An update to the already existing Vivo Y93 smartphone has just been recently released and comes with a better spec sheet. However, the smartphone still maintains a similar look to the former release. The smartphone comes with a MediaTek chipset rather than the Qualcomm SoC on the Vivo Y93. Furthermore, the camera, battery, display size and resolution stays the same on both smartphones. Although, you get to enjoy more storage space and better performance on the new Vivo Y93s.

Design and Display
Rocking the gradient look, the smartphone looks very much like its predecessor with a nice plastic body and impressive finish. Only the camera along with the LED flash and Vivo branding can be seen on the rear of the phone. It also adopts the reigning slim 19:9 aspect ratio build, which makes the phone easier to handle despite the large screen. There is the fancy dewdrop notch on top of the screen too which leaves more room for visuals compared to the larger cut out notch.
The smartphone retains the large display from the Vivo Y93 and also comes with the average resolution on the smartphone too. You’ve got a 6.2-inch dewdrop notched screen with a bit of a chin and reduced side bezels. Visuals are satisfactory at a budget level with the 1520 x 720 pixels on the LCD panel.
Battery and Camera
There is no denying that the battery on the smartphone is more than average at least in capacity if not any other thing. This would offer the usual all day use a smartphone should offer from 4, 030mAh battery on board. No indication of fast charge on the smartphone, however, it comes with a MicroUSB port to plug into
Concerning photography on the Vivo Y93, you will find out there is really nothing out of the ordinary. Instead, it is able to take just decent pictures only with enough light though. Inside the halo notch lies the 8MP camera which is also used for face unlock and takes good enough selfies. More so, the rear is home to two cameras which includes a main 13MP sensor and a 2MP depth sensor.
Hardware and Software
Vivo switches things up and goes for this year’s Helio P22 chipset from MediaTek rather than the Qualcomm SoC featured earlier. This is combined with a large 128GB of storage space and a sustainable 4GB RAM. It could tale up to 256GB with memory card. However, it has Funtouch OS 4.5 which corresponds to Android 8.1 Oreo.
Vivo Y93s Pricing and Availability
The smartphone sells for about 90, 000 Naira depending on the deal and your location.
