So, does this product line really deliver a better Vivo Y02 experience for users? Join Mytour as we quickly get our hands on this vivo Y02 to find out.
On the outside, the box remains familiar; vivo maintains a consistent design for the vivo Y02 box, similar to the one for vivo Y01, with white as the dominant color. Inside the box, besides our main character today, you'll find an accessory kit including a 10W charger, Micro USB cable, and SIM ejector pin.
Returning to the main character, the first aspect I highly appreciate in this vivo Y02 is the design. Specifically, the phone's back is crafted from premium plastic with a finely textured surface, exuding sophistication and minimalism, effectively minimizing fingerprints and sweat during usage.
Furthermore, the most notable feature on this vivo Y02 is perhaps the presence of a camera cluster comprising a main 8MP lens and an LED flash housed in a rectangular module, delivering a captivating and refined feel.
The physical buttons on the edges are also impeccably crafted, specifically at the bottom edge where you find the Micro USB charging port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and microphone.
On the right side, you'll find the volume rocker and power button neatly positioned.
The left side hosts the SIM tray design.
Finally, the external speaker strip is placed at the top edge.
Overall, the device weighs only 186 grams, with the 2.5D flat-cut frame measuring a mere 8.49mm in thickness. It provides a comfortably sized and ergonomic grip, ensuring hours of use without fatigue.
Regarding the display, the vivo Y02 features a borderless IPS LCD waterdrop-notch screen with outdated HD+ resolution, measuring 6.51 inches, providing a wide visual experience and authentic color reproduction. However, being a budget phone, the screen bezels are quite thick, especially the chin.
In addition, the vivo Y02's display is only equipped with a standard 60Hz refresh rate, so simple touch gestures or web scrolling may experience slight lag. Furthermore, while the manufacturer hasn't disclosed specific brightness details, outdoor usage reveals a noticeable reduction in both detail and screen brightness.
Apart from the main 8MP camera on the rear, the vivo Y02 is equipped with a 5MP front selfie camera featuring AI beauty technology, including features like Polishing, Skin Tone adjustment, and Whitening.
On the software front, the vivo Y02 is supported by Funtouch OS 12 based on Android 12 Go. The version I'm currently hands-on with is the 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage variant. You can opt for the 3GB RAM version for better multitasking capabilities.
In terms of specifications, the vivo Y02 is powered by the Helio P22 processor, a relatively weak and somewhat 'vintage' chip with a lifespan of around 4 years. To gauge the phone's performance, I ran AnTuTu Benchmark, yielding about 91 thousand points, and Geekbench 5, scoring 140 single-core and 515 multi-core points.In reality, with these scores, your usage will be limited to web browsing, reading, calls, texting, or at most, watching low-resolution videos. If you're looking to cater to gaming needs, the vivo Y02 won't be the optimal choice in your 'cart.'
Finally, the vivo Y02 comes with a 5000mAh battery. It can be said that this is a common battery in the current market, sufficient to meet the daily usage needs of consumers. However, this device only supports 10W charging technology, so users will have to wait about 2 hours longer for a full charge.
In the price range of nearly 3 million VND, I find the vivo Y02 has several drawbacks. The optimization for daily use is not smooth, despite using Android Go, it still experiences stuttering and lag during operations, web browsing, and social media usage. Performance is not a strong point of this device. However, it still has its own strengths with a relatively attractive design and long-lasting battery life.
The vivo Y02 is currently available in the Vietnamese market at a price of 2.79 million VND. The product is not yet in stock at Mytour; you can register for information to be notified when it becomes available in the space below the article.
