Editorial report

vivo Y17 technical sheet

The vivo Y17 suits buyers who put battery capacity and expandable storage first; the main trade-off is a less detailed display than most phones launched around the same time. Its 6.35-inch IPS LCD panel has a 720 × 1544 px resolution and 268 ppi, a pixel density among the lowest of phones from that period. The 60 Hz refresh rate is an average figure for its time.

Performance is another compromise: its AnTuTu score of 86,500 is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. The phone has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, an above-average capacity that can be expanded with a card up to 256 GB. Its 13 MP main camera has an f/2.2 aperture, among the weakest of its time. An 8 MP ultrawide camera and a 20 MP front camera round out the cameras.

The 5000 mAh battery is among the highest-capacity batteries of phones from the same period, while 18 W charging is average. Connectivity includes Dual SIM, a 3.5 mm audio jack, FM radio and microUSB. It runs Android 9. The overall NeoScore is 4.2. The vivo Y17 is best suited to buyers who value a large battery and expandable memory more than display sharpness or performance; its strong capacity and practical storage headroom come with clear compromises in those areas.
