Vivo India launches one more budget segmented smartphone Vivo Y69 in India. Unlike its most devices, Vivo Y69 will be available through offline retailers and E-Commerce websites like Amazon, Flipkart and Snapdeal. The device is priced INR 14,990 and comes in Champagne Gold and Matte Black shades.
The design is something similar to the already existing Vivo lineup. All metal unibody design with flushed antenna bands does look spectacular (just like most of the premium flagship smartphones). The rear-facing camera bump brings back memories from good-old iPhone 6s days.
The Vivo Y69 comes with the substandard 5.5 inch HD (720p) IPS LCD screen with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on the top. Under the hood, the 64 bit enabled MT6570 Octa-core processor powers up the device, coupled with 3 GB LPDDR3 RAM and 32 GB onboard storage. The device can accept micro SD card up to 256 GB without any trouble. In terms of connectivity, the device gets dual SIM card slots with 4G LTE and VoLte support on either of the slots.
Moving on to the much-hyped optics, the device features a 13 MP rear-facing camera with F/2.2 aperture and dual-tone LED flash, the front facing camera is a much superior one compared to this, as the 16 MP camera sensor from Samsung comes with F/2.0 aperture and single tone moonlight flash.
The 3000 mAh battery does not offer any kind of fast charging capability. The micro USB port found on the bottom centre of the device does offer USB OTG support. The device runs on latest version of the Android operating system (Android Nougat 7.0) with a custom skin on the top.
Here is the official product-statement from Kenny Zhang, CMO Vivo India.
“We are pleased to introduce the Y69 in the Y series product portfolio and are confident that its premium design and superior camera features will offer great value to customers at an ideal price point. With the festive season around the corner, we are committed to fulfilling our brand promise and adding a surprise element for our valued customers with innovative devices. The forthcoming quarter shows real promise, and we are confident that our latest offering will gather positive responses from the customers”.
