Vivo has quietly launched its new mid-range smartphone, called the Y72t, in China. The 5G-ready device starts at CNY 1,399 (nearly Rs. 16,300) for its base model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. The handset is a rebranded Y55s 5G with an LCD display, a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, dual rear cameras, and a 6,000mAh battery that supports 18W charging.
In the first quarter of 2022, Vivo has been ranked as the most popular device brand in China with the highest market share. A day ago, the company announced its S-series handsets, including the S15 and S15 Pro. Now, the Y72t is here to join the mid-range segment. With the new Y-series smartphone, Vivo aims to take on rivals such as Xiaomi and Samsung.
The Vivo Y72t bears a 6.58-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2408 pixels) LCD display with a 60Hz refresh rate, a 20:9 aspect ratio, 401ppi pixel density, and 92% screen-to-body ratio. The device has a waterdrop notch with a noticeable bottom bezel and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Dimension-wise, it has a 9.17mm thickness and weighs around 200g.
As far as the cameras are concerned, Vivo Y72t houses a dual rear camera setup, including a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP macro sensor. At the front, there is an 8MP camera for taking selfies and video calling. It packs a 6,000mAh battery that supports 18W charging.
Under the hood, Vivo Y72t draws power from a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM and up to 256GB of internal storage. The smartphone boots Android 11 out of the box with OriginOS 1.0 on top. Connectivity options on the handset include 5G, dual-SIMs, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a Type-C port.
For pricing and availability, the Vivo Y72t is priced at CNY 1,399 (nearly Rs. 16,300) for its 8GB/128GB base model and CNY 1,599 (roughly Rs. 18,600) for its 8GB/256GB configuration. It is available in Interstellar Powder, Deep Sea Black, and Blue Sea colors. The handset will be available for pre-order from Monday onward in China and go on sale at a later date.
