In a bid to bolster its budget smartphone offerings in the country, Vivo India launched the
Vivo Y81 for a price of Rs 12,999. The Y81 will be available for sale starting today at Vivo’s online store e-store and
Flipkart. The phone comes in two colours — black and gold with the primary design element of the phone being the fact that it features a notch, similar to the recently launched
**Honor 9N** . [caption id=“attachment_4486017” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”] The Vivo X21 features a notch.

Inside, it gets an octa-core MediaTek Helio P22 SoC paired with a PowerVR GE8320 GPU. In terms of storage, you get 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage which is further expandable via a microSD card. Moving to optics, the Y81 features a single 13 MP f/2.2 camera unit on the back and a 5 MP f/2.2 on the front for selfies. The phone runs on Android Oreo 8.1 with Vivo’s FunTouch OS 4.0 along with a sizeable 3,260 mAh battery unit. [caption id=“attachment_4965241” align=“alignnone” width=“1280”]

**Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1** , Realme 1 and the
**Redmi Note 5** , this could have been priced a little lower by Vivo. We do have to put the phone through the paces, however, to arrive at a more conclusive verdict.
The Vivo Y81 comes with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage which is further expandable via a microSD card.
