vivo Y27s now official

The vivo Y27, which officially launched in the Philippines last August, just got a new variant—the vivo Y27s. Compared to its base model, the vivo Y27s now has a Snapdragon 680 chip (from MediaTek Helio G85), and a tad bit higher memory capacity at 8GB (from 6GB).

Another difference is the design at the back panel whereas the camera module now has rectangular protrusion, containing the dual rear camera setup. It sports a 50-megapixel main camera.
