Editorial report

vivo Y51 technical sheet

The vivo Y51 suits buyers looking for a sharp display and a large-capacity battery, provided they can live with 4 GB of RAM, below average for phones of its time. This configuration pairs 4 GB RAM with 128 GB storage, and storage can be expanded.

Its 6.38-inch Super AMOLED display has a 1080 × 2340 resolution and 404 ppi. That pixel density is higher than on most phones launched around the same time; its 85% screen-to-body ratio is also better than most. The screen is a strong fit for reading, video and browsing. The phone weighs 186.7 g.

The Snapdragon 665 is an octa-core processor, and its AnTuTu v8 result is above average for phones of its time. That sits alongside 4 GB of RAM, which is below average and the main compromise in this version. The 4,500 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of the period, while 18 W charging is average. The rear main camera records video at 4K and 30 fps, and an ultrawide camera adds a wider framing option. The camera overall is above average. Connectivity is below average, although the phone includes 4G, dual SIM and USB Type-C.

With a NeoScore of 5.0, the vivo Y51 is best suited to buyers who put a clear display and battery capacity first and can accept its modest RAM.
