The vivo iQOO U6 128GB is Vivo's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.51 inches, 102.3 cm2 (~82.5% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Mediatek Dimensity 700 (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5000 mAh battery. At AED 2,000 in the UAE and ₹12,999 in India, it sits firmly in the mid-range tier.
The vivo iQOO U6 128GB excels with its 5000mAh battery delivering all-day endurance and 18W wired charging for reliable top-ups, plus a 6.51-inch IPS LCD with 20:9 aspect ratio offering sharp text clarity for reading and scrolling. Its 13MP PDAF main sensor captures usable daylight shots, while the 5G support across bands 1, 5, 8, 28, 41, 77, 78 ensures future-proof connectivity in both UAE and India. This phone targets budget-conscious students and daily commuters who prioritize battery life and 5G over premium displays or fast charging. Its weakness is the 720p resolution screen—270 ppi causes visible pixelation during extended video streaming or detailed graphics work. In UAE at AED 2000, it’s overpriced compared to Redmi Note 12 Pro’s 108MP camera and 120Hz display at similar cost. In India at ₹12999, it’s competitive because rivals like Realme Narzo 60x offer the same 5000mAh battery and 5G but with a 90Hz screen for ₹11999.
