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 Y21T

The Vivo Y21T is the latest addition to the Y series lineup, boasting a 6.51-inch LCD screen, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset, and a massive 5,000mAh battery. As a budget gaming phone, it's designed for casual gaming enthusiasts. Design-wise, the Y21T has a slim body made of glossy polycarbonate material that changes colors when moved towards different angles. The device features a triple-camera setup at the top left corner, a slightly broad chin on the front, and a notch at the top with a call speaker. The phone's design looks premium but is prone to fingerprint smudges. The display is good for casual use, with vivid and accurate color reproduction. However, audio quality is compromised due to single downward-firing speakers that distort at maximum volume. Under the hood, the Y21T runs on Funtouch OS 12 based on Android 11, offering a customizable interface with some bloatware. The phone has a Jovi Home Ultra Game Mode and an eSport mode for enhanced gaming experience. Performance-wise, the device handles basic tasks well but stutters when switching apps. Gaming performance is decent, with minimal stutters in lighter games like Asphalt 9, but some details in graphics are grainy. Battery life is impressive, lasting a day or two on moderate usage, and charging takes about an hour and 30 minutes. The cameras are a triple setup of 50MP main, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth sensors, producing decent images with good lighting, but subpar low-light shots. Overall, the Vivo Y21T offers good battery life, trendy design, and average performance for an entry-level phone. While it's challenging to recommend at its price point of PHP 10,199, it's a solid daily driver if budget isn't an issue.
