vivo just launched a new phone today, the Y03. This made its debut in Indonesia but we might see it in other markets too at some later point. It’s as entry-level as they come, with a price to match.
Let’s talk specs first. The Y03 is powered by MediaTek’s Helio G85 SoC, which automatically means there’s no 5G on offer here. This is paired with 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 64GB or 128GB of expandable eMMC 5.1 storage. The phone also supports 4GB RAM extension.
It has a 6.56-inch 720×1612 LCD touchscreen with 90 Hz refresh rate, a 13 MP main rear camera with a QVGA decorative camera alongside it, a 5 MP selfie snapper, and a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 15W wired charging. It runs Android 14 with Funtouch OS 14 on top, it’s IP54 certified for dust and splash resistance, and is offered in two colors: Space Black and Gem Green.
So how much do you need to pay for all this if you’re in Indonesia? Not much, it turns out. The 4/64GB model goes for IDR 1,299,000 (that’s $83 or €76 at the current exchange rates), while the one with 128GB of storage can be yours for IDR 1,499,000 ($96 or €88).
