NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The vivo Y6t is the choice for performance and flexibility: its 8 GB of DDR5 RAM and expandable storage make the difference. The vivo Y6 stays close and is the more complete option for photography and battery capacity.
The vivo Y6t also has Bluetooth 5.1 versus Bluetooth 4.2 and weighs 209 g versus 219 g. The vivo Y6 counters with IP68, IP69 protection versus IP65 and MIL-STD-810H, giving it the better-protected build. Both share a 120 Hz IPS LCD display and the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2.
The vivo Y6 leads for photography, with a 50 MP main camera versus 13 MP, an 8 MP front camera versus 5 MP, and 120 fps slow motion versus 30 fps. It also wins on battery: 7,200 mAh versus 6,500 mAh and 44 W charging versus 15 W. The choice comes down to expandable storage and DDR5 on one side, or the camera, protection and faster charging on the other.
