Vivo Y17: Specs & Features

The handset sports a tall 6.5-inch LCD HD+ screen with 1,544 x 720p resolution and a 19.3:9 aspect ratio. It is powered by an octa-core MTK Helio P35 chipset built on the 12nm process, paired with 4GB of RAM / 128GB of storage but there might be more options in the future.

In terms of camera, the phone features a triple camera setup which is probably its biggest selling point. The setup includes a 13MP primary camera with f/2.2 aperture, an 8MP wide-angle shooter with f/2.2 aperture, and a third 2MP depth unit. Vivo said that the AI Super Wide-Angle Camera has a 120-degree field of vision. However, after accounting for distortion, it can only capture 108 degrees. Up front, there is a 20MP selfie camera with an aperture of f/2.0.

Other notable features include a massive 5,000mAh cell with support for 18W Dual-Engine fast charging and Android 9 Pie-based FunTouch OS 9.0. It is the first phone from the brand to come with that monstrous battery. In order to improve its gaming performance, the company decides to equip it with Ultra Game Mode that can allocate the system resources. Lastly, the handset comes with a fingerprint scanner on the rear along with gradient finish at its back.
