The vivo Y100i 128GB is Vivo's 2024 smartphone featuring a 6.64 inches, 106.8 cm2 (~85.4% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Mediatek Dimensity 6020 (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5000 mAh battery. At AED 950 in the UAE and ₹22,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The vivo Y100i 128GB excels with its 50MP main camera featuring PDAF for sharp daytime shots, a 5000mAh battery delivering all-day endurance, and 44W wired charging that refills 70% in under 40 minutes. It targets budget-conscious buyers who prioritize long battery life and fast charging over flagship cameras or 5G speed—especially students or shift workers needing reliable daily use without frequent recharging. Its weakness is the IPS LCD panel, which lacks HDR and vibrancy compared to AMOLED rivals, making outdoor visibility and media viewing less immersive. In UAE at AED 950, it’s competitive because no other 5000mAh phone under AED 1000 offers 44W charging. In India at ₹22999, it’s overpriced—competing models like the Redmi Note 13 Pro+ offer AMOLED, 120Hz, and 120W charging for similar cost. Skip if you care about display quality or future-proofing.
