Vivo Y51 Price in Pakistan Reduced by Rs 2,000; Super AMOLED Display now in just Rs 34,999

Vivo arguably has the most confusing naming scheme in the industry. While it’s common for manufacturers to release phones under different names in different markets, a Vivo phone can have two names within the same market. Vivo S1 Pro came out in 2019, and a year later, it was rebranded as Vivo Y51. The Y51 received a price cut today, but the S1 Pro didn’t — although they’re both listed on Vivo Pakistan’s website.

Vivo Y51 had been retailing for Rs. 36,999 but after a discount of Rs. 2,000, the phone is now available for Rs. 34,999. It launched in September this year, but since it is a renamed device, the hardware underneath is old-gen.

It has the almost two-year-old Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 665 at its core (the same chipset you’ll find in the much pricier Vivo V20 SE), powered by a decent 4500 mAh battery that charges over 18W. 4GB of memory handles multitasking, and the expandable storage is 128GB. It’s a serviceable spec sheet but not entirely value-focused.

More often than not, Vivo’s mid-range phones have OLED displays and the Y51 is no different. You get a notched 6.38” super AMOLED screen that produces a full HD+ resolution while hiding an optical fingerprint scanner underneath. It’s a standard 60Hz screen, but you get an always-on display, richer contrast, and better power efficiency — not something typical of phones in this reduced Vivo mobile price range.

In a similar vein, the build of Vivo Y51 is a glass sandwich with an aluminum frame between the two panels, available in Jazzy Blue, Dreamy White, and Mystic Black editions. The cameras live in a centered diamond-shaped bump, accented with a line.

The quad-camera array on Vivo Y51 features a 48MP f1.8 wide aperture main camera and an 8MP 120˚ ultra-wide lens. Plus, a pair of 2MP cameras for macro and portrait shooting to pad the camera count.

For selfies, we’re looking at a single 16MP camera. The image-processing powering the camera array on Vivo Y51 supports a dedicated night mode and electronic image stabilization.
