Before the global unveiling of the V15 Pro, vivo launched a new phone line in China called the U series. The first model under the new line is the U1 and looks very familiar: that is because it is a Y91 with a few differences.
One of the main differences is that the U1 comes in three variants: aside from the 3GB/32GB model, there are also 3GB/64GB and 4GB/64GB variants as well. Save for that, it shares the same specs with the Y91: Snapdragon 439, 6.22-inch display, 13-megapixel and 2-megapixel rear cameras, 8-megapixel front camera, and a 4030mAh battery.
