Design and Display

The design aspect of the Vivo Y71t may not be great in the first impression since most of the recent Vivo phones equips the same layout. The glossiness gives the different looks and provides decent texture. Alongside this, the back panel feels like glass, but it’s the plastic body. The phone is exclusively available in two marvelous colors options for the shade option.

It includes the premium Aurora and Blue shade as usual. You get to choose Aurora shade for aesthetic looks since it gives the aurora lighting effects. On the other hand, you can also pick the standard Blue variant. As for the built quality, the smooth design with a lightweight layout has always been the unique selling point for the Vivo brand, and the Vivo Y71t fulfills that criteria.

As for the front display, you will attain punchy colors that are enriched due to the entry of the 6.4-inches AMOLED panel. However, the 600 brightness nits are worth noting as you can see content outdoors without any problem, while the screen offers FHD+ resolution. Although, the phone is missing the HDR content support with advanced refresh rate rendering. Besides this, there’s no sign of corning gorilla glass protection on board.

Memory and Internal

The memory aspect brings the sufficient requirement of storage and RAM since you are getting an 8GB RAM that will handle the performance factor behind the scene. On the other hand, you are also getting ample 128GB to 256GB internal storage that ensures that you store lots of media data without any hassle. Although, the availability of the secondary internal storage (MicroSD) is not confirmed.

The software layering of the Android 11 attains numerous customization features with the OriginOS 1.0 skin. With this setup, you can create your personalized interface in which you can change everything from wallpaper to try out different themes that fit according to your taste. But still, there is bloatware waiting for you in the ambush.

Apart from this, the hardware section obtains the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G chipset that renders smooth 5G connectivity bands, and the processing powers reach up to 2.4GHz cloaking speed. Although, the gaming experience would be mediocre due to the average GPU setup. However, it doesn’t mean that you can’t play a high-end game. Except, the visual quality won’t reach its potential.

Camera

The Vivo smartphone’s camera result most time stays up to the mark and provides decent detailed images with downgrading the AI software limits. As for the Vivo Y71t, the image processing can still go par with regular mid-range phones where you will notice punchy colors, crispy contrast, and lots of exposures, which at the end renders a dynamic range of photos and videos.

The daylight photos from the primary 64MP sensor give decent output for starters. Besides this, you will also receive tons of custom features, filters, and modes in the native camera app that will improvise the overall photography experience. Following that, the camera module also includes a standard 8MP ultra-wide sensor that captures impressive wide-angle shots precisely.

Aside from this, the 16MP selfie camera lens equips with similar features as the primary sensors. Although the camera quality didn’t stay constant all over the modes, the daylight photos are great. Despite that, the video recording aspect is not on the level of the competition, as it lacks the power to record 4K videos. Hopefully, the video stabilization and HDR recording are present under the hood.

Battery and Others

The makers introduce a Li-Po 4000 mAh battery that renders more than 5+ hours of screen endurance in the continuous playback. Besides this, you can also play games for more than 2+ hours without hassle. With this setup, you won’t get any issue binge-watching series or scrolling to social media feeds. Moreover, the users will obtain a 44W fast charging speed that makes the phone fuel in less than an hour.

Lastly, let’s talk about the additional feature that will unveil the true power of this phone. For starters, the sound output falls in the average level, while the comms and sensors are top-notch so that the UI experience would be great. Alongside this, the Vivo Y71t also featured USB Type-C 2.0 charging port with OTG support. Although, there’s no info about the NFC features. In terms of the price point, the phone cost around $279 (Rs 19,999 in India) Approx.
