Vivo is now working on another budget smartphone dubbed as Vivo Y81i. The smartphone, as the name suggests, would be another variant of the already-launched Vivo Y81. Just like Vivo Y71i, the smartphone is going to be a cheaper and budget-friendly alternative to Y81. Vivo Y81 went on the sale for the first time somewhere in the month of August. There was not that much information available on Vivo Y81i until now. We now know everything about the device including design and internal hardware.

Speaking of the design, Vivo Y81i share similar aesthetics as that of Y81. The device comes with a narrow notch on the front with fewer bezels and thinner chin. There is a single camera setup at the back accompanied by an LED flash. The leaked images show the device in the popular Red color. In another image, we see a front of the device with a tagline “See More Than Ever” even though it features the same screen size as that of Y81.

The display has a resolution of 1520×720 pixels. The press image talks about a processor with a model number MT6761. It seems like the phone is powered by an another MediaTek chipset. Vivo Y81i boasts a 2GB of RAM and a 16GB of internal storage. In terms of optics, the device is equipped with a single 13-MP camera sensor at the back. Like rear, you also get a 5MP selfie shooter at the front. All of this runs on the 3260mAh battery packed inside and a custom FunTouch 4.0 skin based on Android 8.1 Oreo. It is 7.77-mm thick and weighs about 143g.
