  • Absence of NFC for contactless payments in many regions.
  • The 6.58-inch IPS LCD panel lacks the vibrance and contrast of AMOLED alternatives.

Verdict

The Vivo Y35 (8GB + 256GB) is a reliable, mid-range 4G smartphone powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 6nm processor and 8GB of RAM, which can be expanded with an additional 8GB of virtual RAM for smooth multitasking. It features a 6.58-inch FHD+ (2408x1080) IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 50MP main rear camera system that captures detailed photos in good lighting conditions. A major pro is its substantial 5,000mAh battery with 44W FlashCharge support, which can charge the phone to 70% in just over 30 minutes, providing excellent all-day usage. Cons include the absence of 5G connectivity, the use of a single, bottom-firing speaker, and the fact that video recording is capped at 1080p at 30fps for the rear camera, without 4K support.
