Vivo Y69 Hands-on, First Impressions

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.
