Vivo Y3 With Triple Cameras & Helio P35 Reportedly Comes To China Soon

China-based Vivo has just announced a new addition to its budget Vivo Y-series called Vivo Y17. A fresh leak has just surfaced online revealing that the Chinese company might introduce another smartphone in the Y series, dubbed Vivo Y3. The handset is said to come to the company’s home country pretty soon.

Vivo Y3: Rumored launch date

As per the leak, the upcoming Vivo Y3 will come with a price tag of around RMB 1,400 (around Rs. 14,300) in the Chinese market. The leaked render shows that the Vivo Y3 will feature a dewdrop notch on its display which is quite similar to what we have seen on the recent smartphones in the Y series. At the rear, the handset has a triple camera system and a fingerprint scanner. Beside the Peach Powder colour variant that we are seeing on the render, it is said to come in Peacock Blue variant as well.

Just like other budget handsets from the company, the Vivo Y3 will reportedly come with polycarbonate build. The exact launch date of the phone hasn’t been confirmed yet, but we believe that it will go official in the Chinese market before the end of May.

Vivo Y3: Expected Specifications

The handset is expected to come with a 6.36-inch HD+ display with a water-drop notch on top. There is an octa-core Helio P35 SoC ticking at its core clubbed with either 4GB of RAM / 64GB of storage or 4GB of RAM / 128GB of storage which is user expandable up to 256GB using a microSD card.

In terms of camera, the new leak suggests that the handset will come with a triple camera setup, including a 13MP primary camera, 8MP secondary camera, and a 2MP third camera. There will also be an 8MP selfie camera placed on the water-drop notch on the front with AI Portrait mode. Powering the handset will be a monstrous 5,000 mAh battery with support for fast charging. The handset will reportedly measure 159.43x76.77.8.92 mm and have a micro-USB port instead of a USB-C one. While the operating software version of the Vivo Y3 hasn’t been leaked yet, it is highly likely that the device will boot Vivo’s Funtoch 9 at launch which is based on the latest Android 9 Pie.
