Vivo India has released a new phone without any fanfare. The Vivo Y71 packs mid-range specs and a full-screen display but may have a tough time selling in India.

The design of the Vivo Y71 is not one we haven’t seen before. It is an all-metal design with glass on the front. The front bezels are significantly smaller and the back is plain except for a single camera, LED flash, and the manufacturer’s name.

The Vivo Y71 has a 5.99” with a 720 x 1440 resolution. It is powered by a Snapdragon 450 processor paired with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage.

There is a single 13MP rear camera with LED flash and a 5MP front-facing camera. It doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner but there is Face Unlock. This is the second mid-range phone in recent weeks that doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner. The first is the OPPO A1.

The Vivo Y71 runs Android Oreo out of the box and packs a 3360mAh battery. It is priced at Rs. 10,990 (~$168) and should be available for purchase soon.

The price of the Vivo Y71 is high compared to other phones. At Rs. 10,999 (~$169) you can purchase the Redmi 5 which has the same processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB of storage, and a fingerprint scanner.

Vivo Y71 and Y71 A were spotted on the website of the Chinese Telecoms Regulatory Agency (TENAA) about two weeks back. The devices were certified but the page didn’t include the pictures of the models. The Vivo Y71 and Y71A pictures have now been uploaded on TENAA, revealing what both devices truly look like.

From the pictures, the Vivo Y71 is no different from the Y71A in terms of the design. The Y71A may likely be a network variant of the Y71 for China Mobile as even the specifications are no different. A render of the Y71A showing the device from all angle was said to have been leaked on China Mobile’s website fueling speculation the Y71A is destined for the Chinese carrier. Both models sport a 5.99-inch 720 x 1440 display. There is 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage that can be expanded via a MicroSD card slot. A 1.4GHz quad-core processor is at the helm of affairs.

The Vivo Y71 and Y71A also feature a single 13MP rear camera and a 5MP front-facing camera. Both models also pack a 3285mAh battery and run Android 8.1 Oreo. Their dimensions are also similar at 155.87 × 75.74 × 7.8 (mm) and weighing in at 150g.

The Vivo Y71 and Y71A will come in Rose Gold according to TENAA but the pictures we have are of the Black variants.
