Verdict

The Vivo Y77t (12GB + 256GB variant) is a mid-range 5G smartphone running Android 13 with OriginOS 3, featuring a 6.64-inch FHD+ IPS LCD display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. It is powered by the efficient 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 7020 octa-core processor, paired with a generous 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal UFS 3.1 storage. The phone includes a dual rear camera setup with a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor, along with an 8MP front camera.
