Vivo Y72 Review, Pros and Cons – The new Vivo Y series smartphone arrives in Thailand with the brand name Vivo Y72 5G. As you may have guessed, the device is a mid-range smartphone that offers 5G technology support. As a mid-level device, you can expect many things, the initial batch of the device goes on sale on March 31.

But now the question remains that is worth buying this device or not. So, to understand, here is the complete review of Vivo Y72 smartphone, let’s begin an in-depth review.

Vivo Y72 Review

Highlights

  1. The Vivo Y72 features a standard 6.58 inches IPS LCD panel that offers impressive Full HD resolution.
  2. In terms of the battery pack, you will receive a huge Li-Po 5000 mAh battery covering the charging speed of 18W.
  3. The phone also offers robust performance through the 7nm MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G chipset.
  4. As for the software section, the Funtouch 11.1 interface comes with the latest Android 11 skin.
  5. A 64 MP triple camera setup introduced a strip-like camera module offering an interestingly new layout.

Design and Display

The appearance of the Vivo Y72 5G looks like a cool autumn breeze, and the design of the camera’s update module makes the design aspect more transcendent. In addition, the phone offers a fast and convenient side-mounted fingerprint reader. On the other hand, there are two-tone colors from which you can choose the most preferred one.

Graphite Black comes with a slightly shiny touch experience and provides a professional look while Dream Glow flows into the sophisticated category. Both models have unique characteristics that make each one different. However, you will notice fingerprint smudge stains if you are using the phone without the protective cover.

Now that I’ve talked about protection, you won’t see the gorilla glass protection here. The 6.58 inches IPS LCD technology display ensures that the screen produces a decent pixel density and improves the Full HD viewing experience. Although, the brightness rating is a bit low compared to regular standards.

Memory and Internal

The internal configuration of the Vivo Y72 phone is compatible with the 7nm Dimensity 700 5G chipset, and with this hardware, you will have no problems in multitasking. You can even play with medium-level settings. Although the phone did not offer an advanced refresh rate, still, the 60 Hz refresh rate seems perfectly adequate.

In addition to the hardware, the graphics rendering is impeccable, considering the price. On that note, you will receive the blessing of Funtouch 11.1 UI based on Android 11 OS. Random bloatware apps might decrease the user experience unless you are unfamiliar with the Vivo interface.

In terms of storage choice, you will only get a single variant of 8 GB of RAM coupled with the internal storage of 128 GB. It’s more than enough and you can easily shoot a long 4K video without worrying about storage. Fortunately, you can expand the storage limit via the shared Micro SD slot. But if the company deploys a dedicated slot, it would be more beneficial.

Camera

Image processing through the Vivo Y72 5G device is not so terrible, while the AI ​​software handles everything accurately and presents magnificent results in suitable lights. The same thing applies to low light and you will notice less distortion in the images. As for HDR, it will definitely improve image quality.

But the software that renders both side cameras and offers decent quality according to its price. In addition, it can be a tough fight for some of the decent flagship smartphones with just their raw image processing. Speaking of video recording, the phone will take 4K videos with gyro-EIS setup. Therefore, it is possible to make videos with more stability.

On the triple camera, 64MP primary camera offers decent photography. On the other hand, the dynamic range maintained by the 8MP camera which can take 120-degree ultrawide photos with the added touch of a 2MP macro lens. The front camera has a 16MP teardrop notch selfie camera that renders 1080p video recordings with an inbuild HDR feature.

Battery and Others

Surprisingly, there is less power-consuming software on the Vivo Y72 smartphone. Therefore, the Li-Po 5000 mAh battery will remain active for more than 6 hours or more on a single charge via the 18W fast charger. You have to wait about an hour and a half to fill the battery from zero to its maximum limit. In addition, you will have immersive screen time to have fun with gaming, videos, and internet surfing.

Currently, the Vivo Y72 phone is only viable at a price of $ 320 (Rs 23,000) approx. If the company plans to sell this device in another market, they can change the name or downgrade or update depending up on the market.

The Vivo Y72 smartphone fits in the range of affordable 5G smartphones and, in terms of specifications, the price is quite expected, since you will have an impressive camera and battery. Like most Vivo phones, you will notice the premium thin and light design. But the most interesting thing is that the camera module is completely unique.

However, it is difficult to recommend if you are looking for a more performance-oriented experience and for gaming. It is not as if the Vivo Y72 does not have the subtle processing power, but it lacks in many things. However, if you are looking for a simple 5G phone with a touch of photography, you can go for the Vivo Y72. But if you are looking for an alternative, the Realme V11 5G is also a good choice in the same price range.
