vivo Y27s Review: If Only It had Better Performance or Display or Both!
Source: TechLekh English
One small suggestion would be to fix the position of the Wi-Fi QR scanner. Currently, it’s at the bottom, and if there are enough available Wi-Fi networks, it moves to the bottom, forcing us to scroll to find it. It’s not a major issue, but since every other phone has it at the top, I thought it’s worth mentioning. Moving on, Funtouch OS offers a plethora of customization options. You can change the home screen style and layout! The UI color you get with Android 13 is present. There’s a feature called dynamic effect that allows you to customize light effects for notifications and animations such as when entering the home screen, using face recognition, charging, and inserting a USB. However, vivo has not shared any promises regarding software support for the vivo Y27s.

71% Vivo Y27s Review: OKAY but could’ve been better
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English
So, in the end, the Vivo Y27s comes out to be a decent option for the NPR 25,000 price tag. The 90Hz IPS panel, 256GB storage, and Snapdragon 680 you get with this phone are just good enough. But, Vivo really needs to work on the camera side of things. On top of that, Vivo should have offered an AMOLED panel and stereo speakers with Y27s, given the competition in this price range. This smartphone is launching at INR 15,000 in India, so it is not overpriced at all. So, yeah! Overall, the Vivo Y27s is just an “okayish” phone!

vivo Y28 review: Big batt beauty
Source: Speed Magazine English
For its price, the vivo Y28 already offers a lot of features that casual and productivity users will appreciate: it has a premium feel and look, the performance is decent, and the battery lasts long. While the screen and camera could be better, they’re understandable given the affordable price tag.

vivo Y28 Review
Source: Yugatech English
The vivo Y28 has a suggested retail price of PHP 7,999 for the 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. It’s also available for PHP 9,999 with a higher 256GB storage option. This phone is an affordable pickup for 2024 that stands out as a slim battery heavyweight. I encourage readers to consider this if they’re looking for a well-rounded device under the entry-level segment. Here are the links to the vivo Y28 in Shopee 16 and Lazada. My personal gripes with its cameras, biometrics, and bloatware are offset by its good design, decent performance, and insane battery life. In other words, the pros outweigh the cons. If we’re here to weigh down what really matters when it comes to functional devices, the Y28 wins out.

78% Vivo Y28 4G review: Elegant design on a budget!
Source: Gadgetbyte Nepal English
The Vivo Y28 ticks the boxes for looks and design without a doubt. It’s got all for someone who’s all about going for a good-looking phone. But the phone has several bummers. Vivo’s choice of continuing the Helio G85 on a 25K phone is not justifiable, and you only get a 90Hz LCD panel here which is not that great. The camera experience is also pretty basic while the selfies are on a tat bit better side. If you peek at the competition, this segment has phones like Redmi Note 13 and Galaxy A15 5G with AMOLED panels and better performance.

vivo has another Budget Phone Champ with the Y28: 6000mAh Battery, IP64, and More
Source: Unbox English
vivo has made great strides with its Y series phones recently. The Y100 impressed us with its 80w fast charging and a bright 120hz AMOLED display, while the Y03 proved that vivo has a competitive budget phone at an under Php 5k price point. The Y28 is the latest budget offering from vivo that wants to prove that it is a great budget phone for under Php 10k.

vivo Y29 Review
Source: Yugatech English
The Vivo Y29 doesn’t aim to compete with flagship devices. Instead, it focuses on getting the essentials right, and in that regard, it does a commendable job. It brings together a responsive 120 Hz display, excellent battery life, dependable everyday performance, and a fairly polished software experience. All of this comes wrapped in a sturdy design that feels more premium than the price tag would suggest. There are some trade-offs, like the absence of 5G, a basic audio setup, and limited camera versatility in low light. However, these compromises are understandable given the phone’s target price point.The real value proposition comes when you look at the official pricing. The Vivo Y29 starts at PHP 8,999 for the 128GB variant, while the higher 256GB model is available for PHP 10,999.

vivo Y29 Gaming Review
Source: Manila Shaker English
Overall, the vivo Y29 manages to deliver an enjoyable gaming experience when it comes to competitive titles. So if you’re into Mobile Legends, Wild Rift, or even Call of Duty: Mobile, the vivo Y29 will be able to handle those games. However, for users like me who love playing ARPGs, this is not the best device for that activity since it outputs tons of frame drops and stutters. All in all, for the price of PHP10,999, the vivo Y29 is a decent device for entry-level gaming.

Vivo:


Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

ARM Mali-G52 MP2: Integrated mid range graphics card with 2 clusters. ARM states that the G52 series is 30% faster and 15% more efficient compared to the G51 series on the same process node.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 610: Integrated (in the Snapdragon 665) graphics card based on the Adreno 600 architecture. The performance of the GPU is between the Adreno 510 and 512/612 and therefore in the lower mid range. Supports DirectX11_1, Vulkan 1.0, OpenCL 2.0, OpenGL ES 3.2.

ARM Mali-G57 MP2: Integrated mid range graphics card with 2 clusters. Based on the Valhall architecture.
