A couple of weeks ago, we reported that Vivo is gearing up to launch a new smartphone under its Y-series — Vivo Y17. Today, the company has officially launched the Vivo Y17 in the Indian market.
The smartphone comes with a 6.35-inch HD+ LCD display with a waterdrop notch on top. It offers 1520 x 720 pixels screen resolution and 19.3:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the device is powered by MediaTek Helio P35 octa-core processor, which is manufactured using the 12nm process.
The chipset is coupled with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. In the camera department, the device features a triple camera array on the back panel. It consists of an 8 MP wide-angle lens, a 13 MP primary sensor, and a 2 MP depth sensor.
On the front side, the handset features a 20 MP snapper with AI Super Wide-Angle Camera and has a 120-degree field of view support and f/2.0 aperture. Coming to the software, it is running Android 9 Pie operating system out of the box with the company’s own FunTouch custom interface on top.
Connectivity options on the device include Dual SIM, 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n/ac dual-band (2.4GHz and 5 GHz), Bluetooth 5.0, FM Radio, GPS, and a micro USB port. It also comes with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.
