Vivo Y100 Due for Launch in Pakistan Soon; SD 4 Gen 2, AMOLED 120Hz, and More

We are nearing another launch for a Vivo device in Pakistan. The newcomer is from the company’s affordable collection and it’s dubbed Vivo Y100. Teased on social media, Vivo has officially revealed that the device will launch this week, likely within two days. Here’s what to expect.

Vivo Y100 is low priced, yet a reliable phone from the company’s mid-range pack. It brings an E4 AMOLED 6.67-inch screen that clocks at a fast 120hz refresh rate. Surprisingly, the panel fronting the Vivo Y100 reaches an eye-popping 1800 nits of brightness in peak times, and it’s sealed tight on the chassis with an IP54 rating.

The processor at the heart of Y100 is a new Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2. It is a fast octa-core engine with a max clock frequency of 2.2 GHz. Since the SoC’s architecture is scaled down to a mere 4nm, the phone is ultra-efficient when it comes to battery and power usage.  

With 8 GB of fast LPDDR4X RAM in the mix, you’ll get a reliable future-proof device that serves up to 256 GB of onboard UFS 2.2 storage. And if that’s not enough, it expands the RAM by 8 GB and ROM by up to 1 TB using virtual memory and an SD card slot on the Vivo latest budget mobile. 

While its design draws parallel to the current Samsung A series, the brand has added a rectangular landing region to make the design unique. It has three cameras on the back (50MP + 8MP + decorative) and a single 8MP lens on the front for selfies. 

To fuel the system, Vivo Y100 embeds a solid 5000mAh Li-ion battery at its hull. For recharging, it draws up to 80 watts from the wall. There’s a fingerprint reader atop the AMOLED panel and several design choices for users to pick from including Crystal Black, Leather Purple, and Saffron Delight.
