Smartphone Vivo Y11

An ambitious state employee with a model appearance and a “high” screen framed by thin side frames. The model's display has received the official nickname Halo FullView — this is how the manufacturer calls a 6.35-inch IPS-matrix HD + (1544x720 pixels) with a teardrop "decollete" in the upper segment. The cutout in the screen is made for the needs of an 8 MP selfie camera with branded AI Face Beauty facial skin beautifiers.

Keeping pace with the latest fashion trends in the smartphone genre, Vivo Y11 has acquired a “two-eyed” 13 + 2 MP main camera. The second module in it is used to measure the depth of field and then blur the background when shooting in portrait mode. The basis of the hardware of the mobile gadget is the "octa-core" of the initial link Snapdragon 439, flavored with 3/32 GB of memory. In load, the smartphone was armed with a rear fingerprint sensor and a powerful “five-thousander” battery (5000 mAh). The special charm of the model in appearance is given by the colour gradient of the plastic back (there are coral-red and jade-green body colours).

3 – 4 days of active use without recharging

The Chinese brand Vivo continues to develop the Y line, gradually winning back a piece of the pie from competitors from Xiaomi, Huawei and Samsung. The pride of their new Vivo Y11 smartphone is a capacious battery, it’s not without reason that the inscription “5000 mAh” flaunts next to the name of the device on the box. And this is great news. The indicator of 4000 mAh is gradually becoming the norm for "tubes" of any class, and "life near the outlet" from advertising Samsung Galaxy S5 turns into a bearded anecdote. A solid battery, a proprietary intelligent power management system and energy-efficient filling allow Vivo Y11 to work for three days on a single charge. And this is with games, YouTube, instant messengers, listening to music and other regular activities. If you use it in a more gentle mode, then you can count on all five days.

Eye-catching design

The Vivo Y11 case is next in line for praise. Among the army of identical smartphones with a shimmering back cover, it differs by a moderately strict back with a barely noticeable tint and a texture that is pleasing to the eye. The case itself looks neat, it is built to last, and the side frames in such phones have long been narrowed to a minimum, so it is often difficult to distinguish them from phones 3-4 times more expensive. And due to more embossed than streamlined ribs, the smartphone does not strive to run away from the hand to the floor.

3 GB RAM

In general, Vivo Y11 cannot be called a child of economy. It’s not the most powerful, but quite performant hardware: Snapdragon 439 is approximately the same as Snapdragon 625 and performed well in the recent Redmi 8, and 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage with memory card support look good by the standards of an ultra-low-cost smartphone. Also a good 6.35-inch screen with a decent margin of brightness, a smart fingerprint scanner, a good dual camera and an excellent earpiece. The interlocutor is heard so clearly and legibly, as if he is sitting in the same room.

Not without flaws

At the same time, there were some drawbacks: the display is rather grainy (the resolution is only 1544x720 with a diagonal of 6.35"), the front camera is so-so, and the external speaker is quite weak, in order to listen to music or watch movies normally, it is better to connect headphones right away. In general, if you are looking for an inexpensive balanced smartphone with good battery life, then pay attention to Vivo Y11.
