Gamers on a budget can rejoice as vivo launches the Y03, its latest entry into the competitive market of gaming smartphones that won’t empty your wallet. Priced starting at just Php 3,999, the Y03 is vivo’s bid to capture the hearts of mobile gamers who are looking for performance without the premium price tag.
Despite its affordability, the vivo Y03 doesn’t skimp on features that cater to the gaming community. Let’s dive into what makes the Y03 a compelling choice for those seeking an economical yet capable gaming device.
The vivo Y03 is equipped with 4GB of RAM, which, thanks to vivo’s extended RAM technology, can effectively provide up to 8GB of total RAM by utilizing unused storage space. This ensures smoother multitasking and gameplay. In addition, with 128GB of onboard storage expandable to 1TB, there’s ample room for all your gaming apps and media files.

Gamers will appreciate the Ultra Game Mode and Multi-Turbo 5.5 features that the Y03 offers. These enhancements focus on reducing interruptions from calls and optimizing the smartphone’s performance, ensuring that gaming sessions remain immersive and responsive.
Under the hood, the vivo Y03 is powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset, augmented by Hyper Engine Gaming Technology. This combination promises consistent and extended gaming performance, allowing for lengthy playtimes without significant drops in efficiency.
Visuals are another strong suit of the Y03, thanks to its 90Hz sunlight display. This feature not only provides smooth frame rates but also ensures clear visibility even in bright conditions, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor gaming.

Sound quality often plays second fiddle in budget phones, but not with the Y03. It boasts a 150% Audio Booster, enhancing the volume to deliver a richer and more immersive audio experience during gameplay.
Lastly, the Y03’s IP54 rating signifies a degree of dust and water resistance, adding a layer of durability and peace of mind for users who frequently game on the move.
Available in two colors, Gem Green and Space Black, the vivo Y03 sets a new benchmark for affordable gaming smartphones. The 64GB model is priced at Php3,999, while the more spacious 128GB variant costs Php4,999.
Prospective buyers can find the vivo Y03 at all vivo concept stores, kiosks, and online platforms including the official vivo website, Shopee, and Lazada.
