The vivo Y78+ 128GB is Vivo's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.78 inches, 111.0 cm2 (~90.3% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Qualcomm SM6375 Snapdragon 695 5G (6 nm) chipset. It comes with a 5000 mAh battery. At AED 950 in the UAE and ₹27,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The vivo Y78+ 128GB excels with its 50MP main camera featuring OIS and PDAF, delivering sharp, stable shots in low light, and its 5000mAh battery supports all-day use with 44W wired charging, replenishing 70% in under 40 minutes. The 6.78-inch 1080x2400 display offers crisp 388ppi clarity, ideal for extended media consumption. This phone targets budget-conscious buyers who prioritize long battery life and reliable daytime photography without flagship pricing. Its weakness? The Snapdragon 695 chipset struggles with sustained gaming—thermal throttling kicks in after 15 minutes of BGMI or COD Mobile. In UAE at AED 950, it’s competitive because rivals like the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ offer similar batteries but lack OIS and faster charging. In India at ₹27,999, it’s overpriced: the Poco X5 Pro delivers better thermals, 120Hz display, and 67W charging for ₹24,999. Skip if you game often.
