What makes the Y-series good entry-level offerings from vivo? Here’s a breakdown on what we like about them:
Optimized cameras. Despite being entry-level offerings, vivo made an effort to optimize the camera hardware of the Y-series to bring out the best imaging performance. The Y36, Y27, and Y17s all come with a 50-megapixel main camera that offer good photography performance in most lighting conditions.

Beyond photography, the Y36, Y27, and Y17s have EIS built in, giving you more stable Full HD footage that’s usable for your content creation journey.
Striking color options. To distinguish themselves from the competition, vivo offers a good selection of color options for the Y-series that make them shine in a sea of phones that look almost similar. These color options range from the crystal-like Glitter Aqua on the Y36, a sleek Burgundy Black with gold accents on the Y27, a bright Glitter Purple on the Y17s, or a shiny Cosmic Gold on the Y02T–all having their unique charm and appeal.
Generous storage options. All of vivo’s Y-series phones come with a MicroSD card slot for up to 1TB storage expansion. The base Y02T comes with 64GB storage–which is good for an under Php 5k phone–while the Y36 gives you a generous 256GB storage for storing all the apps and media files you want.
Good battery life. All of vivo’s Y-series phones come with a 5000mAh battery as standard, and our tests on both the Y27 and Y36 show that they can last for more than a day on moderate use. All of them come with a modern USB-C port, with the Y27 and Y36 giving you a speedy 44w charging solution for fast battery top-ups.
Peace of mind from the elements. To match with what the competition has to offer, vivo’s Y-series come with an IP54 rating, making these entry-level devices handles accidental water splashes without any worries and gives users added peace of mind.
