What we like about vivo Y400 4G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Slim, sleek, and durable design with an IP68/IP69 water and dust resistance rating and military-grade certification (MIL-STD-810H).
  • Vibrant 1080p AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, good brightness, and P3 wide color gamut.
  • Long battery life (6,000 mAh capacity) that can last an entire day with mixed usage.
  • Fast 44W wired charging, which quickly tops up the large battery.
  • Good nighttime photography performance, capturing clear and detailed shots with realistic colors.
  • Decent and reliable everyday performance for general tasks and multitasking, with efficient thermal management during casual gaming.
  • Dual stereo speakers that produce adequate and crisp sound for media consumption.
  • Feature-rich software (Funtouch OS 15) based on Android 15, which includes useful AI features like text summarization and photo enhancement.
  • Comes with a high-quality bundled case that provides extra protection.
  • Supports expandable storage options, offering flexibility for users who need more space.

What we don't like about vivo Y400 4G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Performance is considered weak for the price and is outclassed by rivals in the same segment, especially in heavy gaming and multitasking.
  • Daylight photography struggles with highlight and exposure control, often resulting in washed-out bright scenes and inaccurate skin tones in selfies/portraits.
  • Lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack and an ultrawide camera lens.
  • A major connectivity issue where connecting a Bluetooth audio device can significantly reduce 5GHz Wi-Fi speeds (by around 50%), which the service center claims is by design.
  • The software/UI can feel cluttered compared to some competitor phones.
  • The display struggles to maintain optimal visibility in bright, sunny outdoor conditions compared to some rivals.
  • Does not support 2K or 4K video playback on YouTube due to hardware limitations of the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC.
  • The shiny side frame is highly prone to fingerprints and smudges.

Verdict

The Vivo Y400 4G (8GB + 256GB) is a mid-range smartphone with a 6.67-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display, a large 6000mAh battery, and a capable Snapdragon 685 processor. Key specifications include 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM, 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage, a 50MP main rear camera, an 8MP front camera, and an impressive IP68/IP69 ingress protection rating for excellent dust and water resistance. Pros: a bright and smooth AMOLED display, exceptional battery life with 44W wired fast charging support, and high durability for its price segment. Cons: the processor performance is not ideal for heavy gaming and multitasking compared to some competitors, the storage is UFS 2.2 rather than the faster UFS 3.1 found in the 5G variant, and the camera's highlight control in daylight shots could be better.
