Vivo has launched in the country one of its newest mid-range selfie-centric smartphones that sports a 5.5-inch display, MT6750 octa-core CPU, 3GB RAM, and 16MP front camera with on-screen flash – the Vivo Y69. Check out our initial thoughts about the device below.

At first glance, the Vivo Y69 looks premium especially the gold model thanks to its metallic paint job. Although made of plastic, it feels solid and easy to handle with one hand. The chrome lining surrounding the frame adds luster and grip to the device.

Up front is a 5.5-inch HD display which equates to 267ppi. Resolution is decent although colors are inclined towards the cooler side and could use some boost. Placed above the display are the receiver, sensor, the 16MP camera and LED flash.

Down below is the capacitive Home button that also acts as a fingerprint scanner, and two lit capacitive buttons at the left and right sides for navigation.

On the left side is the triple card tray, while on the right are the volume and power/lock keys.

The top side is devoid of any buttons, while the bottom part houses the headset jack, main microphone, microUSB port, and loudspeaker.

Flip it on its back and you will see the 13MP main shooter and LED flash. Also visible at the top and bottom are the white antenna bands.

Powering the Vivo Y69 is a MediaTek MT6750 octa-core CPU, 3GB RAM, and FunTouch OS 3.2 which is based on Android 7.0 Nougat. A quick AnTuTu benchmark test yielded a score of 40,169.

The Vivo Y69 is priced at Php10,990 and is available in Black and Gold colors.

I’ve this for a couple of weeks already and use it daily. I’m quite satisfied with its performance and how it meets my needs as a user. I havent experienced any lags or hanging ng unit.

Decent phone, garbage charger, it took 3 days for my charger to malfunction, it would turn on and off and then just stay off. When I took it to get a replacement it miraculously worked. They told me my outlet was not strong enough, but it’s plenty strong to charge it with an off brand charger.

Same with mine. I change the chord and it works. I thought I was the one who experienced such inconvenience.

I bought mine last sept… Ok nmn medyo nag ha-hang need pa i off ang screen then i turn on ulit mra maayos… Pixels sa gaming medyo di maganda average… Sounds average… Battery life ok nmn tumatagal ng mga ilang oras depende sa gamit… Charging depende sa charger na gamit atleast dpt 1.5 amp

Same with mine. Hindi ako satisfy sa kanya kasi nagla-lag talaga lalo na sa online games. Mabilis ding mapuno yung internal memory nya na 32 gb. Nakakaloka. Siguro yung apk na naka-install doon is matataas talaga.

Sakin din nagla-lag lalo na sa PUBG. Iyon na lang bukod tanging game sa phone ko kasi nag-uninstall na ako at marami-rami na yon. Pero still lagging pa rin kahit kaka-start mo pa lang ng laro. Minsa na-disconnect pa bigla bigla kaya yun pagbalik mo sa game talo ka na. Mabilis din syang uminit. Then yung Camera niya parag hindi muna kamukha yung result, nawawala pa yung canal na malapit sa nguso natin kapag ginamit mo yung beauty features nila. Mukha ka ng taga-Biringan City. Yung basic specs okay naman so far. Mabilis siyang ma-lowbat kapag online games yung nilalaro mo. Baka hindi talaga siya pang-online games. Ibebenta ko na nga yung sakin eh.
