A week ago<\/a>, vivo unveiled the Y6t \u2013 a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2<\/a> powered phone with a 6.74\u201d 720p+ display, a 6,500mAh battery and a low price tag of CNY 1,400 ($205) for a base 6\/128GB unit. Now the company is introducing a second take at the same formula that\u2019s an even better deal \u2013 and it is teasing the vivo Y600 Pro. But first\u2026<\/p>\n

The vivo Y500s<\/a> boasts a larger 7,200mAh battery, a single cell with 28.23Wh typical capacity. It supports 44W Flash charging (11V at 4A) over USB-C. With a full charge, you can binge watch TV shows for just short of 24 hours or you can use navigation for 15.5 hours. Even if the phone has only 20% left in the tank, it can do navigation (in power saving mode) for 3 hours or so.<\/p>\n

This is a Blue Ocean 3 battery, which is safe to charge even in very cold (-20\u00b0C) or very hot (40\u00b0C) environments. vivo rates it at 1,600 charge cycles (while maintaining at least 80% of its original capacity), which is enough for 6 years of general usage.<\/p>\n

The phone has a 6.75\u201d LCD with 720 x 1,570px resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Nestled on top is an 8MP selfie camera with an f\/2.1 aperture.<\/p>\n

The camera on the back is more interesting with a 50MP sensor and an f\/1.8 aperture. It may not sound like much, but the Y6t only has a 13MP camera on its back.<\/p>\n

This phone is rated IP68 for submersion and IP69 for protection against high-pressure water jets. There are stereo speakers on board with a one-button cleaning mode that helps get water out of them if the phone goes for an accidental dip. There\u2019s also a side-mounted fingerprint reader.<\/p>\n

The vivo Y500s is powered by the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 \u2013 a fairly old chipset, but it is a 4nm part and it has a 5G modem. There are several configurations available with the base model having 8GB of RAM and 256GB storage. This one costs CNY 1,800 while the top-specced Y6t with 6GB of RAM and 256GB storage is CNY 1,600. With the bigger battery and better camera, the Y500s makes a compelling case for spending CNY 200 extra.<\/p>\n

Before we wrap up, here\u2019s a teaser that\u2019s too hot to put off \u2013 the vivo Y600 Pro will have a massive 10,200mAh battery. Like its sibling above, it will be rated IP68 and IP69 and a 50MP camera.<\/p>\n
