vivo has recently listed its latest budget smartphone, the Y19s, on its official website. While pricing and availability details are yet to be announced, the complete specifications provide a clear picture of what vivo fans can expect from this new device.

Vivo Y19s Specs

The vivo Y19s boasts a large 6.68-inch LCD display with a resolution of 1608 × 720 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz. Powered by the T612 processor with an octa-core CPU (2 × 1.8 GHz + 6 × 1.8 GHz), making it a new contender in the budget category.

In terms of memory and storage, the Y19s comes with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM (expandable up to 12GB) and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, expandable up to 1TB via microSD. The device runs on Funtouch OS 14, based on Android 14.

Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 50 MP main camera, accompanied by a 0.08 MP secondary sensor. For selfies, there’s a 5 MP front-facing camera. The rear camera supports various modes including Night, Portrait, and Pro, among others.

A 5500 mAh battery powers the Y19s, with 15W charging support. The device also features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and offers IP64 dust and water resistance.

The vivo Y19s is listed in three attractive colors: Pearl Silver, Glossy Black, and Glacier Blue, but some of them may not come in certain regions. The phone measures 165.75 × 76.10 × 8.10 mm and weighs 198g, with a back cover made of composite plastic.

The device supports 4G LTE, dual SIM functionality, Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz / 5 GHz), Bluetooth 5.2, and GPS. It also includes a USB Type-C port and retains the 3.5mm headphone jack, a feature increasingly rare in modern smartphones.

Pricing and Availability

While the Vivo Y19s has been listed on the company’s website with detailed specifications, pricing information is still pending. We expect vivo to announce pricing and availability soon, potentially positioning the Y19s as a competitive option in the budget smartphone segment.

The Y19s appear to be targeted at multiple markets, with color availability varying by region. For instance, the Black variant will be available in Bangladesh, UAE, Russia, Vietnam, Myanmar, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Cambodia, Egypt, Thailand, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan, while the Blue and Silver variants have slightly different regional availability. Notably, the charger is not included in the box for Thailand and the Philippines, while it is provided for other markets.

As consumers await further details, the vivo Y19s promises to be an interesting addition to the budget smartphone market, offering a balanced mix of features at what is expected to be an attractive price point.

We recently saw Samsung launching the Galaxy S24 FE along with the Galaxy Tab S10 series both in India and the Global market. And it seems a new launch is on its way, and it’s from Samsung’s Galaxy A series, called the Galaxy A36. It has been spotted on the Geekbench database with the model number “SM-A366B”.

Samsung Galaxy A36 5G Geekbench

First spotted by the folks at 91Mobiles, this is going to be the successor of the Galaxy A35 5G, which was also released this year only. As per the Geekbench listing, the details revealed [show] it has managed to get a single-core score of 314 and a multi-core score of 1279. And comparing it with its predecessor, which attained a 1020 single-core score while the multi-core score was 2973. This would mean, being the successor, there will be some performance drop.

The CPU has two clusters, showing 4 cores clocked at 1.80GHz and 4 cores clocked at 2.40 GHz. And the prototype that popped up shows at least 6GB of RAM. Although it isn’t clear which chipset it is, the publication speculates it to be either the Snapdragon 6 Gen 3 or the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2.

Here I feel that Samsung may not go this low for the Galaxy A36, while its predecessor showed at least better performance on Geekbench. Only time will tell, whether it will come with an underclocked chipset or somewhat better.
