Editorial report

vivo Y3 technical sheet

The vivo Y3 may suit buyers looking for a large display and substantial battery capacity, provided they can live with low pixel density and a relatively heavy build. Its IPS LCD display measures 6.35 inches, but 268 ppi is lower than on most phones of its time. At 190.5 g, it is also heavier than most phones launched around then. The screen has a 19.3:9 aspect ratio and a resolution of 720 × 1,544 px.

Its 5,000 mAh battery capacity is among the best of its time. Fast charging is rated at 18 W, an average figure. The 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage are above average for phones of its time, and storage is expandable. Processing comes from the MediaTek Helio P35, with a maximum clock of 2.3 GHz; the clock figure alone does not place it among faster or slower chips.

The camera is above average overall, although the main camera's f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest of its time. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide camera, while the 13 MP main camera records video at 1080p at 30 fps. Overall and performance are above average for phones launched around the same time, while design and display and connectivity are below average. The vivo Y3 earns a NeoScore of 4.8. It is best suited to buyers who prioritize battery capacity and memory over a sharper display or a lighter phone.
