vivo brings to the Philippines a new smartphone designed to reinvent entry-level smartphone experience for Filipinos. The vivo Y01 boasts upgraded 5000mAh battery capacity, a larger, high-definition screen with 6.51”inch FullView display and stylish design, a mobile phone all-rounder that is easy on the budget.

The vivo Y01 outclasses the previous model in its range, the Y1S, offering users longer and uninterrupted hours of use and better features. At 163.96×75.2×8.28mm and 178g, the vivo Y01 is the thinnest and lightest phone in its price range.

Longer battery life for all your mobile phone needs

The vivo Y01’s large-capacity 5,000mAh battery (TYP) can power long hours of browsing, movie streaming and gaming. A single full charge can deliver 18.74 hours of video streaming and 7.89 hours of intensive gaming even when the phone is running on full power with Wi-Fi connection, 150cd/m2 screen brightness and 63dB (A) volume.

But the vivo Y01’s battery does more than that.

It is also engineered to enable 5V/1A reverse charging. This means the vivo Y01 can be used to charge other devices as well much like a power bank!

Wider screen for immersive viewing

Upgrading from the Y1s’ 6.22-inch screen, the vivo Y01 packs a 6.51-inch LCD FullView™ display with a 1600×720-pixel resolution, best for viewing images, videos and files.

The vivo Y01 will automatically adjust the phone’s brightness based on ambient conditions. It also comes with Eye Protection Mode filters to protect users from eye strain and harmful blue light when online work or classes demand long hours of screen use.

For an even richer gaming experience, the exclusive Multi-Turbo 3.0 feature optimizes core scenes to reduce stuttering and lags. When running multiple applications simultaneously, the vivo Y01 will allocate and prioritize CPU and internal storage at 32GB ROM to ensure smooth and steady performance.

Stylish and comfortable design

Among the phones in its price range, the vivo Y01 is vivo’s thinnest and lightest variant yet. The slim phone comes with a 3D back cover for a sleek yet comfortable hold. Weighing only 178g, the vivo Y01 is portable enough to be carried everywhere and anywhere, anytime.

The vivo Y01 comes in two color variants: Elegant Black, a classic shade that never fails to impress and charm; and Sapphire Blue, the chic option, inspired from the natural luster of sapphire for that youthful vibe.

Modern experiences at an entry-level price

The vivo Y01 captures all your special moments with its 8MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. Both cameras support a range of photo modes from time lapse to face beauty. The Bokeh mode lets users create photos extra trendy and worthy for the gram.

Users can take as many photos and videos as they want. The vivo Y01’s triple card slot accommodates two SIM cards and a microSD card for memory expansion of up to 1TB, allowing for an even larger memory capacity.

In addition, the vivo Y01 comes with FaceWake, a face recognition ID that easily unlocks the phones when it is picked up. For busy users, the iManager serves as a mobile butler than clean up space or scans issues at night to keep the phone in good shape for even better performance the next day.

The vivo Y01 is now available for only Php5,299 at vivo stores nationwide. The first 1,000 customers will also receive FOMEE earphones with their new smartphone.
