This guarantees sufficient autonomy for daily use without the need for frequent recharging. Additionally, the device is IP54 certified, offering some protection against dust and water splashes, and features stereo speakers for an enhanced audio experience.
The vivo Y18i is available in two elegant colors: Space Black and Gem Green. The launch price in India is 7999 Indian Rupees, equivalent to around 85 euros, making it an accessible choice for those looking for an economical but functional smartphone. The device will be sold through vivo's official website in India and is expected to be available at offline retailers as well.
Interestingly, the vivo Y18i is a rebrand of the Y03t model, which was launched just a day earlier. The main differences between the two models lie in the Bluetooth version (5.0 for the Y18i and 5.2 for the Y03t) and in the memory options, with the Y03t also offering a variant with 128GB of storage.
