Editorial report

vivo Y28 technical sheet

The vivo Y28 suits buyers looking for a simple, light and slim 5G phone for everyday use. At 186 g and 8.1 mm, its body is lighter and thinner than most phones of its time, while expandable storage supplements the 128 GB in this version. The main trade-off is charging: 15 W is slower than what most phones of its time offer.

Its 6.56-inch IPS LCD reaches 840 nits and runs at 90 Hz, but both 90 Hz and 269 ppi are weaker figures than most phones of its time. The body has IP54 protection, and the fingerprint reader sits on the side. The MediaTek Dimensity 6020, 4 GB of RAM and UFS 2.2 storage make this a modest configuration; the phone runs Android 13 and receives one year of OS updates.

The 50 MP rear camera records 1080p at 30 fps, but it lacks optical image stabilization, and the camera setup is worse than most phones of its time. Connectivity includes 5G, dual SIM, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1 and several navigation systems. The 5,000 mAh battery is typical, supports reverse charging and is non-removable. With an overall NeoScore of 4.9, the vivo Y28 is a functional choice for buyers who prioritize low weight, 5G and expandable storage while accepting a modest display, limited cameras and slow charging.
