Even these days, finding premium features on a budget-priced smartphone can prove to be difficult. Getting a suitable device could shave off a decent amount on your bank account, especially if you’re after something with decent multiple cameras, capable performance, and long-lasting battery life.

But with the Vivo Y15, which is now cheaper in the Philippines at P7,999 or around $158 (from P10,999 or $217 at launch), you’ll get all these premium features — and more, including a choice between two stunning colorways — without spending extra money.

Triple-threat cameras

Vivo, one of the world’s leading smartphone brands, has always put an emphasis in the camera department, and the Y15, while affordable, is no different.

The Vivo Y15 allows users to take sharp and detailed pictures with its AI-powered triple-camera setup consisting of a 13-megapixel main sensor, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide shooter, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor for portraits. Users can also shoot quality videos at full HD, 1080p resolution using the rear-facing camera system.

Higher performance at a lower price

As if conceptualizing your next post on Instagram or TikTok isn’t headache-inducing enough, operating a laggy phone with years-old specs can cause your head to throb.

Thankfully, the Vivo Y15 comes with an octa-core processor coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage. Those specs translate to a device that’s good for most smartphone tasks, with the occasional gaming and photo editing.

Extra-long battery life

With the Vivo Y15’s massive 5,000mAh battery, getting two days of medium to heavy usage isn’t just possible — it’s realistic! You can take tens of pictures, scroll through your social media feeds for hours, and stream multiple episodes of your favorite Korean drama series without worrying about charging the phone for the rest of the day.

The Y15 is available at authorized Vivo stores nationwide and online through Lazada and Shopee.
