Earlier today, the Vivo Y28s 5G smartphone appeared in the Google Play Console listing. Now, tipster Paras Guglani has leaked the full specifications of the device.

The Y28s 5G will feature a 6.56-inch display with a 90Hz refresh rate. Although the resolution hasn’t been confirmed, it is likely similar to the Vivo Y28 which has an HD+ (720 x 1612) panel.

The camera setup seems pretty basic, with a 50MP main sensor on the rear, possibly paired with a secondary depth sensor. The front camera is an 8MP lens, decent enough for video calls and selfies.

The device will have a 5000mAh battery, though charging is limited to just 15W, which is slower than some competitors’ offerings.

The phone’s design includes flat frames and a rectangular camera module on the back. Vivo Y28s 5G will come in two colors: Mocha Brown and Twinkling Purple.

Vivo is working on a new Y-series smartphone. The upcoming offering has now been spotted on the Google Play Console certification site with model number V2346. The listing confirms the phone’s moniker. Previously, the Vivo Y28s 5G was spotted on Geekbench, BIS, and CQC. The latest development also gives us a look at the upcoming smartphone. 

Vivo Y28s 5G Google Play Console listing

As per the placeholder render on the Google Play Console certification, the Vivo Y28s 5G is seen with a centre-aligned punch-hole cutout display and thick bezels. The back panel has a rectangular camera island with curved corners. The smartphone is seen in a Pink color option with a gradient design. 

The Vivo Y28s 5G is listed with a MediaTek MT6835 system on chip on the Google Play Console certification. It comprises two A76 cores clocked at 2.2GHz and six A55 cores at 2GHz along with a Mali G57 GPU. This suggests that the device will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processor onboard. The upcoming offering will pack 4GB RAM and we can expect more options at launch. Software-wise, it will ship with Android 14 OS. 

As per the certification listing, the Vivo Y28s 5G will feature a display resolution of 720 x 1,612 pixels and a screen density of 300 dpi. This is everything that Google Play Console reveals about the device. 

The Geekbench listing revealed that the Vivo Y28s 5G will come with 8GB RAM. Meanwhile, the CQC certification mentioned support for 15W charging. Apart from this, the device was also spotted on NCC with a 5,000mAh battery unit and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. It has also bagged NBTC certification.

vivo Y28s 5G is set to hit the markets very soon. vivo will soon add another model to its entry-level device category. We have spotted that vivo is working on a model named vivo Y28s 5G, and this phone has been certified by CQC as well.

The successor of vivo Y28 is underway: vivo Y28s 5G

vivo Y28s 5G appeared in our database with the model number “V2346.” While full specifications remain as a mystery, the phone’s CQC certification confirms support for 15W charging. This matches the charging speed of its predecessor, the vivo Y28. It seems that vivo is not likely to offer more with new model compared to the already introduced vivo Y28. vivo Y28 falls within the brand’s Y series known for offering entry-level specs. The phone is priced at around ₹13,999 (approximately USD $167) in India.

vivo Y28s 5G was detected on the website of the China Quality Certification Centre (CQC). While the product name is not mentioned in the certification, we spotted the V2346 model number as vivo Y28s 5G in our database. We expect vivo Y28s 5G to debut in China first as the phone made its initial appearance in the CQC’s website first. However, its availability in other regions remains unclear. Actually it’s very early to talk about the phone’s availability.

As we previously indicated, we don’t expect the vivo Y28s 5G to bring significant improvements compared to the vivo Y28. Both of the phones have exact same charging speed. However, similar charging speed doesn’t necessarily mean they’re clones of each other. For instance, the vivo Y20 and Y20s have the same charging speed and battery capacity but different chipsets. We expect the upcoming Y28s 5G to share similar specs with the Y28, so we’ve included the Y28’s specs below.

vivo Y28 is an entry-level phone featuring the Dimensity 6020 chipset, with options for 4GB or 8GB of RAM, both paired with a 128GB UFS2.2 storage unit. The phone boasts a 90 Hz IPS LCD panel.

vivo Y28 has a dual-camera setup with a 50 MP main camera and a 2 MP depth camera. On the front, there’s an 8 MP selfie camera, but the phone supports recording up to 1080P 30FPS videos only. It packs a 5000 mAh battery and supports 15W wired charging.
