Smartphone Vivo Y90 - advantages and disadvantages

The smartphone market is full of various cutting-edge models. Some offer a sharp and sensitive camera, others offer a powerful processor, a durable battery, or all at once. The higher the characteristics and more additional functions, the greater the cost of the gadget. But not everyone can afford such an expensive pleasure. Vivo Y90 is a budget smartphone. It combines both reasonable cost and optimal performance. This includes a quad-core processor, front and rear cameras, a large battery, a 6.22-inch screen and an IPS matrix. For new games or creative work, such a phone is hardly suitable, but as an additional device (for example, to watch a movie or surf on social networks), the Vivo Y90 is ideal.

• liquid crystal display (IPS) protects the user's eyes and significantly reduces the load on them, and also provides comfortable and high-quality work in the dark and under direct ultraviolet rays;
• the diagonal is 6.22, which is not the best performance in the smartphone market, but the larger the diagonal, the larger the phone and the space it takes. In this case, the screen has a width of 75.09 mm. and length - 155.11 mm;
• display resolution - 720 x 1520. It is this indicator that is responsible for the picture quality and pixel density.However, it also puts a strain on battery endurance and graphics accelerator;

cameras

This characteristic of a modern user is one of the main criteria for choosing a smartphone. However, for those who wish to use the gadget for photography, Vivo Y90 will not work. His figures by modern standards are more than modest. Rear camera - 8 MP, f / 2.0, autofocus, LED flash, video: Front - 5 MP, f / 1.8, Video: 720p

Advantages and disadvantages

Not everyone can correctly recognize which of the characteristics are at a positive level, and which are below the standard. Therefore, it is necessary to divide them into pros and cons.

• The possibility of unlocking by the face of the owner;
• On the one hand, the screen is not large and is only 6.22 inches with an aspect ratio of 19.5 to 9. On the other hand, such dimensions do not overload the user's hand and allow you to comfortably watch videos, read e-books and surf the Internet resources;
• Display resolution 1544 x 720 with an IPS type matrix. These indicators guarantee a good picture with excellent color reproduction and a wide viewing angle. At the same time, the IPS system protects the user's vision in different situations.
• Pleasant and modern exterior design, but not overloaded with gradients and bright colors;
• Despite the limited internal memory, it is possible to insert several types of SD cards to increase the volume up to 256 GB.
• The main distinguishing feature of Vivo Y90 is a capacious and durable battery. Its capacity is 4030 mAh. Considering that the smartphone is not capable of supporting voracious games and powerful shooting, the battery will last a long time without charging even with active use, since power consumption will be minimal. The only drawback is the lack of a fast charging function, but the budget class does not imply its presence.The device can be charged via microUSB.
• For a budget model, the Vivo Y90 has excellent specs. It is safe to say that the manufacturer was able to optimize the ratio of cost and quality.

• The main drawback of the Y90 is a weak processor. MediaTek Helio A22 has four cores and only 2GB of RAM. At the same time, the chipset, as usual for the brand, was manufactured according to the 12 nm process technology with the function of the Artificial Intelligence system. This entire range is capable of producing uninterrupted operation of only office applications, social networks and weak simple games.
• Cameras. Anyone who wants high-quality selfies will be dissatisfied with the capabilities of the vivo Y90. Yes, and many are already accustomed to several cameras at the same time, which improves the quality and viewing angle.
• The RAM is only 2 GB, which means that the phone will not be able to work actively and for a long time without slowdowns and freezes.
• In the modern smartphone market, they are already used to protecting devices from third parties with a fingerprint scanner, it is not here

Release date and estimated cost

The start of sales has already been noted in Pakistan, followed by India and other parts of the world. The official sale of originals in some Eastern European countries is still in question. To be honest, this model was not well received in Russia either.

You can buy the gadget in black or gold. The only question left is cost. It is difficult to name it exactly, but on average it is $ 120 if all currencies are converted to a single international one. For this price you can find other competitive models.However, in the budget smartphone market, the Vivo Y90 has every chance to gain a foothold among those users who do not expect photographic miracles or super-high performance from it.
