 grams. The rectangular rear camera module and fingerprint sensor are notable highlights. While not ideal for one-handed use, the phone's size is perfectly balanced. Display quality is another strength of this device, boasting a 6.5-inch IPS display with a 720x1600 resolution. Media consumption is seamless, with vibrant colors and good contrast levels. The Mediatek P35 processor powers Android 11, although some may find it underwhelming considering the price point. The camera setup includes a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP macro lens, producing decent photos in well-lit conditions but struggling with dynamic range. A 5,000mAh battery provides long battery life, albeit slow charging speeds of around three hours to full charge. Ultimately, the Vivo Y15S is a capable device that feels like more than an entry-level smartphone. While it may be overpriced and feature a relatively modest processor, its premium build quality and respectable performance make it a solid choice for casual users and those looking for their first Vivo experience. However, some users might find the pricing too steep considering the chip used. A budget-friendly device that punches above its weight class, the Vivo Y15S is worth considering for its excellent battery life and premium build quality.

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.
