Vivo has launched yet another smartphone in its wallet-friendly Y-series range in the form of the Vivo Y56 5G aimed at everyday users searching for a 5G device on a budget that offers an attractive design, dependable performance and good camera capabilities. Here’s what makes the Vivo Y56 5G a smart pick in the sub-₹20,000 segment:
Slim Look and Great Display
The Y63 5G brings the best of “fashion and function” with its stylish design and lean 8.15mm profile that weighs 184 grams. The back, which comes in colors like Orange Shimmer and Black Engine, is a matte finish that looks modern and repels fingerprints.
On the front, the device features a 6.58-inch Full HD+ LCD display with 2408 × 1080 pixels resolution. This screen is nice and clear with accurate color, so it’s perfect for watching videos, surfing and a little casual gaming. Fine, it’s no amoled, but it is plenty bright for indoor and outdoor use.
Reliable 5G Performance
Internally, the chip providing horsepower to the Y56 5G is MediaTek’s Dimensity 700, which is a solid 7nm chip that offers a great performance-to-efficiency ratio. It is accompanied by up to 8GB of RAM and up to 128GB internal storage, which can be expanded up to 1TB using a microSD card slot.
The phone is also equipped with Extended RAM technology, which lets users transform up to 8GB of internal storage into virtual RAM for better multitasking. It is based on the Android 13 with Funtouch OS 13 that offers a simple and easy to use interface along with bunch of customization options.
Camera Capabilities
The dual-rear-camera setup on the Y56 5G consists a 50MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor, mounted together in a rectangular module with the branding. The primary camera takes detailed photos in well-lit conditions, and portrait mode helps achieve natural-looking bokeh. There’s a night mode that helps visibility when it’s dark, but again, the results are basic in contrast to more expensive handsets.
Video calls and selfies are taken care of by a 16MP selfie camera on the front. It comes with AI beautification and other filters, so it performs OK for social media.
Battery Life and Fast Charging
The 5000mAh battery of the Vivo Y56 5G is one of its strengths, it can easily be used a full day on moderate usage. If you’re surfing, watching and receiving GPS directions, the battery is a champ.
And when you need to recharge, it does so with 18W fast charging through USB Type-C. It charges to full in about 90 minutes, which is reasonable considering the price range.
