Three weeks after it released the Y17, Vivo Philippines has made available another member of its Y lineup of smartphones.
The Vivo Y15 is a toned-down version of the model that came before it. Instead of a Helio P35 processor used by the Vivo Y17, the Y15 gets a Helio P22 chip. The 128GB of built-in storage has been brought down to 64GB. Instead of a 20-megapixel front camera, there is now a 16-megapixel shooter for selfies. And the battery does not support fast charging this time.

The rest of the specs are the same, from the battery with a big, 5,000mAh capacity to the triple-camera system on the back. The setup includes a 120-degree super-wide-angle lens– something we find useful especially when taking pictures of sprawling landscapes.
Of course, the Vivo Y15 comes with a more affordable price tag; it has gone on sale in the Philippines for P10,999, or around $213 when converted to U.S. dollars. The Y17, in case you did not know, is priced at P12,999 ($251).
