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 Y22

The Vivo Y22 is an affordable smartphone that checks off all the boxes for everyday use. Priced at KES 19,999, this phone offers a Helio G85 chipset, 4GB RAM, and 64GB ROM. The sleek design features a boxy shape with curved corners and a fingerprint-proof plastic back cover. The device also boasts a large 6.55-inch HD+ display, making it perfect for media consumption. In terms of performance, the Y22 delivers smooth multitasking capabilities and can handle moderately demanding games. The Ultra Game Mode feature allows users to customize CPU and battery settings for optimal gaming experience. However, heavier games may benefit from the boost setting, which relies heavily on the GPU for smoother performance. The camera setup is impressive, with a 50MP main lens and a 2MP macro lens at the back, accompanied by an 8MP front camera. Photos taken using the Y22 are detailed and well-contrasted, with the 50MP UHD setting producing high-quality images. Macro shots are also good, although a bit grainy due to the low resolution of the macro lens. The battery life is impressive, lasting at least two days without charging, with the included 18-watt charger capable of filling up the phone halfway within an hour. Overall, the Vivo Y22 is a practical and affordable smartphone that's perfect for everyday use. It may not be ideal for heavy gaming or high-end camera needs, but it's a great option for those looking for a reliable device without breaking the bank.
