Unboxing and first impressions of the vivo Y35

Designed to help you meet the demands of city life, the new vivo Y35 is finally in the Philippines. From its Snapdragon 680 processor and 256GB storage with 8GB Extended RAM to its 5000mAh battery life and 44W Fast Charger, it brings to the forefront the reliability we’re searching for in our day-to-day life.

Design and build

It made quite an impression — dressed up in a stylish design to complement our fashion sense. It comes in two colorways: Dawn Gold and Agate Black. Up close and personal, the formers will leave  you mesmerized by its shimmering, smooth matte finish. Further, it sports a lightweight and relatively slim physique (188g and 8.28mm, respectively), which should be easy to travel with. 

What’s inside the box? The 44W Fast Charger adapter, USB-C cable, SIM ejector tool, protective case, warranty card, and quick start guide. 

Display

Featuring a large 6.58-inch FHD+ display with 90Hz refresh rate, the vivo Y35 will be a major treat if you like spending time streaming videos to de-stress. Even in crowded places, you can listen with ease thanks to the Audio Booster mode. While the 550nits of brightness will help increase screen visibility outdoors. 

Camera

It’s hard to miss the triple camera setup that consists of the 50MP main camera, 2MP Bokeh camera, and 2MP macro camera. With its significantly large sensors, it easily stands out and adds to the overall premium appearance too. Further, the Super Night Mode will help you take vivid shots even in low-light conditions. To take selfies, you have the 16MP HD front camera. 

Performance

Powered by a Snapdragon 680 4G processor, it will lend itself well for both light and intensive use. In addition, vivo prides itself for being the first brand to offer 8GB + 8GB Extended RAM. All of which are set to provide you the seamless and immersive user experience for both work and play. 

For your storage needs, you’ll be delighted to know that the Y35 has 256GB storage capacity. 

Battery

Since it’s built with a 5000mAh battery, it’s expected to power you throughout the day regardless of the load of your activities. The aforementioned is paired with a 44W Fast Charger, which according to vivo gives you 70% battery in just 34 minutes. 

Final thoughts

In the new Y35, vivo marries style and convenience — what younger generations are very much after to complement their lifestyle. We’ll find out if lives up to our expectations in our upcoming review.
