vivo has introduced a new budget phone to its Y-series called vivo Y77 5G. The device brings the usual combination of mid-range specifications with a huge battery keeping the lights on. Late last year, the company launched the Y76s and Y76 5G.
The new vivo Y77 5G is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 810 SoC paired with up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of Internal Storage. Users also gets the virtual RAM feature with up to 4 GB of expansion, and a micro SD card slot for further storage expansion. In terms of software, the device runs Funtouch OS 12 with Android 12 as the underlying version.
The specifications come around a 6.58-inch LCD screen with a Full HD+ resolution of 2,408 x 1,080 pixels. Unfortunately, the panel refreshes at the outdated 60 Hz.
The device has a waterdrop notch cutout for the 16 MP selfie shooter with support for face unlocking. There is also a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Moving around to the back, the device has a single 50 MP main camera and a 2 MP macro shooter.
The device is 8.25 thick and weighs 194 grams. It draws its powers from a huge 5,000 mAh battery with basic 18 W charging.
