Today, we'll put it side-by-side with the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 to see which one is the better pick in terms of key smartphone aspects. Performance-wise, it should be obvious that it is the Max Pro M1 that gets the crown since it is powered by a mid-range chipset while the Y91i only has an entry-level one. Gaming performance goes to the Max Pro M1 as well since, based on my experience, there were more frame drops with an Adreno 505 GPU than with the Adreno 509. The Max Pro M1 has the upper-hand in terms of battery capacity but the Y91i's isn't that bad either. The VIVO Y91i is priced at PHP 8,490 while the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 (3GB) is priced at PHP 8,995.
