Vivo has added a budget-friendly, Android 12-based 5G phone to its arsenal of devices.
The Vivo Y30 5G has been launched in Thailand with an ฿8,699 price tag. That’s roughly P13,222 in Philippine pesos and $237 in U.S. dollars for the lone model with 6GB of RAM — which can still be extended up to 8GB virtually — and 128GB of expandable storage.
Announcement of the Vivo Y30 5G’s availability in Thailand
Powering the smartphone is a 7nm MediaTek Dimensity 700 chip that can also be found in entry-level 5G handsets such as the Samsung Galaxy A13 5G, the Realme 8 5G, and the POCO M3 Pro 5G.
Two of the other highlights of the Vivo Y30 5G include a 50-megapixel main rear sensor assisted by a 2-megapixel depth camera and a 5,000mAh battery that has a standby time of up to 27.2 hours and supports 10 watts of charging.
The HD+ display is neither big or small at 6.51 inches. Its screen-to-body ratio is on the high side at 88.99%. And it covers 72% NTSC color gamut. Though we wish the waterdrop notch where the 8-megapixel selfie camera is were a punch hole this time around. Well, at least the back looks good, what with the glittery AG surface on the Rainbow Fantasy color variant and the embossed texture on the Starlight Black version.
We still don’t know if the company will bring the Y30 5G to the Philippines, but we’ll let you know as soon as there’s an update.
