The device in question is the brand’s latest budget grade handset, which packs some notable specs and features despite its affordable price tag. This announcement arrives mere days after the company unveiled the Vivo Y18e, so let’s check it out.

Vivo Y18 Specs

The Chinese brand’s new Y18 model sports a 6.56-inch LCD panel that offers HD+ resolution, TUV Rheinland certification, and 840 nits of peak brightness. While it comes with lower resolution, it makes up for detail with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate screen. Under the hood, it is equipped with the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC that is paired with up to 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
