Editorial report

vivo Y55 technical sheet

The vivo Y55 suits buyers looking for an AMOLED display in a relatively light phone; the trade-off is a camera and connectivity that fall behind most phones launched around the same time. Its 6.44-inch display has 409 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones of its time. At 182 g, it is also lighter than most phones launched around the same time.

The Snapdragon 680, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage are typical specifications for phones launched around the same time. Storage is expandable. The 5000 mAh battery and 44 W fast charging are also typical figures. The rear main camera has 50 MP, but its 1/2.76″ sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time, and it has no optical image stabilization. Connectivity is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time; the phone includes Dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0 and USB-C.

The high-density display and low weight are the Y55’s clearest strengths. It earns a NeoScore of 5.3 and is a better fit for buyers who prioritize the screen and a lighter phone over camera and connectivity.
