Chinese smartphone manufacturer Vivo has finally made the Vivo Y55s 5G smartphone official, confirming all the specs and features of the device. Information about the phone was leaked last week when Chinese telecommunications company China Telecom added the device to its databases. Of course, the Vivo Y55s is currently not available in India, but the company usually brings most of its devices to the country as well, so it should show up here at some point. The specs and features also suggest that the phone will have an affordable price tag. Here’s what we know so far.
Specifications and features of Vivo Y55s 5G
The highlight of the Vivo Y55s will probably be the fact that it has a 6000 mAh battery, which is the largest battery ever in a Vivo smartphone. It also has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset.
The device features a 6.58-inch Full HD LCD display and a waterdrop notch that will house an 8-megapixel front-facing camera. It also has two cameras on the back: the main camera is 50MP and f/1.8 aperture, while the secondary camera is 2MP and f/2.4 aperture. The second camera is for macro shots with a phone, and the company claims people will be able to capture a subject from up to 4 centimeters away.
Interestingly, the Vivo Y55s 5G does not feature cameras designed to improve portrait mode. The company also does not advertise any features of the AI camera (A). For the most part, they have become a staple for most smartphones.
On the other hand, the phone will run Vivo OriginOS 1.0, which is built on top of Android 11. It also supports 18W fast charging, which is likely to keep the huge 6,000mAh battery alive. It charges via a USB Type-C port and has a 3.5mm headphone jack for listening to music. The phone will be sold in blue, pink or black and will be priced at 1,699 yuan, which is approximately $265 when converted directly.
