Vivo Y19s GT 5G launches as budget and semi-rugged smartphone with three card slots

Vivo is expanding its range of budget smartphones with a new model, the Vivo Y19s GT 5G. Currently available in Indonesia at the equivalent of around $123, information on global availability is still pending. The model comes in two color variants and three configurations: a base model with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage, 8 GB/128 GB and 8 GB/256 GB.

Regardless of the chosen configuration, a Dimensity 6300 is installed as the SoC, which supports 5G, although the chip itself is significantly limited in terms of processing power. Both dual SIM support and storage expansion with a microSD card are possible, as three individual slots are available for this purpose.

The 199-gram smartphone features a 6.74-inch screen. Vivo opts for an LCD display with a resolution of 1,600 x 720, a refresh rate of 90 Hz and a brightness of (up to) 570 cd/m². It features a 50-MP main camera and a 5-MP front camera. The 5,500 mAh battery can be charged with up to 15 watts. IP64 certification is advertised, thus offering a certain degree of protection against dust and water. The Vivo Y19s GT 5G can also withstand falls to a certain extent, thanks to an (internally) reinforced structure.
