Following the recent price cut on the Vivo Y15s, Vivo is also offering a discount on the Vivo Y1s. It’s an entry-level phone featuring the most barebones, essential features. And the latest price drop just made it even more affordable.
Vivo Y1s comes in a single 2GB+32GB storage variant. It was initially priced at Rs. 18,999. But Vivo knocked Rs. 1,000 off the price tag. And the phone now starts from Rs. 17,999.
Let’s talk about design first. Vivo Y1s is one of the most minimalistic smartphones you will find today. It has a solitary camera without an unsightly camera bump. The plastic comes in two glossy smooth duotone finishes, Olive Black and Aurora Blue. At 169g, the phone has a light footprint.
Turn the new Vivo Y1s mobile over to find its compact-ish 6.22” IPS LCD. It’s an unremarkable 720P screen with a notch bleeding from the top, and Vivo housed a 5MP front camera in this notch.
The 13MP rear camera features a small f/2.2 aperture. No advanced, sophisticated shooting modes are offered, however. Although the Y1s lacks fingerprint security, you can unlock your Y1s with 2D Face Access.
MediaTek Helio P35 — a four-year-old chip — is the engine inside the Vivo Y1s. A 4030 mAh battery powers it without any fast charging support. The storage is expandable. And outdated FunTouchOS 10 x Android 10 runs on this hardware.
