Vivo’s Y-series is centered around budget-minded models, and it was joined by the Vivo Y30 earlier this month. The previous release was intended for the Malaysian market, and it’s now headed to other Asian markets – possibly including Pakistan.
91mobiles reports that the Vivo Y30 will be making a debut in India in the first week of June. If we extrapolate based on that, the phone might soon make its way into the Pakistani market as well – perhaps before June ends.
Let’s talk details. The Vivo Y30 manages to walk the line between a premium-esque build and a budget-friendly price. Around the front, you’ll find a punched display, with side-bezels that you can barely make out. The screen surrounded by these bezels stretches 6.47 inches across, producing an HD+ resolution and an impressive 90.7% screen-to-body ratio.
The back panel has a predictable yet striking aesthetic. Its edges and corners have been chafed smooth, to give you a 3D design and feel. You can pick from the muted Moonstone White (with its subtle wave-like pattern) or the more exciting Dazzle Blue (that features a sunburst aesthetic). A rounded rectangle-shaped camera housing occupies the top-left corner – flanked by a capacitive fingerprint reader on the right.
The AI quad-camera gives you a 13MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2MP super-Macro camera, and a 2MP bokeh sensor. As is typical of Vivo, the aperture of the main camera is minuscule -- coming in at f/2.2, so noise-free lowlight photography is off the table. The front-facing selfie camera has an 8MP sensor behind it.
The Vivo Y30 uses a MediaTek Helio P35 processor, in combination with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The configuration should suffice for everyday usage, and even some light gaming, thanks to Vivo’s Multi-Turbo 3.0 and Ultra Game mode. A massive 5,000 mAh battery and the latest Funtouch OS 10 power these internals.
Though it won’t be confirmed until an official announcement, WhatMobile expects Vivo Y30 to start at Rs. 36,999.
