Vivo launched the entry-level Y1s in Cambodia back in August. Now, the company is likely to unveil the same device in India as a report from MySmartPrice says the Vivo might bring the device soon to grab a bite of its rivals’ share.

As per the report, Indian retail sources say that Vivo will launch the Vivo Y1s soon in the country. And just like every other Y series device, this will be primarily focused on the offline market. If you recall, some of the latest Y series devices in India include Vivo Y20, Y20i, and Vivo Y30. The company is also expected to launch a slightly premium Vivo Y51 from Pakistan to India.

And looks like Vivo Y1s will also join the bandwagon. That said, the report has also got hold of the specs of the upcoming Vivo Y1s and it’s exactly the same as the one that launched in Cambodia.

Vivo Y1s Specifications

First, the specification images shared from the retail sources show the Vivo is likely to target rivals like Samsung, Oppo. Precisely, it’s Vivo Y1s will compete against the likes of Samsung M01 and Oppo A1k. If you recall, the M01 launched in India back in June whereas the Oppo A1k launched even before in April 2019.

Anyway, the Vivo Y1s has a polycarbonate shell and comes in Olive Black and Aurora Blue colors. It features a 6.22-inch HD+(720x1520p) Halo Full view display with a NEG T2X-1 protection. Under the hood, it is powered by MediaTek Helio P35 SoC paired with 2GB RAM, 32GB storage. For cameras, you have a 13MP f/2.2 rear and a 5MP f/1.8 front camera.

Other features include 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, microSD up to 256GB, 4,030mAh battery, reverse charging, and 3.5mm headphone jack.

Vivo Y1s Expected Price India

Both the M01 and A1k retail for ₹7,499(3GB RAM/32GB Storage) and ₹7,999(2GB/32GB) respectively in India. Comparably, the Vivo Y1s in Cambodia launched with a price tag of $109 for the sole 2GB RAM, 32GB storage.

Thus, we can expect a similar price of ₹8,087 if not more in India. That said, Vivo Y1s runs Android 10 and you will get the company’s older Funtouch OS 10.5 UI on top.

While it was becoming very difficult to find an entry-level phone with a Qualcomm chipset, smartphone manufacturers finally started releasing handsets equipped with the latest and only last-generation Qualcomm chipset belonging to the entry-level Snapdragon 4xx series. We are talking about the Snapdragon 460, and this comparison includes the latest devices fueled by this mobile platform. Their names are Motorola Moto E7 Plus, Oppo A53, and Vivo Y20: if you need a Snapdragon 460-powered phone, there is no better option. So, let’s highlight their main differences.

Motorola Moto E7 Plus vs OPPO A53 vs Vivo Y20

Design

The most attractive design belongs to the OPPO A53. First of all, it features a punch-hole display instead of a waterdrop notch, unlike Vivo Y20 and Motorola Moto E7 Plus. Further, it has slightly more compact dimensions, even though its display has the same size as its rivals. The OPPO A53 is even thinner than Motorola Moto E7 Plus and Vivo Y20. If we exclude the OPPO A53, Vivo Y20 has a more convincing look than Motorola Moto E7 Plus, at least according to my tastes.

Display

Unfortunately, these handsets do not feature amazing displays. Given that they are entry-level phones, in order to cut costs, the manufacturers opted for a below-average HD+ panel with the IPS technology. So, you do not get a very high level of detail. Such displays are sufficient for most of the basic users, but you can get better panels while keeping your budget low. The OPPO A53 wins the comparison because unlike Vivo Y20 and Motorola Moto E7 Plus it sports a 90 Hz refresh rate: a feature that you can only find in mid-rangers and flagships. Also, note that the OPPO A53 features stereo speakers for a better audio experience.

Specs & Software

In each case, you get an octa-core Snapdragon 460 chipset running at a 1.8 GHz frequency. That is why we made this comparison, as we explained in the intro. Again, the OPPO A53 wins the comparison because it features up to 6 GB of RAM, while Motorola Moto E7 Plus and Vivo Y20 offer just 4 GB of RAM. Naturally, you will have to spend more if you need the configuration with 6 GB of RAM. But the RAM is not the only superior component: the OPPO A53 packs a faster UFS 2.1 internal storage instead of eMMC, and it has more storage (128 GB) in its high-end configuration. In each case, you get Android 10 out of the box, but Motorola Moto E7 Plus is the only one with a user interface close to stock Android.

Camera

The king of cameras in this trio is the Motorola Moto E7 Plus. It features a lower number of sensors, but its main camera is a lot better than the ones found on the OPPO A53 and the Vivo Y20. We are talking about a 48 MP sensor with a bright f/1.7 aperture which provides a better photo quality. Unfortunately, the Motorola Moto E7 Plus lacks a dedicated macro sensor, but you can click better photos. The best front camera belongs to the OPPO A53 with a 16 MP resolution.

Battery

Vivo Y20, Motorola Moto E7 Plus, and OPPO A53 all feature a big 5000 mAh battery and they provide a long battery life. The Vivo Y20 and Motorola Moto E7 Plus should last more because they have a standard refresh rate instead of a 90 Hz display. Given that they feature similar components, it is hard to guess which one lasts more in every scenario.

Price

Unfortunately, these three devices are not present in the global market. In Asia, they all sell for less than €150/$178. The OPPO A53 wins the comparison thanks to its 90 Hz display, stereo speakers, UFS 2.1 storage, and better front camera. But if the photo quality is your main concern, then you should go for the Motorola E7 Plus packing a pretty nice 48 MP sensor instead of those 13 MP entry-level sensors found on OPPO A53 and Vivo Y20.

Recently, OPPO launched A53 2020 as the world’s first smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 beating other phones which leaked with the same chipset.

For optics, they will come equipped with a 13MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth) triple camera setup aligned vertically on a rectangular module on the rear panel.
