vivo has officially launched its latest budget-friendly 5G smartphones—the vivo Y50 5G and vivo Y50m 5G—in the Chinese market.
Both models offer similar specifications, with the primary difference being the available memory configurations. The Y50 starts with a 4GB RAM variant, while the Y50m begins at 6GB RAM.
Both devices feature a 6.74-inch IPS LCD display with a 1600×720 pixel resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, ensuring smoother visuals. Powering the phones is the efficient 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with multiple RAM options—4GB (Y50 only), 6GB, 8GB, and 12GB—and 128GB or 256GB of expandable storage.
A standout feature of both the vivo Y50 and Y50m is their massive 6,000mAh battery, which supports 44W fast charging for quicker top-ups. These phones run on OriginOS 5 and are built to offer long-lasting performance at a budget-friendly price.
In terms of photography, both models sport a basic dual-camera setup. On the rear is a 13MP f/2.2 wide-angle camera, while the front hosts a 5MP selfie camera—enough for everyday shots and video calls.
Design-wise, the Y50 and Y50m measure 167.3 x 77 x 8.2 mm and weigh 204 grams. Both phones are rated IP64 for dust resistance and splash protection, making them more durable than typical budget smartphones.
The phones are available in three attractive color options: Azure, Diamond Black, and Platinum. Pricing is set at CNY 1,199 (approx. €143 or INR 14,500) for the Y50’s 4GB/128GB variant. Higher variants—6GB/128GB, 8GB/256GB, and 12GB/256GB—are priced at CNY 1,499, CNY 1,999, and CNY 2,299 respectively. The Y50m skips the 4GB model and shares the same pricing for its configurations.
Both vivo Y50 5G and Y50m 5G are now available via vivo’s official online store, offering solid features, large batteries, and 5G connectivity at an affordable price.
