Vivo has launched another phone called the Y55s, which shares the same name as previous models, but should not be confused with the Y55s from 2017 or the 5G version from 2021. However, the specs are quite similar to the former. This latest Y55s 5G model is designed for international markets.
The most notable difference is that the new Vivo Y55s model comes with a lower 5,000mAh battery, compared to the 6,000mAh battery of its predecessor. Additionally, it has the same 18W charging. The other specifications are identical as well. The phone measures 164 inches by 75.84 inches by 8.25mm and weighs only 187 grams.
It comes in three colors: Starry Black, Galaxy Blue, and Galaxy Blue.
The phone features a 6.58-inch FullHD+ (2408 x 1080) LCD, a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of non-expandable storage. Unlike the 2021 variant, there is no 8GB RAM option. The phone also features dual SIM 5G support, dual-band Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.1, a USB Type-C port with OTG support, FM radio, NFC, and a full array of sensors, including gravity, light, proximity, compass, gyroscope, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader.
The camera department consists of a 50MP f/1.8 main camera, as well as two 2MP f/2.4 camera sensors at the back of the phone – one for depth information in portraits and the other for macro photos. This is technically one more camera than the 2021 version. On the front, there is an 8MP f/1.8 selfie camera.
The new global Vivo Y55s 5G is priced at NTD 7,990 ($265) for the 4GB + 128GB variant and NTD 8,490 ($280) for the higher-end 6GB + 128GB model.
