The vivo Y78 is the latest product in the Y series. It not only retains the Y series’ high-quality design and lightness but also comprehensively upgrades the hardware that affects the core user experience, such as the screen and battery, bringing a good user experience to more people.

To quickly attract the attention of others, an elegant “appearance design” is essential. vivo has always been good at handling colors, which is also reflected in the “jade green” color matching of the vivo Y78. The first impression given by this color scheme is “purity”. The bright green back panel looks very attractive. Moreover, under the flow of light, you can feel the texture of the back, which adds a bit of personality to the phone.

As for the lens deco area, the vivo Y78 adopts the company’s classic cloud step dual-camera design, which further increases the layering of the camera area through fusion, while maintaining simplicity.

A good screen is essential for everyday phone use. The vivo Y78 uses a 6.64-inch LCD screen, which supports a maximum refresh rate of 120Hz and up to six levels of adaptive refresh rate. It can match the corresponding refresh rate according to different usage scenarios, making not only dynamic content display smoother but also static content display more power-efficient.

Compared with OLED screens, LCD screens have the characteristic of low brightness that does not harm the eyes, and can have a soft screen feel even at extremely low brightness. In addition, the LCD screen of the vivo Y78 also supports HBM mode. When the light sensor senses strong external light, the screen brightness will automatically increase to a maximum of 620nit for a short time, ensuring normal use even in strong light.

From a detailed perspective, the vivo Y78 also uses a center punch-hole design, which has become a norm in the Android camp. The symmetrical design not only looks more familiar, but also minimizes the impact of the punch-hole on the top notification bar as much as possible.

Of course, a slim body design is also necessary for long-term use. Through clever internal stacking design, the vivo Y78 controls the body thickness to 8mm and the weight to 190g, and with the square edges, it provides a relatively lightweight grip.

A more eye-catching design can attract more attention. In terms of visual and tactile experience, the vivo Y78 is a product that has put a lot of effort into aesthetics, whether it is the colorful back panel or the slim body, we can see vivo’s consistent insistence on the Y series.

Users who choose products in the thousand-yuan price range often have reasonable “expectations” for photography, and the appearance of the vivo Y78 is more about breaking the user’s “stereotype” of the camera for products in this price range.

The vivo Y78 is equipped with a dual camera system with a resolution of 50 million pixels.

The vivo Y78 is equipped with a dual camera system with a resolution of 50 million pixels, which is enough to meet daily shooting needs from a hardware perspective. When using the 2X mode, the 50 million pixel sensor can also produce clear images.

vivo has been deeply involved in photography for many years. Some well-experienced software algorithms can be quickly applied to more affordable models. The vivo Y78 also supports multi-frame noise reduction algorithm, which can optimize noise reduction during shooting and provide clear images.

Portrait photography is also a strength of the vivo Y78. When taking portraits, the phone will analyze the user’s age and gender through micrometer-level portrait detection, and conduct targeted portrait effect processing. Moreover, using the light spot portrait algorithm, the vivo Y78 can simulate the shallow depth of field effect of a large aperture lens, taking photos with beautiful background light spots.

Smartphones have become one of the most frequently used devices in daily life, and “large batteries” have also become a standard feature of phones. The vivo Y78 accommodates a large-capacity 5000mAh battery while ensuring lightness and thinness, and is further equipped with 44W fast charging, ensuring longer battery life while maintaining basic experience.

In order to ensure longer battery life, the vivo Y78 also uses a more durable battery. Under 1,600 full charge and discharge cycles, the battery capacity is still greater than 80%, which is twice the industry standard of 800 cycles with more than 80% remaining capacity.

Of course, the other hardware components of the vivo Y78 also work to reduce power consumption and improve battery life. In addition to the previously mentioned variable refresh rate LCD screen, the vivo Y78 is also equipped with a low-power 6nm process chip, the Dimensity 7020, which has lower power consumption and stronger performance compared to the previous generation. Overall performance is improved by 14%, and it supports 5G+5G dual card dual standby.

The low-power chip also brings another major advantage, which is low heat generation. After running a game of “King of Glory”, the back panel temperature of the vivo Y78 is only 34.1 degrees Celsius, and there is no obvious heating phenomenon. In addition, according to benchmark tests, the Dimensity 7020 used in the vivo Y78 scored 400,000 points in the AnTuTu benchmark, which is in line with our expectations for this chip.

In addition to the Dimensity 7020, the vivo Y78 also has a storage combination of up to 12GB+256GB, and the built-in memory fusion technology of OriginOS ensures smooth switching between multiple applications.

In addition to common hardware configurations in the same price range, the vivo Y78’s upgrades in terms of details also provide significant help for a good experience. It has a built-in third-generation custom super speaker, with improved sensitivity to high-frequency sound in the sound unit, making human voices and high-frequency sound more prominent, and providing richer details in sound content and listening experience. Not only is the sound bright, but the listening experience is also more agile and pleasing.

The vivo Y78 retains the 3.5mm headphone jack.

Another detail worth noting is that the vivo Y78 still retains the 3.5mm headphone jack, which fully considers those users who are still using wired headphones.

While controlling the thickness of the body, the vivo Y78’s built-in super speaker can still provide sufficient volume. And it also has the sixth generation SKT sound effect built in. Through machine learning, it can judge the sound in real time and make dynamic adjustments. Especially today, when short videos have become the mainstream leisure and entertainment method, the large battery built into the vivo Y78 can compensate for missing frequency bands and restore compressed low-quality audio on the network to high-quality audio through algorithms, bringing a higher quality auditory experience.

Within the thousand-yuan price range, the vivo Y78 is a good phone. It can meet users’ daily needs in terms of appearance, performance, and audio-visual enjoyment. And don’t forget, as a newly released product, the vivo Y78 naturally comes with the latest OriginOS 3 system, which includes many of vivo’s latest technologies such as unfair scheduling, on-the-spot resurrection, memory fusion, 48-month anti-aging, visual fluency 2.0, and touch fluency 2.0. In today’s era where hardware dominates and software enhances product competitiveness, the vivo Y78 with OriginOS 3 is undoubtedly a good choice for purchasing a phone within the thousand-yuan price range.
