vivo has introduced a new wallet-friendly phone in China called the vivo Y6t.
The new vivo Y6t comes with a 6,500mAh battery, which is much larger than what you get on most budget smartphones. The Chinese smartphone brand also says the phone has passed a 5-star drop and shock test from SGS, so it should survive the usual accidental drops and bumps of daily life.
The screen is a 6.74-inch LCD panel with HD resolution with refresh rate of up to 120Hz. Under the hood, the phone runs on a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 processor with LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage.The software is OriginOS 6, which is based on Android 16 right out of the box.
As a budget handset, there’s not much to expect in terms of the camera. The back has just one camera sensor with 13 megapixels, autofocus, and an f/2.2 aperture. The front camera for selfies and video calls is 5 megapixels. Both cameras can shoot video at 1080p resolution.
Charging speed is quite slow for its battery capacity, as it only supports 15W wired charging. The good thing is it supports OTG reverse charging. That means you can plug another device into the phone, like a pair of earphones or a smartwatch, and the Y6t can share its battery power with that device.
The 6GB/128GB vivo Y6t model is priced CNY1,699(~Php15,000) while the 8GB/128GB and 6GB/256GB variant is CNY1,899(~Php16,700).
