Vivo Y18t Debuts with Segment’s Brightest 90Hz LCD, 50MP Camera, IP54-rating

The Vivo Y18t is the latest addition to the Y18 series, marking the fourth installment in this lineup. Recently launched in an overseas market, this entry-level phone offers a balanced mix of features at an affordable price, roughly €100.

The device features a 6.56-inch IPS display with HD+ resolution. While the resolution is modest, the 90Hz refresh rate ensures smoother visuals, enhancing the user experience. The 850 nits brightness sets it apart in its segment, and the 8 MP front camera housed in a notched cutout is a practical addition at this price point.

On the rear, the Vivo Y18t sports a 50 MP primary camera paired with an auxiliary lens for enhanced photography. The camera design, with lenses rising directly from the chassis, follows the familiar aesthetics of the Y18 series.

Key features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button and an IP54 rating, offering resistance against dust and water splashes. The phone packs a robust 5000mAh battery, supported by 15W fast charging through a USB Type-C port.

The Vivo Y18t shares similarities with the Y18i, including the Unisoc T612 processor, but it offers notable upgrades. These include higher brightness, an improved 50 MP camera, Bluetooth 5.2, and double the base storage. Priced at approximately €105 (~PKR 31,000) for the 4/128 GB variant, it costs just €15 more than the Y18i, making it an appealing choice for budget-conscious buyers.
