The Vivo Y03t has been silently released as an entry-level smartphone. Going by its name, it might get confused with the Y03 that was launched earlier this year. The Y03t carries almost the same design but comes with a less powerful processor. Surprisingly, it has the same price tag as that of its predecessor.
The Vivo Y03t comes with a 6.56-inch 720p LCD, complemented by a 90Hz refresh rate and a peak of 528 nits brightness. It has the Unisoc T612 chipset, coupled with 4GB RAM. There is 128GB of internal storage on offer and a microSD card slot for further expansion.
For photography, the Vivo Y03t sports a 13MP main camera and a depth sensor. It has a 5MP front-facing camera that will be seated in a teardrop notch. It supports a 5,000mAh battery with support for 15W fast charging and has dust and water resistance with an IP54 certification.
Available in green and black, it will be available in Vivo’s online store, with pricing pegged at RM399 – the same as the original Y03. For a similar asking price, minimal upgrades are presented by the Y03t over its earlier model.
The Vivo Y03t still fares pretty well against most budget smartphones available on the market. Its bundle of features, price point, and solid build alone make for a compelling argument for entry-level users.
