It is not unusual for a phone to be available in two different chipset versions. Samsung has been offering its flagship phones in Exynos and Snapdragon variants for years. However, this tradition is not common among other manufacturers, which is why when it happens, it is notable. Vivo has decided to jump on this trend with its budget mid-range 5G phone, the Vivo Y52s.

The Vivo Y52s was launched in December 2020 and it had a MediaTek Dimensity 720 processor under its hood. The manufacturer has now quietly announced a new version of the phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 5G processor.

Officially called the Vivo Y52s (t1 edition), the phone has the same specifications as the one that launched back in December save for the MediaTek processor that has now been replaced with a Qualcomm one.

The Vivo Y52s (t1 edition) is priced at ¥1999 (~$309) and has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There is also an 8GB RAM + 128GB version but it is not available for purchase yet and its price is not known.

The Dimensity 720 version which was launched in 6GB and 8GB RAM variants with 128GB of storage is now available in a new 8GB RAM + 256GB version for the same price mentioned above.

The two versions of the phone have a 6.58-inch LCD display with a waterdrop notch, a 90Hz refresh rate, and a 180Hz touch sampling rate. The display has a DCI-P3 color gamut and is HDR10 certified.

On the back of the Vivo Y52s is a 48MP main camera paired with a 2MP depth sensor. The selfie camera is an 8MP camera and it has a night mode like the rear. The phone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, an audio jack, and a 5000mAh battery that supports 18W fast charging. Both phones are available in Coral Sea, Monet, and Titanium Gray, however, the Coral Sea variant of the Snapdragon version is not yet in stock. You can grab the phone on Jingdong.

Vivo is reportedly working on the launch of a new mid-range phone in China. A handset named Vivo Y52 emerged in the product library of China Telecom.

The TENAA appearance of the phone is yet to reveal the specifications of the Vivo Y52s. The Vivo Y52s listing at China Telecom has revealed it will release in the home market on Dec. 10 with a pricing of 1,998 Yuan (~$305).

Last month, TENAA had certified a Vivo phone with a V2054A model number. Its dimensions and specs (except the main camera) are identical to the Vivo Y52s. Hence, it appears Y52s could be a network variant of V2054A, which suggests that both phones may carry the same moniker.
