Evidence-based overview

Y500i technical sheet

The vivo Y500i is a 5G phone built around the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, an octa-core processor reaching 2.2 GHz, 12 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and UFS 3.1 storage up to 512 GB. The recorded AnTuTu v10 result is 456,552; this is documented data, not a NeoTeo test.

Its 6.75-inch IPS LCD supports a 120 Hz refresh rate and reaches 1,200 nits peak brightness, while its resolution is 720 × 1,570 pixels at 256 ppi. The 7,200 mAh Si-Carbon Li-Ion battery supports 44 W fast charging, reverse charging and 44 W wireless charging. That specification suits buyers who prioritise capacity, but no real-world endurance figure is available.

The rear camera setup consists of a 50 MP f/1.8 main camera and a 2 MP depth camera; the front camera is 5 MP. Video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps, and the main camera supports 120 fps slow motion, but optical image stabilisation is not available. The body lists IP68, IP69 and IP64 resistance features, with a documented waterproof depth of 1.5 m. Trade-offs include the 219 g weight, non-expandable storage, USB 2.0 and the absence of Google Services. It is best suited to users seeking 5G, a large battery, 120 Hz and dual-SIM support, provided the display and software limitations fit their priorities.

Highlights

  • 17,200 mAh battery with 44 W fast and 44 W wireless charging.
  • 2120 Hz display with 1,200 nits peak brightness.
  • 3Supports 5G, dual Nano-SIM, NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack and stereo speakers.
  • 4The body lists IP68, IP69 and IP64 resistance, with water resistance to 1.5 m.

Things to consider

  • 1The 6.75-inch IPS LCD has a 720 × 1,570-pixel resolution and 256 ppi.
  • 2It weighs 219 g and has an 8.4 mm-thick body.
  • 3Storage cannot be expanded, and the USB connection uses the USB 2.0 standard.
