Vivo Y90 smartphone with MediaTek Helio A22 (Source: Indiashopps)
The Vivo Y90 has nothing out of the ordinary since it is a handset tailored for budget-conscious consumers. This MediaTek Helio A22-driven smartphone features only 2 GB of memory, 16 GB of internal storage, and no dual camera or Android Pie. However, it also has a price tag equivalent with around US$101.
Chinese smartphone maker Vivo is back with a new phone, but this is not something that most European and North American customers would buy as anything else than a backup handset or a first smartphone for the kids. The Vivo Y90 has just been launched in India and has a specific target: buyers on a very tight budget.
Powered by the MediaTek Helio A22 processor, the Vivo Y90 has a 6.22-inch display with a modest resolution of 1,520 x 720 pixels. However, this rather low resolution combined with the generous 4,030 mAh power pack should ensure excellent battery life.
For now, there seems to be a single memory/storage variant that comes with 2 GB of memory and 16 GB of internal storage. The cameras are both single-sensor and as low-end as possible — 5 MP for selfies and 8 MP on the back. Sadly, the operating system is not based on Android Pie and the Vivo Y90 runs Android 8.1 Oreo with Funtouch OS 4.1 on top.
With a price equivalent with less than US$102, the Vivo Y90 is expected to go on sale very soon via Flipkart and Amazon. Given its specs, it is very unlikely to see it going on sale outside Asia.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I've been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
