The screen is 2.5D curved and brings a 6.55-inch IPS panel capped at a 720p resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate. Due to the 82.4% screen-to-body ratio, the bezels are relatively chunky.
For added privacy and security, the Vivo Y22 comes with a side-mounted thumbprint scanner. Hooked to a 5000mAh battery, it features 18W fast charging, 4GB + 4GB Extended RAM for lag-free multitasking, and bears 64Gigs of expandable storage.
