The phone has a good quality that doesn't look cheap, despite being secondhand.
The battery life is great, comparable to the reviewer's previous phone.
The camera works well for both photo and video quality.
Face recognition and fingerprint scanner are not available, but regular unlock methods work fine.
The phone has a premium feel to it, especially when opened up to reveal its internal components.
The screen resolution is 480p, which might be a concern for those who use higher resolutions, but the video quality is still clear.
The price point of PHP 1420 (approximately USD 28) with an additional discount from Shopify makes it a great value for money.

Weaknesses

The phone has an older version of Android (7.0), which might be outdated by modern standards.
No tempered glass is provided, but the reviewer had to purchase one separately.
The sound quality through the speakers and microphone is not bad, but not exceptional either.

vivo Y51A

The Vivo Y51A is a reliable budget smartphone that offers good value for its price. I recently purchased the phone on Shopify for PHP 1420, which is a significant discount from the original price of PHP 1500. In terms of hardware, the phone features a decent processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. The camera works well, although it doesn't have any additional features like fingerprint scanning or face recognition. However, it's surprising that despite being a second-hand phone, it looks premium and doesn't feel cheap. The phone runs on Android 7 with a Snapdragon processor, which is still sufficient for everyday use. I was pleased to find that the battery life is similar to my previous phone, and the camera works well. The speaker quality is decent but not loud enough to be considered top-notch. Overall, the Vivo Y51A is a good option for those looking for an affordable smartphone with basic features. Its price point makes it an attractive choice for budget-conscious buyers. I was also pleased to find that I didn't encounter any major issues during my initial use of the phone. In conclusion, the Vivo Y51A is a reliable and feature-packed budget smartphone that's worth considering for those on a tight budget.

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.
