vivo just dropped its newest smartphone, the Y04s, in Indonesia. This budget-friendly 4G phone is built to last, packs a big battery, and offers decent performance for everyday use. It seems like a solid choice for those who need a phone that can keep up with their busy lives without breaking the bank.
This phone is surprisingly tough for its price point. It has an IP64 rating for water and dust resistance, meaning it can handle dust and splashes from any direction. Plus, it meets MIL-STD-810H military-grade durability standards. This lets the phone work well in tough spots, like extreme heat or cold, humidity, rain, sand, or strong vibrations. The back cover even has a cool Crystalline Matte texture. The phone itself is 8.19 mm thin and weighs 202 grams.
The Y04s features a large 6.74-inch LCD screen. It offers HD+ resolution at 1600 x 720 pixels. The display can refresh at 60Hz or 90Hz, making scrolling and animations look smooth. It also gets fairly bright, reaching a peak of 570 nits.
For photos, the phone has a 13-megapixel main camera. There is also a QVGA camera to help with basic shots. On the front, you will find a 5-megapixel camera for selfies.
Under the hood, the vivo Y04s is powered by the Unisoc T612 chip. This processor was released in 2022 and is made using 12-nanometer technology. It can reach speeds up to 1.8 GHz. The phone comes with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM. You can even add another 4GB of virtual RAM if you need more. It also includes 64GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. If that is not enough, you can expand it up to 1TB using a MicroSD card.
The Y04s runs Funtouch OS 14 right out of the box. This custom software is built on the latest Android 14 system. It should offer a smooth and up-to-date user experience.
One of the biggest selling points is its battery. The vivo Y04s packs a massive 6,000 mAh battery. It supports 15W FlashCharge technology, so you can power up fairly quickly. Other features include a fingerprint sensor on the side for easy unlocking. For connectivity, it has Wi-Fi (2.4GHz/5GHz), Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, and USB 2.0. It also supports OTG for connecting accessories and even has an FM radio built-in.
The vivo Y04s is available in two stylish colors: Crystal Purple and Jade Green. It launched in Indonesia for 1,399,000 Indonesian Rupiah. We will have to see when vivo brings the Y04s to other markets.
