If you’re looking for a decent under Php 10k budget phone outside of our recommendations, you might want to check out the Y22s, as vivo made the 4GB/128GB variant more affordable at Php 9,999. If you need more RAM, the 8GB/128GB variant is also available for Php 11,999. Both vivo Y22s variants get a Php 1k price cut from their original SRP.

With its new price, this makes the Y22s more compelling, as its Snapdragon 680 processor is a fitting choice for phones priced at under Php 10k. Aside from that, you’re also getting a 6.55-inch HD+ 90hz IPS display and a triple rear camera setup at the back that’s led by a 50-megapixel main shooter. For selfies, you have an 8-megapixel shooter housed in a notch that’s accompanied by vivo’s selfie software algorithm for flattering shots even at night. x

The slim budget phone does have a 5000mAh battery inside that has support for 18w USB-C charging. You also get an IP54 rating for peace of mind, along with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and Android 13-based FunTouch OS 12.

You can buy the vivo Y22s at its new price (for both 4GB and 8GB variants) at Lazada, Shopee, and vivo E-Store.
