The vivo Y28, launched in Mexico for 6999 pesos, is considered overpriced for its specifications. While its design is attractive and includes a bundled case and 44W fast charging, the device's performance is underwhelming due to a low-end processor, HD+ display, and limited camera capabilities. The reviewer expresses disappointment with the device's overall value proposition, suggesting that comparable alternatives offer better features at a similar price.
Device Design & Price
• 00:00:00 The vivo Y28 has a visually appealing design with a textured back and a unique camera module. However, its price of 6999 pesos in Mexico is considered excessively high, particularly given the device's overall specifications. The reviewer believes it should be priced closer to 3999 pesos.
Box Contents
• 00:01:30 The vivo Y28 comes with a transparent TPU case, a 44W fast charger, a USB-A to USB-C cable, and a SIM card ejector tool. Including a case in the box is appreciated, though it's basic and might detract from the device's aesthetics. Users are encouraged to use the original charger and cable for optimal fast charging.
Display & Performance
• 00:03:44 The vivo Y28 features a 6.68-inch HD+ IPS display with a 90Hz refresh rate, which is considered disappointing for a device at this price point. The display lacks deep contrast and high brightness, and the overall performance is underwhelming due to the Helio G85 processor, an older model commonly found in more budget-friendly devices. Benchmark results confirm its relatively weak processing power.
Camera Capabilities
• 00:04:09 The vivo Y28's 8MP front camera struggles with overexposure in portrait mode and delivers subpar results. The 50MP main rear camera is decent in standard conditions but lacks optical image stabilization and delivers poor quality at higher zoom levels. Video recording is capped at Full HD (1080p) at 30 frames per second.
Battery & Storage
• 00:06:14 The vivo Y28 boasts a 6000mAh battery with 44W fast charging, which, combined with the low-power processor, could result in extended battery life, although at the cost of performance. However, the device uses eMMC 5.1 storage, which is considerably slow compared to UFS alternatives, resulting in longer app loading times and file transfers. It also has 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage.
