NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The vivo Y500 is the pick for the best display, camera, and connectivity: AMOLED, 5,000 nits, 50MP, and Wi-Fi 6E give it the edge. The Y6 is the alternative for buyers who prioritize performance and RAM.
The Y500 has a 1260 × 2800 AMOLED display at 450 ppi, versus the Y6’s 720 × 1570 IPS LCD at 256 ppi and the Y60’s 720 × 1600 IPS LCD at 260 ppi. It also offers 90.3% usable surface, IP68, IP69, and MIL-STD-810H; the Y6 has 85.3% plus IP68 and IP69, while the Y60 reaches 85% and IP65.
The Y500 carries an 8,100 mAh battery, versus 7,200 mAh in the Y6 and 6,500 mAh in the Y60; the first two charge at 44W and the last at 15W. The Y6 counters with 12GB of RAM, an AnTuTu score of 456,552, and UFS 3.1; the Y500 reaches 985,368 but has 8GB and UFS 2.2. The Y60 shares the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, 8GB, and UFS 3.1 with the Y6, but its main camera is 13MP and charging is 15W: it is only the buy if it costs less.
