Founded by Shen Wei in 2009, Vivo is one of the sub-brands of BBK Electronics, just like Oppo, OnePlus, Realme and iQOO. Vivo, which has recently come to the fore with the S16 and its powerful older brother S16 Pro, powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 processor, which has undergone 7nm production process, this time introduced two new phone models positioned between the entry and the middle segment. However, contrary to what we normally see, there is a strange situation here; Although these two models, Y53t and Y35m, are the same in terms of features, the company will sell one at a more affordable price.
Introducing Vivo Y53t and Y35m!
As a matter of fact, the most important difference between both phones is only their prices. Strangely enough, Vivo has separated two identical phones when it comes to pricing and storage options. Let’s take a closer look at the features of the more affordable Vivo Y53t and, in context, the other model Y35m!
The 6.51-inch 1600×720 pixel HD+ resolution LCD screen has a waterdrop notch. This notch houses the 5MP resolution selfie camera.
Vivo Y53t is powered by the Dimensity 700 processor, which has a 7 nanometer fabrication architecture positioned by MediaTek for the entry-mid segment, and contains two 2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 and six 2 GHz Cortex-A55 cores. The phone, which comes with 4/6 GB LPDDR4x RAM and 128 GB UFS 2.2 storage options, does not offer 8GB RAM options to users, unlike the Y35m.
The phone, which has two camera sensors on the back, 13MP wide and 2MP macro, connects the world with 5G, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.1. At the same time, Y53t has dual support, headphone jack, edge-mounted fingerprint reader and USB Type-C ports. The phone, which will meet the energy needs of a 5,000 mAh battery with 15W fast charging support, will be presented to users with Android 13-based OriginOS software.
The version of the phone offering 128GB storage in addition to 4GB RAM was introduced for $145, while the version with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage was introduced for $160. The Y35m, the 8GB RAM version of the Y53t, has a price tag of $246.
