Vivo recently launched a new affordable 5G-enabled smartphone exclusively for the Indonesian market called the vivo Y100 (IDN). Here’s an overview of this budget-friendly device’s key specs and features.

Design and Display

The vivo Y100 (IDN) features a 6.67-inch AMOLED display with FHD+ resolution and a high 120Hz refresh rate. This provides a smooth scrolling experience. It has thin bezels and a screen-to-body ratio of around 87%, allowing for an immersive viewing experience.

The phone weighs around 185-191g and is just 7.8mm thick, making it comfortable to hold. It has a glass front and a plastic/silicone polymer back.

Performance and Hardware

Under the hood, the vivo Y100 (IDN) is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset with 8GB of RAM. This should provide smooth performance for typical tasks. It comes with 128GB or 256GB of storage which is expandable via a microSD card.

The phone supports both 4G and 5G networks. It has a triple card slot allowing two Nano-SIM cards and a microSD card to be used simultaneously.

Cameras

The vivo Y100 (IDN) sports a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP main camera and an 8MP ultrawide lens for capturing photos and videos. Selfies are handled by an 8MP front camera.

Battery and Charging

Keeping the lights on is a sizable 5000mAh battery which should provide all-day usage. More impressively, it supports 80W fast wired charging, allowing a claimed 1-45% charge in just 15 minutes. This is quite fast for a phone in this price range.

OS and Software

The vivo Y100 runs Android 14 out of the box with the company’s Funtouch OS 14 skin on top. It comes with the usual connectivity options like dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, USB-C, and more. There is also an under-display fingerprint reader for security.

Priced around 220 euros, the vivo Y100 (IDN) seems like a very decent affordable 5G smartphone for those in Indonesia looking for fast performance and long battery life without breaking the bank. Its specs compare well against other options in this price segment.
