Vivo Y25 Specifications, Review and Highlights
The Vivo Y25 comes with a 1GB RAM with an internal storage of 16GB which can be expanded to 128GB using a micro SD. The device supports DUAL SIM and 4G LTE connections. For a smartphone of its standard, it is no surprise to see that it has a battery capacity of 1900mAh.
Its display sees it feature a 4.5-inch FWVGA IPS display with a screen resolution of 854 by 480 pixels. This isn’t at all a sleek display but definitely, it would serve its purpose.

Asides that the smartphone would run on Funtouch OS 2.1( Vivo’s user interface) based on Android 5.1 OS, it would also be powered by a quad-core MT6580 processor with a clock speed of 1.3GHz while the Mali 400 MP2 GPU handles the mobile’s graphics.
