Introducing the vivo Y17S, a marvel of modern design and functionality.Available in two stunning colors - Midnight Blue and Stardust Purple, the vivo Y17S exudes elegance and charm. I currently have the Stardust Purple variant in hand, which looks absolutely mesmerizing and youthful. For those inclined towards a more subdued tone, the Midnight Blue option is also available.
In terms of aesthetics, vivo demonstrates an impeccable sense of style with the Y17S. Despite being a budget-friendly device, it follows the latest design trends with its sleek edges and flat contours. This design approach not only ensures visual appeal but also prioritizes user comfort, delivering a smartphone that is both attractive and contemporary.
The design language of the vivo Y17S seems to cater more towards women, with its softly rounded corners and slim 8mm profile. Coupled with the ethereal Stardust Purple hue, the device appears even more refined, lightweight, and elegant. It's a device that undoubtedly earns praise when held, especially among the female demographic.
Speaking of ergonomics, the vivo Y17S is crafted entirely from plastic, weighing just 186g and measuring 163.7 x 75.4 x 8.1 mm. Its lightweight and compact form factor ensure a comfortable grip, minimizing hand fatigue during prolonged usage. The rounded edges further enhance grip, offering a reassuring feel and preventing hand strain over extended periods of use.
As mentioned, this is a rare device equipped with IP54 water resistance rating within its price range, providing users with enhanced protection against water damage. It safeguards the device from accidental exposure to water, whether it's rain, spills, or splashes from handwashing.
The edges of the vivo Y17S are familiarly arranged, making it easy for users to navigate. On the right side, we find the volume buttons, power button, while the left side remains unoccupied.
At the top edge of the vivo Y17S, there's a microphone for calls and a SIM card slot.
Moving to the bottom edge, we find the USB-C charging port, external speaker, microphone, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Turning to the rear panel, the vivo Y17S features a matte plastic finish, enhancing its aesthetics and providing a comfortable grip. This finish also helps reduce sweat and fingerprint marks. The dual-camera setup is a highlight, seamlessly integrated into the design with a subtle surrounding accent.
In terms of specifications, the vivo Y17S sports a 50MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait mode. Overall, the camera specs are acceptable and on par with other budget-friendly models.
Quickly assessing the image quality, the vivo Y17S delivers pleasingly detailed photos with slightly cool undertones.
Turning to the front, we encounter the 6.55-inch display of the vivo Y17S, featuring a 'waterfall' design with an 8MP selfie camera. The display aesthetics might not be its strong suit, with thick bezels and an outdated design, reminiscent of older models from 2018-2019.
Certainly, the device still sports thick bezels, a common sight in budget-friendly devices. However, with time, users will grow accustomed to them.
The display performance of the device is decent, utilizing an IPS LCD panel for accurate color reproduction. There's a slight blueish tint, and the HD+ resolution (720 x 1,612 pixels) doesn't offer the sharpest clarity. Nonetheless, it provides satisfactory viewing for content displayed on the screen.
It's unfortunate that the vivo Y17S lacks a high refresh rate of 90Hz or 120Hz, resulting in less responsive and smooth touch gestures.
The performance of the vivo Y17S is driven by the Helio G85 chipset (12 nm), paired with 4GB of RAM (expandable up to 8GB) and 128GB of ROM. In quick tests with games like Tốc Chiến and Call Of Duty, the device handles well even at higher graphics settings.
Benchmarking with Antutu yielded a score of 230,204 points, while Geekbench 6 single-core and multi-core scores were 357 and 1,182 points, respectively. These scores are reasonable for a device like the vivo Y17S.
Finally, the vivo Y17S boasts a 5,000mAh battery, a standard capacity for a modern smartphone, providing ample usage throughout the day. It's a tad disappointing that the device only supports 15W charging.
