Budget smartphones have only improved over the years offering more for a price that won’t break the bank. This is a large step away from times of basic phones being available at the entry-level point. Vivo has continued to release phones in all price ranges but we’ll take a look at the company’s offerings in the budget-friendly Y-series.
We’ve decided to cut it down to five Vivo Y-series phones. To make it easier for you, we’ve arranged them from the cheapest to the most expensive (we won’t reach the PHP 11,000 mark).
