Editorial report

vivo Y50 (2020) technical sheet

The vivo Y50 (2020) suits buyers who put battery capacity and memory ahead of quick charging. Its 15 W charging is below average for phones launched around the same time, making charging speed the main trade-off to weigh against its generous battery.

The 5,000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones from its time. Its 8 GB of RAM also exceeds what most offer, and overall performance is above average. Storage is 128 GB and expandable, giving room to add a card. The 6.53-inch IPS LCD display has a 1080 × 2400 resolution and 403 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones launched around the same time. Design and display overall are average.

The camera is a weaker area: its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest of its time, while the camera overall is below average. The main camera is 13 MP, joined by an 8 MP ultrawide and a 2 MP macro camera. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. At 197 g, the phone is heavier than average for its time. Android 10, dual Nano-SIM support, a 3.5 mm audio jack and USB Type-C round out the documented features.

The vivo Y50 (2020) has an overall NeoScore of 4.7. It makes the most sense for buyers who value battery capacity and 8 GB of RAM more than camera strengths or faster charging; its display density and expandable storage add practical flexibility to that mix.
