Vivo’s latest midrange camera phone, the Y33s, has made its way to the Philippines.
Introduced abroad back in August, the Vivo Y33S is the product of the latest smartphone trend that puts an ultra-sharp 50-megapixel main camera on a budget device. No ultra-wide on these devices, though.
It also boasts the latest virtual RAM expansion technology, which adds 4GB of virtual memory on its 8GB physical one by borrowing from the storage for an extra performance boost.
Everything else looks pretty decent for a midrange device. It has a game-centric Helio G80 processor, 128GB of RAM, a 5,000mAh battery, 18W fast charging, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
As Vivo prepares for the X70 series’ local launch, we’re only seeing the Vivo Y33s subtly being rolled out in stores and retailers across the Philippines, revealing its price of Php12,999.
