The Vivo Y36 will head out soon in two configurations, LTE and 5G-activated. While both versions share numerous similar specifications, the notable difference lies in the SoC (System-on-Chip), which will inevitably result in a performance disparity. Expect the official unveiling of the series on May 25th.
In a riveting twist before launch, the rumor mill has generously gifted the digital realm with a treasure trove of visuals, unveiling Y36 4G and 5G in full via live images, renders, and their meticulously designed packaging. Here’s an in-depth overview.
Vivo Y36 proudly showcases design elements reminiscent of its lineage, featuring a sleek frame adorned with sharp, non-curved side rails. Elevating the aesthetics and functionality, a raised camera platform elegantly accommodates a dual-sensor camera setup, where an LED flash seamlessly resides within the module.
Vivo Y36 presents users with a delightful color palette to choose from. The 4G version comes in Glitter Aqua + Meteor Black hues, while the 5G version offers Crystal Green + Mystic Black colorways. The packaging for both new Vivo budget mobiles will be standard full-size boxes with branding and product image.
As for the specifications, the internet speculates 8Gigs of RAM and 256Gigs of storage with Y36. For the 4G flavor of Y36, users can expect Snapdragon 680 SoC plugged into a 5000mAh cell. Recharging the phone will be a 44W kit with a USB type-C port on the other end.
Moreover, Y36 4G will bear 8GB of virtually expanded RAM, SD-card support, NFC kit, Audio booster, 4-layer cooling, and IP54 rating. In contrast to its predecessor, the device has a punch-hole cutout on its screen. It retains IPS LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate and FHD+ resolution.
The 5G version of Y36 utilizes a Dimensity 6050 core, which slightly takes in the edge in CPU and GPU performance. The series will break cover in Indonesia, which means it is global and has Funtouch OS x Android 13 inside. As for the series’ camera performance, the company has endowed both variants with 50MP primary shooters.
