Introducing the Vivo Y27s: 90Hz Display and 50MP Camera, All for Just $153

The Vivo Y27s is the latest addition to the Y-series. This handset has been officially launched in Indonesia, and it features numerous noticeable improvements over its brothers, the Vivo Y27 and Y27 5G.

Design and Display

One of the most significant changes is the addition of a new punch-hole screen. The Vivo Y27s has a 6.64-inch 1080p LCD display with a refresh rate of 90Hz. Within the punch hole cutout is a single selfie camera, and the smartphone has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner built into the power button.

The Y27s is distinguished by its IP54 water and dust resistance, which adds to its endurance.

Internals and Software

The gadget is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 chipset, 8 GB of RAM, and a choice of 128 GB or 256 GB UFS 2.2 storage, extendable via a microSD card slot.

In terms of software, the phone runs Vivo's Funtouch OS 13 on top of Android 13.

 Cameras            

On the back, there's a 50MP primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture and a 2MP depth camera, which is the same as on the other two Vivo Y27 variants. The main camera can record 1080p video clips at 30 frames per second. The selfie camera inside the punch-hole cutout is an 8MP snapper with 1080p video recording capabilities.

Battery and Pricing

There is a 5,000 mAh battery onboard that can be charged at 44W via the USB C connector.
