In the last few days, we found out that there is an old phone which is still popular among Gizmochina’s readers: the Vivo V15. Despite this handset making its debut almost three years ago, there are a lot of people still interested in this device for various reasons. But does it still make sense to buy such a phone in 2021 or it is passed and you should opt for something more recent? In order to answer this question, we decided to compare the Vivo V15 with one of the most recent phones sold in the same price range: the Vivo Y50t. This handset hitten the shelves earlier this month with midrange specifications and no 5G in order to provide a very affordable price. Here is a comparison between the specifications of the Vivo V15 and the Vivo Y50t.

8 MP f/2.0 front camera
BATTERY 4000 mAh, fast charging 4500 mAh, fast charging 18W
ADDITIONAL FEATURES Dual SIM slot Dual SIM slot

Design

The design of the Vivo V15 looks very suggestive for two main reasons: the first is the fact that it provides a full-screen experience, without a notch and without any hole, thanks to the presence of a motorized pop-up camera. The second is the very high screen to body ratio, with very narrow bezels around the display. This phone is entirely built of plastic with the exception of the front glass, but it still looks premium. Further, its display is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. The design of the Vivo Y50t may look more modern on the rear side due to the camera module, but the front panel is less impressive. That is why I would go for the Vivo V15.

 

Display

On the paper, the displays of the Vivo V15 and the Vivo Y50t have the same main specifications, with the exception of the Gorilla Glass 5 protection which is present only on the V15 and the punch hole of the Vivo Y50t. They are IPS LCD panels with a diagonal of 6.53 inches and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and they have a standard refresh rate. We are talking about average displays in the mid/low-end segment, nothing special but nothing disappointing. The Vivo V15 has a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, while the fingerprint scanner of the Vivo Y50t is side-mounted.

 

Hardware/Software

There is a big difference between the hardware of these two handsets. The Vivo V15 is powered by the MediaTek Helio P70 chipset, while the Vivo Y50t has the Snapdragon 720G. The Snapdragon 720G is much more powerful than the Helio P70 and it is built with an 8 nm production process, which means the energy consumption is lower. Further, the Vivo Y50t has 8 GB of RAM, while the Vivo V15 stops at 6 GB. Last but not least, the internal storage of the Vivo Y50t is UFS 2.1, while the Vivo V15 has an eMMC storage. Even when it comes to the software the Vivo Y50t is more recommended: it ships with Android 10 and OriginOS out of the box, while the Vivo V15 is still based on Android 9 Pie.

 

Camera

If you need a superior rear camera, then you should go for the Vivo Y50t: it has a better 48 MP main sensor. On the other hand, the Vivo V15 has better secondary sensors: an 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 5 MP depth sensor, while the Vivo V15 provides two useless 2 MP cameras for macros and depth. Another advantage of the Vivo V15 is its amazing 32 MP front camera, while the Y50t has a low-end 8 MP snapper.

 

Battery

The Vivo Y50t is equipped with a bigger 4500 mAh battery which, alongside the 8 nm processor providing a lower energy consumption, allows for longer battery life.

 

Vivo V15 vs Vivo Y50t: Price

Despite it being released in 2019, the Vivo V15 is still a great phone nowadays. Its original price was €310/$351, but now the street prices are a lot more affordable and close to the Vivo Y50t selling for about €190/$215. The Vivo Y50t wins the comparison because of its better chipset, bigger battery, updated software, but the Vivo V15 is a better phone for selfies and includes an ultrawide camera and a better design among its pros.

But while browsing the popular phones among our readers, we noticed that there are two old devices still popular nowadays: the Vivo V15 and the Vivo V15 Pro.

This comparison will highlight the differences between the specifications of the Vivo V15 and the Vivo V15 Pro.

Design

Despite the Vivo V15 and the Vivo V15 Pro having modern and original designs, they are not built with premium materials. They are made of polycarbonate, with a plastic back and a plastic frame. But the Vivo V15 features the Gorilla Glass 5 protection for the display which makes it resistant. The best element in the design of these devices is the pop-up camera: thanks to a motorized mechanism, these devices have borderless displays without a notch or holes. The displays are full-screen with no interruptions and they also come with two very high screen to body ratios (more than 85 percent). The screen to body ratios of these phones are even higher than a lot of today’s mid-range phones.

 

Display

The Vivo V15 is equipped with an IPS display sporting a diagonal of 6.53 inches and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, as well as a standard refresh rate and the Gorilla Glass 5 protection by Corning. The Vivo V15 Pro has a smaller display with a diagonal of 6.39 inches, but the image quality is higher because it is a Super AMOLED panel with more brilliant colors and deeper blacks. Further, the Pro variant comes with an in-display fingerprint reader, while the fingerprint scanner of the vanilla version is rear-mounted like some of today’s entry-level phones. As already said above, the displays do not have a notch nor holes thanks to the pop-up camera, and, despite pop-up cameras are not a trend anymore, the full-screen experience is still a requested element. Indeed, several smartphone manufacturers are looking to provide a full-screen experience once again with under-display cameras.

 

Hardware/Software

The hardware department of the Vivo V15 is still superior to the ones of the current entry-level phones. The processor is the Helio G70 and it is paired with 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage. The Vivo V15 Pro can still be considered a midrange thanks to a Snapdragon 675 chipset, up to 8 GB of RAM, and up to 128 GB of internal storage. With the Vivo V15 Pro, you get higher CPU and GPU performance. The phones ship with Android 9 Pie out of the box and this is the biggest con because their software support period is ended. Further, they lack 5G connectivity, but there are still a lot of best-selling phones without 5G out there.

 

Camera

The Vivo V15 and the Vivo V15 Pro are equipped with the same amazing front camera: a 32 MP selfie snapper with an f/2.0 focal aperture. This front camera is still at the level of the current front camera you can find on midrange phones, that is why these devices are still great selfie phones. With the Vivo V15 Pro, you always get a very good rear camera department with a 48 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 5 MP depth sensor. It is close to nowadays’ mid-rangers, while the Vivo V15 can be positioned in the middle between low-end and mid-range phones in terms of camera performance.

 

Battery

The battery capacity of the Vivo V15 is actually below-average with its 3700 mAh, while you can still find several midrange phones with a 4000 mAh battery like the Vivo V15 Pro. Both the handsets feature fast charging, but it is capped at 18W.

 

Vivo V15 vs Vivo V15 Pro: Price

The original starting prices of Vivo V15 and V15 Pro are about €310/$347 and €360/$404, respectively. But now they are a lot more affordable. At the end of the day, we can say that both these phones are superior to nowadays’ entry-level devices, and the Pro variant is still a great device to use today, even in the midrange segment. Do they still make sense? If prices are in line with their current rivals, they do.

  • Gorilla Glass 5
