The vivo Y100i 256GB 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 1,100 in the UAE and ₹25,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The vivo Y100i 256GB excels with its 5000mAh battery and 44W wired charging, delivering all-day endurance and a full charge in under 60 minutes, plus reverse wired charging for emergencies. Its 6.64-inch 1080 x 2388 display offers sharp 395 ppi clarity, ideal for extended media consumption. The Octa-core chipset with two 2.2 GHz Cortex-A76 cores handles multitasking and light gaming without throttling. Ideal buyers are students or office workers needing reliable battery life, fast charging, and a large screen for reading or video calls, without demanding flagship cameras. Its weakness is the 8MP main camera—low-light shots are noisy, and detail lacks depth compared to 50MP rivals. In UAE at AED 1100, it’s competitive because few phones under AED 1200 offer 44W charging and 5G. In India at ₹25999, it’s overpriced—same specs are available for ₹18000–₹21000 with better cameras and similar battery life.
