  • Solid and well-built design that feels premium for a budget device
  • Reliable and fast side-mounted fingerprint sensor
  • Decent daylight photography from the 48MP main camera

What we don't like about vivo Y52 (4GB + 128GB)

  • Display limited to a standard 60Hz refresh rate (no high refresh rate)
  • Uses an LCD panel instead of the punchier AMOLED screens found in some rivals
  • Performance can be sluggish under heavy multitasking or gaming due to limited 4GB RAM
  • Lack of an ultra-wide angle lens limits camera versatility
  • Poor low-light and night mode camera performance
  • Slow 18W charging compared to competitors offering 33W or higher
  • Presence of pre-installed bloatware and aggressive memory management

Verdict

The Vivo Y52 5G (4GB+128GB) is a budget-friendly smartphone featuring a 6.58-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with a standard 60Hz refresh rate, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 octa-core processor and running Funtouch OS 11.1 based on Android 11. It includes a versatile 48MP main rear camera accompanied by 2MP macro and depth sensors, an 8MP front camera, and a substantial 5000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support. Key pros include its affordable 5G connectivity, long battery life, and ample expandable storage. Cons often mentioned are the limited 4GB RAM capacity, the lack of an ultrawide camera, and the display's basic 60Hz refresh rate, which is lower than some competitors offering 90Hz panels.
