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.

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.
