alive launched the Year 18 in USA in May, and today it launched the ‘i’ model in the country. The vivo Y18i is powered by the Unisoc T612 SoC and runs Android 14-based Funtouch OS 14 out of the box. It has 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage, expandable up to 1TB via microSD card.
The vivo Y18i is built around a 6.56” HD+ LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate and 528nits HBM brightness. It also features a waterdrop notch for a 5MP selfie camera. Over on the back, you get a dual camera setup – a 13MP primary camera and a 0.08MP secondary unit.
The vivo Y18i is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging support. It also has an IP54 rating and features stereo speakers. If this all sounds familiar, that’s because the Y18i is a rebranded Y03t revealed yesterday, except the Y03t has Bluetooth 5.2 instead of 5.0 and an additional 128GB storage option.
