Imagine a gaming phone that is not only stylish but also capable of casual gaming. For the high-end to flagship models, it’s not hard to do so. There are a bunch on the market available already. However, these are often quite expensive.
Well, it seems vivo Philippines wants to offer a similar device at a more affordable price range. Meet the vivo Y36, an affordable mid-range smartphone that is not only stylish but can also be your next casual gaming phone.
The vivo Y36 is powered by a Snapdragon 680 chipset, Adreno 610GPU, and comes with 8GB RAM, which can be virtually extended by another 8GB for a total of 16GB. There’s even Turbo Memory Booster, which includes vivo’s Interface Preserver and RAM Saver.
This makes the phone very capable of running the latest games you might want to play. At the same time, you can leave apps running in the background too, and you won’t experience any slowing down.
In addition, the phone features Multi-Turbo 5.5 and Ultra Game Mode to enhance users’ gaming experience even further when they need that extra performance. Just swipe from the upper right corner of the screen, and choose the mode for you.
But for the best performance, we recommend leaving it on boost. On boost mode, it ensures smooth gameplay whether you’re just farming talent materials on Genshin Impact or being competitive in Mobile Legends. Yes, this phone can run Genshin Impact without any issues whatsoever.
If you want to play multiple games, there’s lots of storage available too. The Y36 comes with up to 256GB of internal storage available, but you also get a microSD slot that is expandable by up to 1TB.
With that, there’s no need to worry about running out of space even if you install games that take up a lot of storage space like Genshin Impact, Blue Archive, and Honkai Star Rail. At the same time, you still have extra space available for all your photos, videos, and more. Lack of storage is not an issue with the vivo Y36.
Aside from a great chipset, what makes the vivo Y36 great for casual gaming is the nice display. The phone features a 6.64-inch Full HD+ display with a 240Hz gaming touch sampling rate and 90Hz refresh rate, giving users a more immersive experience.
And with up to 650nits peak brightness, you can enjoy gaming under the sun, and you’ll still be able to see what’s happening on the screen.
In order to play all day, you need a big battery, and the vivo Y36 packs a 5,000mAh battery pack. It’s more than enough to last you hours of continuous gaming.
But when you do need to recharge, you have less downtime too. The Y36 also has 44W fast charging capability. To give you a better idea, vivo says the phone can recharge from 0 to 70% in just 34 minutes using the supplied charger and cable.
These are just some of the great features of the vivo Y36. In addition to being a very capable casual gaming phone, it also looks great too. You can choose between the louder Glitter Aqua color or the more subtle Meteor Black colorways.
Best of all, it’s very affordable for what it offers. The vivo Y36 is now on sale and retails for just PHP 12,999. It is now available on the vivo Philippines website 10 as well as physical stores and the brand’s official Lazada, Shopee, and TikTok pages.
