Vivo Y500 256GB

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Vivo Y500 256GB arrives with a spec sheet that does not quite add up, and you should know that before buying. The data lists a display as "3 inches" while also claiming a 1260 x 2800 resolution at roughly 450 PPI — a combination that is physically inconsistent, so treat the screen size as unconfirmed. Likewise, 2GB of RAM next to 256GB of storage is an unusual pairing that will hurt multitasking even if the Unisoc T7300 and 8100mAh battery sound generous. The 13MP rear and 32MP front cameras are fine on paper, but given how many figures here contradict each other, verify this phone's real specifications before committing to a 109,999 PKR spend. Against the Samsung Galaxy A26 5G, the comparison mostly comes down to whether the Y500's stated numbers hold up. The Galaxy is cheaper by about 15,000 PKR and is far better documented: 5G connectivity, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, a 50MP+8MP+2MP triple camera and a 120Hz AMOLED display. The Y500 counters on paper with a huge 8100mAh battery and larger storage, but the unverified display and weak RAM make it a gamble. For most buyers the A26 5G is the safer, more transparent choice; the Y500 only makes sense if its battery and storage figures are independently confirmed. Given the questionable specs, check PTA status AND independently verify this handset's real configuration before purchase.
