Vivo Y31s 5G is a born-again device. There was a phone in 2021 with the same name. They rehash the old version with new tech and a far better design. There’s 8GB RAM here. 256GB is the only storage option. This newcomer is also built around the very new Origin OS 6, which is actually Android 16 at its core. The original had Android 11. The newcomer’s system is run by a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip, and that’s a 2.2GHz 8-core platform. It’s years ahead of the SD 480 chip they brought to the 2021 Y31s 5G, with a way better 4nm architecture. The storage is UFS 3.1 storage on the Vivo Y31s 5G. The new silicon can also do a 120Hz refresh rate. They put a 6.74” IPS LCD on the new Vivo Y31s. It seems that the phone has an FHD+ screen. The brightness is 1050 nits. There’s a punch hole on it, where we see a 32MP selfie snapper. The main camera is a 50MP outsole, next to a 2MP bokeh lens. Vivo has also put a BlueVolt 6500mAh battery on the 2026 Vivo Y31s 5G. The battery is more than enough to last one and a half days. Vivo plugged this cell into a 44W charging kit, which means fast refills and less downtime. The newcomer’s price puts it close to the Samsung Galaxy A26, but the Vivo Y31s falters in several categories to be its true competitor.
