vivo Y35 First Impressions

vivo Y35 is one of the newest mid-range smartphones from the company and it packs a lot of interesting features inside including a large 5000mAh battery, a 44W fast charging, and also a sexy design that resembles the vivo V25 series today, we’ll give you a first look of the smartphone.

The vivo Y35 features a design that is similar to the vivo V25 but there’s no Photochromic 2.0 back panel on this one which is just fine as the design alone of the smartphone is already stylish for me. The vivo Y35 that we got comes in Dawn Gold and the reflection and its textured design do look pretty especially when you look at it from different angles.

The camera module does look the same as the vivo V25 but this one houses different cameras. It features a 50MP main camera along with 2MP depth camera and 2MP macro camera but the mirror finish on the camera module of the smartphone is really a nice touch, especially when taking selfies using the rear camera of the smartphone.

As for the frame, the smartphone comes with a flat frame on the sides and below is where you can find the USB-C port and also the headphone jack and speaker grill. The addition of the headphone jack on the smartphone is a nice touch as well as you can still use your wired headphones on the smartphone for better quality and calls. 

As for the display of the vivo Y35, the smartphone comes with a 6.58-inch Full HD+ display with a small teardrop notch at the top. Not really a deal breaker for me but there’s no higher refresh rate on the display of the smartphone and there’s no AMOLED panel on this one as well.

When it comes to the hardware inside the smartphone, it’s a decent one and it can run most apps and play casual and light games thanks to the Snapdragon 680 processor inside it. Along with that is the 8GB RAM of the smartphone and also the 256GB of internal storage. The smartphone also features 8GB of extended RAM so not only did I have bigger storage but I was able to open more apps simultaneously and multi-task without problems.

When it comes to the camera, the smartphone’s camera isn’t its best feature. Yes, the vivo Y35 features a 50MP main camera and also a 16MP front-facing camera but the quality of this one is a far cry from the vivo V series smartphones. Posting these photos on social media is just fine but don’t expect the sharpest photos and the perfect colors. Here are some of the shots that we took using the smartphone:

Verdict

The vivo Y35 is the latest smartphone from the company and for a smartphone for everyday use, the vivo Y35 won’t be a problem. It also features a nice design and an entry-level processor that can run most apps and games. The camera isn’t perfect but it will do just fine however, there’s no ultra wide camera on this one. Still, it’s a decent smartphone for everyday usage.

The vivo Y35 is now available in the market for Php14,999
