vivo Y02s Philippines Price is Just PHP 5,999, Here Are The Specs

International handset brand vivo has just released a new smartphone in the Philippines which is great for consumers who are on a tight budget but are now planning to get a new handset that's stylish and fairly powerful.

Priced at only PHP 5,999, the all-new vivo Y02s is not only attractive but also comes with a slew of features that enable an enjoyable mobile experience.

Maine Mendoza is still the main celebrity endorser of vivo in the Philippines. In the photo above, she's holding the freshly released vivo Y02s. If you're a Maine fane and you're into getting everything she promotes, then I guess you should check out this handset.

Design-wise, vivo Y02s flaunts sleek a polycarbonate shell that's available in two colors, namely, Vibrant Blue, Fluorite Black. I think both colorways are pretty attractive but what makes this model quite special is that it's only 8.19 mm thin, making it a joy to hold or keep in the pocket.

As for the specs, I think they are rather good for a 2023 smartphone in this price bracket.

vivo Y02s sports a 6.51 inches HD+ 720 x 1600 pixels IPS LCD screen with Waterdrop Notch that's large enough deliver an enjoyable viewing experience on the device whether you are watching videos on Netflix or Youtube, browsing social media apps, or reading blogs and websites.

In terms of imaging capabilities, this handset has an 8 MegaPixel f/2.0 camera at the back which should be good enough for daily point-and-shoot photography. For those who like taking selfies, vivo Y02s has a 5 MegaPixel f/2.2 front-facing camera that's housed in the notch above the display. This front snapper is powered by vivo's renowned AI beautification software and it also benefits from Aura Screen Light illuminaton that can turned on in low-light conditions.

Both cameras can also record FullHD 1080p 30fps videos, which is good for those who are planning to vlog or make TikTok videos using this smartphone.

Under the hood vivo Y02s runs its Funtouch 12 customized Android 12 operating system with a 12nm 2.35GHz Octa-Core Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 processor that integrates a PowerVR GE8320 graphics chip.

This CPU is good enough to deliver a decent mobile experience for most entry-level consumers and it also lets you run lightweight games on the handset without annoying crashes.

For multitasking, vivo Y02s has 3GB of RAM that can be boosted up to 6GB via the company's Dynamic RAM innovation. This technology makes running multiple mobile apps at once possible without overloading the resources.

vivo Y02s comes with 64GB of internal storage that can easily be augmented using the handset's microSD card slot, which is dedicated. This means that you won't have to sacrifice this smartphone's Dual SIM Dual Standby capability just to get more storage space.

One of the true highlights of this model would have to be its high-capacity 5,000 mAh Li-Po battery that should easily enable a whole day of uptime even for heavy users. For those who just casually their mobile device for basic tasks like checking social networking apps, reading emails, or watching videos, this pack - which supports 10W Fast Charging - can even deliver up to 2 to 3 days of uptime coming from a full charge.

Interested? Formally announced on January 20, 2023, vivo Y02s is now officially available for purchase via the company's official online channels as well as all vivo stores and kiosks in major malls nationwide.
