Vivo Y19 128 GB / 4 GB

Smartphone strong mid-range with an interesting "iron" set of components and a very remarkable appearance. At the head of the “facade” of the model is a “high” screen with a diagonal size of 6.53" and a resolution of 2340x1080 pixels (display aspect ratio is 19.5:9). It uses the popular waterdrop notch technique for the 16 MP selfie camera. All other photographic tasks are successfully solved by a combination of 16 + 8 + 2 MP cameras from the rear (the leading sensor in combination with an ultra-wide (120 °) and a macro lens).
In the company of the "three-story" main photomodule there is also a fingerprint scanner platform (used to unlock the device by fingerprint pattern). The most curious, as usual, is hidden inside the Vivo Y19. And it's a high performance MediaTek Helio P65 chipset along with 4/128GB storage. "Iron" will pull the lion's share of modern mobile games and will not let you down in the mode of performing everyday tasks. A solid 5000 mAh battery with support for fast charging (18 W) completes the picture of the model.
At the technological forefront
The Chinese brand Vivo has an interesting approach to the release of smartphones. If Xiaomi takes its low price, and Huawei is famous for its cameras, then Vivo likes to play with new technologies. It was they who were among the first to launch smartphones with retractable selfie cameras on the market and it was they who began to hide fingerprint scanners under the screen. The new Vivo Y19, despite the modest price tag, stands out with interesting gaming features and reverse charging (allows you to share energy with other smartphones via USB), which is usually found only in flagship smartphones.
Decent performance
The model was equipped with a fairly successful mid-range chip MediaTek Helio P65. It is manufactured on a 12nm process, uses higher-quality Mali-G52 graphics, supports artificial intelligence algorithms to save battery life and improve camera performance. In terms of power, it can be compared with the fresh Snapdragon 710: in the AnTuTu benchmark, the smartphone scored 185,000 “points”. Most recently, top-end smartphones had such performance. Throw in another 4 GB of RAM, 128 GB of built-in storage with an expansion slot, and you get a performant smartphone that even demanding games will not confuse.
Gaming features
Speaking of games. The updated Funtouch OS shell has a special game mode in which you can block all factors distracting from games: calls, SMS, notifications in instant messengers, etc. This will surely come in handy for fans of online toys like PUGB, Fortnite and WOT. Also in game mode, you can tweak the performance and network settings, “put out” all resource-intensive applications at once, and even change your voice in game chats.
microUSB instead of USB-C
All this suggests that Vivo tried to make a really inexpensive gaming smartphone without advertising it in any way. Naturally, for the sake of price, something had to be sacrificed. In this case, a USB-C port was put under the knife, which for many will be a critical factor when choosing. But the IPS-display is quite good for its money here: the colours are saturated, the contrast level is high, the resolution is high. Well, do not forget about the NFC chip for contactless payments and a capacious 5000 mAh battery (enough for 2 days of active use) with fast 18-watt charging. However due to the outdated microUSB port, the smartphone needs more than two hours to fully charge.
