In a move to strengthen its presence in the budget 5G segment, Vivo has launched two new smartphones in India – the Y28s and Y28e. These phones aim to bring 5G connectivity and impressive features to the budget segment.
Vivo Y28s and Vivo Y28e Specifications
Both models are powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 6100+ 5G chipset, ensuring smooth performance and future-proof connectivity. The phones sport 6.56-inch LCD displays with a 90Hz refresh rate, offering a fluid user experience. Vivo has prioritized durability, equipping both devices with IP64-rated protection against dust and water splashes.
The Y28s takes the lead in photography capabilities, featuring a 50-megapixel Sony IMX852 main sensor in its dual-camera setup. Its sibling, the Y28e, opts for a 13-megapixel primary camera. Both models include a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.
Battery life shouldn’t be a concern, as each phone packs a substantial 5,000mAh battery with 15W fast charging support. Vivo confidently backs these batteries with a four-year health guarantee.
Running on Funtouch OS 14 based on Android 14, the devices offer a modern software experience out of the box. The Y28s is available with up to 8GB of RAM, while both models provide various storage configurations to suit different needs.
