We’re not entirely sure why vivo remains so fixated on the Y55s moniker, but here we are with another phone of the same model name. It should not be confused with the 2017 Y55s, nor with the 2021 Y55s 5G. However, its specifications are quite similar to the latter. This new Y55s 5G, however, is designed for international markets.
The main difference we can see is that the new vivo Y55s model has a smaller 5,000mAh battery compared to the 6,000mAh of its namesake. Other than that, it still has 18W charging. All other specs look identical too. The phone measures 164 x 75.84 x 8.25 mm and weighs 187 grams. It can be had in galaxy blue or star black.
It has a 6.58-inch LCD, FullHD+ (2408 x 1080), MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset with 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 128GB of non-expandable storage. There is no 8GB RAM option like in the 2021 variant. The phone also has dual SIM 5G support, dual-band ac Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, a USB Type-C port with OTG support, FM radio, NFC and a full range of sensors, including gravity, light, proximity, compass, gyroscope, and a side-mounted fingerprint reader.
The camera department includes a 50 MP, f/1.8 main camera and two additional 2 MP, f/2.4 snappers on the back: one for portrait depth information and the other for macro shooting. It is technically one more camera than the 2021 edition of the phone. Up front is an 8MP, f/1.8 selfie cam.
The new global vivo Y55s 5G is priced at NTD 7,990 ($263) for the 4GB, plus 128GB variant, and NTD 8,490 ($280) for the top-end 6GB, plus 128GB variant.
