Vivo has quietly launched the Y19e a new model aimed at the affordable market. The original Y19 came out in 2019, and the Y19s debuted in 2024 which shows a significant gap between the two. Now the company is introducing a 4G version under the name Y19e. Let's dive into the Vivo Y19e including its specifications and the expected price in Nepal.

Vivo Y19e Overview

Design and Display

Vivo seems to be lazing out in terms of design for its budget phone. I mean the new Y19e looks almost identical to the Vivo Y29s 5G, which itself resembled the Vivo Y04 4G. The design features flat edges and a sleek finish which isn’t particularly exciting but certainly looks modern. The color options include a Gold variant with a shimmery finish and Majestic Green. It measures 167.3 x 76.95 x 8.19mm and weighs about 199 grams. For durability the phone is rated with an IP64 certification for water and dust resistance, which is great for a budget device. Furthermore, it has a fingerprint sensor integrated into the power button for added convenience. The front of the phone features a 6.74-inch display with HD+ resolution. The display supports a 90Hz refresh rate which offers a smoother experience than typical budget phones. With a pixel density of 260 PPI it's not the sharpest but is decent for everyday use. The wet touch support is a nice bonus and the waterdrop notch houses the front camera.

Performance and Battery

Under the hood, the Vivo Y19e is powered by the UniSoC T7225 chipset. It has two ARM Cortex A75 cores running up to 1.8 GHz for better performance and six Cortex A55 cores for efficiency. This gives the device a balanced performance, though it's still an entry-level chipset. For graphics, it comes with the ARM Mali G52 MP1. The phone runs on FunTouch OS 14 based on Android 14 which should provide a clean and responsive user interface. The Y19e comes with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of internal storage. On top of that, you can expand it by up to 2TB via a dedicated microSD slot. In terms of battery, the device houses a 5,500 mAh battery and 15W wired fast charging support. For a budget device this battery capacity and charging speed are quite impressive.

Camera and Additional Features

In terms of cameras, the Vivo Y19e features a 13MP main camera with an f/2.2 aperture along with a secondary 0.08MP camera. For selfies you will get a 5MP front camera with an f/2.2 aperture that will handle basic selfie needs. For connectivity, the Y19e supports Bluetooth 5.2, ensuring reliable and fast connections with other devices. The phone also comes with AI Erase and AI Photo Enhance features, which can be useful for improving photo quality.
