Vivo has just introduced its latest budget-friendly smartphone, the Vivo Y19e, priced at under $100. This new model expands the Y19 series, which already includes the Vivo Y19s, launched in Pakistan last November. With the Y19s already available in the local market, it is highly likely that the Vivo Y19e will also make its way to Pakistan soon.
This newly launched budget smartphone offers impressive specifications at a wallet-friendly price, making it an excellent option for users seeking an affordable yet capable device.
Performance and Software
At the heart of the Vivo Y19e is the Unisoc T7225 chipset, also known as Unisoc Tiger T612. This is the same processor that powers the Y19s, ensuring reliable performance for everyday tasks. The phone runs on Android 14 with FunTouch OS 14 layered on top, offering a smooth and user-friendly experience.
Display and Storage
The Vivo Y19e comes in a single 4GB RAM and 64GB storage variant. However, users can expand storage using a microSD card, providing extra space for apps, photos, and files.
On the front, the device features a 6.74-inch IPS LCD with a notch at the top. Although the display resolution is limited to 720p HD+, it compensates with a 90Hz refresh rate, making scrolling and animations smoother.
Durability and Build Quality
Despite its low price, the Vivo Y19e is impressively durable. It is splash-resistant with an IPX4 rating, dustproof with an IP6X certification, and even shockproof, meeting MIL-STD-810H military standards. These features are rarely seen in budget smartphones, making this device stand out.
Camera and AI Features
For photography, the Vivo Y19e is equipped with a 13MP primary rear camera, supported by a secondary lens. On the front, a 5MP selfie camera ensures decent quality for video calls and selfies. The phone also supports 1080p video recording at 30FPS.
Vivo has integrated some AI-powered camera features, such as AI Erase for removing unwanted objects from images and AI Photo Enhance for improving picture quality. These tools help users capture better photos with minimal effort.
Audio and Battery
The phone features dual speakers—one at the top and another at the bottom—providing 200% louder sound output for an enhanced audio experience.
Powering the Vivo Y19e is a massive 5,500mAh battery, designed to last all day. Vivo claims that even after five years of use, the battery will maintain its health. However, the 15W charging speed is relatively slow, though it helps prolong battery lifespan.
Price and Availability
The Vivo Y19e is priced at just $90 (~PKR 25,000). If it launches in Pakistan, the pricing is expected to be in a similar range, making it an excellent option for those seeking an affordable yet durable smartphone.
