Conclusion

The Vivo Y35 smartphone is just like any other 4G smartphone that will provide a decent set of hardware. But you won’t receive the latest Android version here, nor does the screen got proper brightness support. The phone is a mediocre deal overall, and you won’t find that many features since it’s a mid-range phone. Besides this, the price point is slightly higher than other mainstream brands’ offerings.

You can get better deals at the same price point, and even the other brand phones would work better than this phone. In our opinion, we won’t recommend this Y35 4G phone. Instead of that, you can check out the Realme 10 which comes with the almost same price and a better deal. Finally, go through other phones as well so that you can make the right decision that fits your budget.
