Reviews for the Vivo Y36

Well, this guy isn’t exactly winning in its price range. It can handle everyday tasks just fine, but when asked to take on heavier stuff, it lags behind. Gaming performance? Not its strong suit either. Besides, there is some tough competition in this price level from other handsets like the Samsung Galaxy A24 4G, Redmi Note 12 5G, Realme 10, and more. But if you’re a fan of the design and want decent cameras under 30,000 rupees, I can totally see this being someone’s pick. That shimmery back is quite the looker and daylight shots and portraits are good enough for a budget-midrange phone. Moreover, the battery holds its own, and the overall user experience isn’t terrible either.

For a reasonable R6 999 (which can go up to R7 499 from some vendors like Takealot) the vivo Y36 is a good midranger from the brand. You will receive stable performance, a solid camera outing and a charging experience so on point that it will barely occupy your thoughts. However, that’s kind of it. Many aspects of the Y36 can be found in contemporaries, and many do it better. Are they more expensive? Perhaps, but some not by much. What we’re getting at is that, as we mentioned, the South African market is so competitive in this range of devices that brands need to start setting models apart with something special. Something that makes it worth choosing the Y36 over its rivals that are sitting just an inch away on the shelves. The vivo Y36, for us, has not managed to do this and unfortunately may be forgotten in the swirl of other similar handsets.

The vivo Y36 goes big in a lot of aspects—8GB RAM, an expandable 256GB internal storage, a solid 5000mAh battery, and a huge display with up to 90Hz refresh rate. Its solid, premium-feeling build is also a plus. We’d love it if the processor had a little more power when playing intensive games, but overall, it worked smoothly and fast for all other computing tasks. The camera takes decent photos, but we missed having the ultrawide mode on some occasions.

Being more of an incremental update to last year’s Y35, the Y36 improves on its display, back panel build, and main rear camera–but is hampered by the limitations of the Snapdragon 680 especially when it comes to gaming.

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
