RM799 is all you need to pick up the new vivo Y28s 5G smartphone in Malaysia

vivo Malaysia has brought in yet another budget smartphone device but it’s not the “bottom of the pile, barely functional smartphone” because it is actually quite the opposite.

With the 5G network getting more and more mature in Malaysia, sometimes budget smartphones would still stick to 4G LTE-only chipsets to keep the cost down but the Y28s 5G wants to stay modern so there it is.

However, in exchange, the screen is a fair LCD IPS panel at 90Hz so don’t expect super clear images or anything.

But the spirit of the Y series is maintained via the big 5,000mAh battery so you can go through the entire day without worrying about charging it.

And yes, the camera is just usable and probably decent for this price point.

Here’s the quick spec sheet summary.

• 6.56-inch IPS LCD Display
  • 720p Resolution
  • 90Hz Refresh Rate
• MediaTek Dimensity 6300 Chipset
• Up to 8GB RAM
• Up to 256GB Storage
• Dual Back Cameras
  • Main: 50MP f/1.8 with PDAF
  • Depth Sensor
• 8MP Selfie Camera
• 5,000mAh Battery
  • 15W Wired

Price and Availability

The vivo Y28s 5G will start from RM799 which will net you the 6GB+128GB version while another extra RM300 amps the memory config up to 8GB+256GB but to cheer up the early buyers, the latter model will have a RM100 instant rebate so effectively making it RM999 for a limited time.
