Vivo has added a new affordable model to its portfolio in China: the Vivo Y500i.
The new Vivo model joins the series, which already has the vanilla Vivo Y500 and Vivo Y500 Pro variants. Yet, it serves as an inexpensive option, boasting a base price of CN¥1499 ($210).
Despite its price, it is fairly impressive in several sections, including its Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip. It even features a 120Hz display, a 50MP main camera, a huge 7200mAh battery with 44W charging support, and even water and dust protection ratings.
The handheld comes in Galaxy Silver, Obsidian Black, and Phoenix Gold colorways. Its configurations include 8GB/128GB (CN¥1499), 8GB/256GB (CN¥1799), 8GB/512GB (CN¥1999), 12GB/256GB (CN¥1999), and 12GB/512GB (CN¥2199).
