Editorial report

vivo Y15s (2021) technical sheet

The vivo Y15s (2021) suits anyone looking for a straightforward phone for calls, messaging, and everyday tasks, with a light body. Its main trade-off is modest hardware and camera specifications: both sit below those of most phones launched around the same time. At 179 g and 8.3 mm thick, it is lighter and slimmer than most phones of its time.

The 6.51-inch IPS LCD display has 720 × 1600 px resolution and 270 ppi density, lower than most displays of its time. The MediaTek Helio P35 comes with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, which is expandable. Its RAM and storage are among the weakest capacities of its time, and the AnTuTu score of 103,000 is among the weakest too. The 13 MP rear camera has an f/2.2 aperture; both specifications are worse than most phones launched around the same time. The 5000 mAh battery stands better than most in the battery comparison, while 10 W charging is slower than most phones of its time. Other features include Dual Nano-SIM, Bluetooth 5.0, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. With an overall NeoScore of 3.8, the vivo Y15s (2021) is a basic choice for anyone prioritizing a lightweight phone and everyday functions over stronger hardware, larger storage, and faster charging.
