The latest leaked specs present the Vivo Y17 as a lower-end mid-range model powered by the new MediaTek Helio P35 Soc coupled with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage. It also comes with a big 6.35-inch IPS screen that has 1154 x 720 resolution and a teardrop notch with a 20 MP selfie cam. It does get a triple-cam setup on the back, but the MP count is modest, and it features a very generous 5,000 mAh battery, as well.
Vivo’s mid-range lineup will soon be joined by the Y17 smartphone, which will be among the first devices to integrate a MediaTek Helio P35 SoC. This model is yet to be officially announced, but it looks like MySmartPrice already managed to get ahold of the spec sheet and a few high-resolution renders that depict two of the color options.
The renders alone reveal a rear triple-cam with modest 13 MP main sensor, an 8 MP wide-angle shooter and a 2 MP depth camera. The back also features a capacitive fingerprint reader, while the two color options depicted in the exclusive renders are aqua and purple and both come with gradient patterns.
According to reliable leaker Smartvenka95 on Twitter, the Y17 model will get a 6.35-inch IPS display with 1154 x 720 resolution and a waterdrop notch that houses a 20 MP selfie camera. Looking at the specs, this seems to be a lower-end mid-ranger, as it only comes with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB storage. A more premium feature, however, is included with the 5,000 mAh battery that gets an 18 W Dual Engine for fast charging through the OTG microUSB port. Vivo’s Y17 is expected to run the highly-customized Funtouch 9.0 interface based on the Android 9.0 OS.

I first stepped into the wondrous IT&C world when I was around seven years old. I was instantly fascinated by computerized graphics, whether they were from games or 3D applications like 3D Max. I'm also an avid reader of science fiction, an astrophysics aficionado, and a crypto geek. I started writing PC-related articles for Softpedia and a few blogs back in 2006. I joined the Notebookcheck team in the summer of 2017 and am currently a senior tech writer mostly covering processor, GPU, and laptop news.
