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.

The Vivo Y78m has silently gone official in China. It is a new addition to the Y78 series, which already includes devices such as the Vivo Y78 and Y78+. The newly announced Vivo Y78m is identical to the Y78, which was announced in May this year. Both phones seem to mainly differ in color options and configurations.
