Why the Y18
BudgetThe vivo Y18 is an entry-level budget smartphone that provides exceptional value at its $131 price point. It features a reliable 5000 mAh battery and a responsive 90Hz display, though its performance score is estimated strictly from its basic Mediatek Helio G85 chipset class without benchmark data. Compromises include HD+ resolution, slow 15W charging, and basic camera hardware.
