Editorial report
vivo Y500i 8 GB / 256 GB / China technical sheet
The vivo Y500i suits buyers who prioritize a large battery and protection from water and dust, but accept a low-density display and a camera without optical stabilization. Its 7200 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time, while 44 W charging is typical rather than distinctive.
The 6.75″ IPS LCD display runs at 120 Hz and reaches 1200 nits, but its 256 ppi density is among the weakest of its time. The body resists water and dust with IP68, IP69 and IP64 protection, and stereo speakers are included. The configuration shown pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with up to 12 GB / 512 GB. Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage make for typical performance.
The 50 MP main camera lacks optical stabilization. Connectivity is worse than on most phones of its time, with Bluetooth 4.2 and USB 2.0 as its clearest limits, although 5G, NFC, dual SIM and a 3.5 mm audio jack are included. Android 16 comes without Google Services. Its overall standing is typical among phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 5.7: a battery-and-resistance-focused choice rather than a camera or connectivity specialist.
