Editorial report

vivo Y89 technical sheet

The vivo Y89 suits buyers who value a sharp display and a lightweight phone, but its 3260 mAh battery falls below average for phones of its time. The 6.26-inch display has a density of 403 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. At 149.3 g, the phone also weighs less than most of them.

Its 16 MP camera has higher resolution than most cameras of its time and includes optical image stabilization. The f/2 aperture, however, is worse than most. The battery supports fast charging, though its capacity is below average. Connectivity is also below average, and Wi-Fi is limited to 802.11 b/g/n. The phone has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, with support for a memory card up to 256 GB.

Among phones launched around the same time, the Y89's display density and camera resolution stand out, while battery capacity and connectivity are clear concessions. Its overall standing is below average, with a NeoScore of 3.9. The vivo Y89 is best suited to buyers who prioritize a crisp screen and low weight over a larger battery or more advanced connectivity.
