Editorial report

vivo Y51a technical sheet

The vivo Y51a suits anyone looking for a large display, plenty of RAM and a high-capacity battery. Its trade-off is software: it runs Android 11 and does not receive direct OS updates.

The 6.58-inch IPS LCD display has a density of 401 ppi, higher than that of most phones of its time. Its 8 GB of RAM also exceeds what most phones launched around the same time offer. This configuration pairs that memory with 128 GB of expandable storage and an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 662. At 8.4 mm thick, the phone is thinner than most phones of its time.

The 5000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time, and fast charging is rated at 18 W. The rear camera includes a 48 MP sensor and records video at 4K and 30 fps. An 8 MP ultrawide camera is also included. Connectivity features LTE, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0 and dual-SIM support.

Overall, the vivo Y51a is typical among phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 5.0. It is a considered choice for anyone prioritizing display density, RAM and battery capacity while accepting that direct operating-system updates are not available.
