If the RM1,399 vivo V9 is out of your budget, here comes a more affordable alternative. vivo Malaysia has just announced the Y85 which also comes with a FullView display and a dual-camera setup at the rear.
The Y85 is officially priced at RM999 and it will be available exclusively on 11street from 1 – 3 June 2018. To sweeten the deal, they are also providing free 1-year screen crack protection and a 32GB microSD card.
The vivo Y85 has a 6.22″ HD 720p display (1520×720) that has a tall 19:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, it runs on a 12nm Octa-Core processor (likely MediaTek Helio P22) that’s mated to 4GB of RAM and it comes with 32GB of onboard storage.
