Vivo Y78 (t1), Vivo Y78m (t1) launched with downgraded chip and display

Vivo has quietly released two new budget smartphones in China. They are officially called Vivo Y78 (t1) and Vivo Y78m (t1).

For the unaware, Vivo t1 edition phones are basically the same as the original models but with a different chipset. Historically, these devices have had downgraded chips and that’s the case with these latest products as well.

The Vivo Y78 and the Vivo Y78m were originally launched in China in May and August, respectively. These two handsets are one and the same offered in different colors at the same price.

Also, the Y78m is only sold in a single 12GB + 256GB variant. Whereas, the Y78 also comes in 8GB + 128GB and 8GB + 256GB versions.

Now, months later, the brand has debuted the t1 edition of these phones. The newer models again share everything, except colors. In fact, they only come in a single 12GB + 256GB memory configuration this time around priced at ¥1,999.

But the latest handsets provide downgraded specs compared to the originals. They arrive with a much less powerful chip and a slower display.

The original Vivo Y78 and Vivo Y78m are powered by MediaTek Dimensity 7020 SoC, which was previously known as Dimensity 930. Further, their 6.64-inch centered punch-hole LCD screen can switch between 60Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz refresh rates.

But the newer Vivo Y78 (t1) and Vivo Y78m (t1) house a much older and less powerful MediaTek Dimensity 6020 (commonly known as Dimensity 700) chipset. On top of that, Vivo has limited the refresh rate of the display to standard 60Hz.

In other words, it’s better to avoid these t1 editions. But the original models seem to be discontinued. Because the Vivo Y78m is already out of stock and though the Vivo Y78 is still available for purchase, the brand might not restock it.

Vivo recently launched the Vivo Y78+ 5G smartphone in China, featuring a 50-megapixel dual camera system with OIS support, and a Snapdragon 695 chipset. The brand also plans to launch more devices in the Y78 series like the Vivo Y78 which could launch as the Vivo Y78m in China.

The model listed on Geekbench boasts 12GB of RAM, but Vivo might introduce the phone in lower RAM and storage variants as well. We can expect to see the Y78/ Y78m in 6GB/8GB RAM and 128GB/256GB storage options in different markets. In the Geekbench test, the phone scored 842 and 2099 in single-core and multi-core tests, respectively.

The Vivo Y78 has recently surfaced on the 3C certification website, under the model number V2278A. Interestingly, the same model number has also been linked to two smartphones on Google Play: the Vivo Y78 and the Y78m. This could imply that Vivo plans to market the device under different names in various regions. In fact, Vivo Y78m might be a China-exclusive model.

Further, the 3C certification reveals that this device will offer 44W fast charging. We can expect it to pack a 5,000mAh battery. Other specifications of the handset are unknown. It was recently spotted on the NCC website with a design similar to the previously leaked Vivo Y78+ 5G. It features a sleek design and a sizable camera bump with three camera sensors within two rings. On the front, the Vivo phone flaunts a curved display with a center punch hole cutout for the selfie camera.

While we don’t know its other specifications, we can expect it to debut as a mid-range smartphone with a large display and decent cameras. It should debut in the coming months alongside the Vivo Y78+, which is rumored to feature a Snapdragon 695 processor with up to 12GB of RAM.
