We have been hearing about the Vivo Y78+ since last month. The device initially appeared on TENAA revealing its battery capacity. Later, it was spotted on 3C along with its charging speed.

Now, the phone has made its appearance on Geekbench. Its latest online listing has disclosed the chipset present underneath it.

According to Geekbench, the upcoming Vivo Y78+ (aka Vivo Y78 Plus) with model number V2271A will be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC. The variant that was benchmarked has 12GB RAM. There could be other memory variants as well.

On the software front, the handset will boot Android 13. As far as performance is concerned, it is capable of scoring around 670 points and 1976 points in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.

As per previous reports, the device will be backed by a 5,000mAh battery. This giant cell will be able to charge at a maximum rate of 44W.
