April 26, 2023

Vivo’s Y Series is a popular midrange lineup of phones. Now, the company has added a new member to the lineup, the Vivo Y78+. This mid-range device arrives with a Snapdragon 695 chip and a curved 120Hz AMOLED display. In this article, we’ll walk through the specs, features, and expected price of Vivo Y78+ in Nepal.

Vivo Y78+ Overview:

Design and Display

The key USP of the Vivo Y78 Plus is its design. The smartphone sports a premium outlook with a curved display and curved frame. The company calls it a 3D arc design with a 2.43mm narrow middle frame. Likewise, the rear panel is made up of a seven-layer nano-level coating to create a jade porcelain texture. Vivo flaunts this phone in three colors— Azure, Warm Sun Gold, and Moon Shadow.

Upfront, you get a curved 6.78-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This Full HD+ screen supports 1300nits peak brightness, 100% P3 color gamut, and 105% NTSC color gamut. On top of that, there is an in-display fingerprint sensor as well.

Performance

Under the hood, the Vivo Y78+ packs a Snapdragon 695 chipset. This 5G silicon from 2021 is based on a 6nm fabrication process and still packs a punch for a 2023 midrange phone. It features two Cortex-A78 performance cores clocked at 2.2GHz with six 1.7GHz Cortex-A55 performance cores backing them. For handling graphics, there is an Adreno 619 GPU.

Moreover, the chip is coupled with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. On the software side, the phone boots on OriginOS 3 based on Android 13 which also allows virtual RAM expansion by up to 8GB.

Camera

Coming to the optics, you’re looking at a dual camera setup, headlined by a 50MP primary shooter with OIS and a 2MP depth sensing unit. For videos, it can only shoot up to 1080p videos due to the chipset’s limitation—no 4K recording here. Meanwhile, you get an 8MP selfie snapper on the punch hole cutout of the display upfront.

Rest of the Specs

Moving on, the smartphone gets its juice from a 5000mAh battery, accompanied by a 44W fast charger. The connectivity options include 5G, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, and a USB Type-C port.
