vivo Y17 - User Reviews

  • just get any QC 3.0 charger

  • Good phone

  • I Have purchased Vivo Y17 just 3 months before, now the charger is not working, is there replacement options of the charger.

  • how to move storage to sd card

  • Donkey your card will be having some problems or the server was not be able to connect

  • only disply resolation low other wise very good phoe Vinu

  • 3.9 rating for this phone. Because 1. Low resolution (720) 2. Much heavier than normal phone 3. Shelfie camera to much white effect The good things are 1. Big battery capacity (5000) 2. Smoother than normal phone (4gb RAM) 3. Good for gamers 4. Less overhead than normal phone 5. Dark mood for eyes protection in night time 6. Battery not fast drain

  • VIVO Y15 is better and having less price.

  • I really dissapointed with VIVO Y17 because camera selfie is not good and not give real picture. I think this camera fake not based on spec u telling me on your product. This is the firts and the last i buy this phone!!! Bad experience for me!

  • Don't buy it...it's camera quality very bad like it's price....and gaming is to many bad performances.....I just played 2-3 game on it like Freefire and it's lagging and it's voice cutting so much time....... it's very very bad.......I think I waste my money

  • You said its processor is p22 but i wanna say that you were wrong it have p35 processor which is directly compare with snapdragon 635.

  • I think u should considerate to buy Vivo Y17. Before I always use Samsung Notes series, and still using note 8 right now. Bought this vivo just for secondary phone, but now I'm totally in love with this one. With cheap price and great performance, I really recomanded this..

  • Download speed is worst

  • Nice phone actually esp battery life. At par

  • Great

  • Yes nfc

  • no usb-c ? no nfc ? no sale !

  • Hello there. Am looking to buy a new vivo phone and am thinking to decide on vivo Y17. but i just want to be sure if all will be good when i buy it. with all the specifications i can say all is good for me. while reading other users opinion it makes me feel discomfort to decide it. i want some one to tell me if my decision will not make me feel sorry or i better not buy it? i am living in Eritrea too. and i also am using vivo Y55A for three years which it still is in good condition. that is why i want to buy updated vivo again. so please i need someone to tell me to decide.

  • Not supported by tmobile simcard the vivo phone. Kindly go to the website of tmobile and check the compatibility phone for tmobile. I hope it helps.

  • The photo resolution is automatically adjusted by facebook to a smaller file w/c makes the photo quality resolution a bit low as well.

  • Worst ever experience with the camera. Specially the selfie camera. The Ai function is the worst. It doesn't smoothen the pic rather it accentuates the scar n makes the face more white. I bought it 10 days back n suffering.

  • I understand you think it's good enough to make do, but the problem is that it's not worth its price one bit. This phone offers a really low resolution and ppi display, usually found in phones that cost half of its price like Realme 3. Which people hesitate to buy even in that price range. Its chipset, Helio P35 is about as strong as Snapdragon 630 which is really weak for this price range in 2019. Realme 3 has Helio P60 which so much more powerful, but I wouldn't want to buy even that chipset in this price. Camera specs are really and I mean really bad for this price. Despite other shortcomings, this phone could earn the price tag if it offered extra ordinary camera but even its camera specs are similar to phones that cost half as much than it. For example, Realme 3 camera has f/1.8 while this phone has f/2.2. This means Realme 3 camera is capable of capturing much-much better details than Vivo Y17 - and it really does. Realme 3 has 1.12um on both its main + selfie camera further makes its camera performance very good in low light/night time. The battery is only thing acceptable of Vivo Y17 but even Realme 3 has 4.2 mAh battery with just as much as power efficient chipset. This is the only category it's better than Realme 3 when it falls in the price range of Realme 3 Pro, Nokia 7 Plus, Nokia 8, Nokia 8.1, Samsung Galaxy A50.

  • I think some here are basing their experience on high end phones, well of course u cant do thak because this is on the entry level kindof phone...but I think this phone is ok...given the not so good specs...i tried playing overnight and the phone did not heat up and did not lag...the phone can stay up to 3 days without charging even when data is on...storage doesn't make me worry at all...and i dont know about other reviews but my y17 did not lag at all...and it charges fast for a 5k battery...cam is good under good light condition...and the ultrawide lens is good...you can't of course expect to much with this like the big phones but given its price, battery, storage, ram...this phone is ok...

  • Vivo y17 model how will u set the dual clock on display and notification light setting reply

  • How do I set the dual clock and notification light setting tell us the result

  • The battery is good, and sometime laggy. The worst is no auto arrange of the icons in the homescreen in alphabetically order you need to arrange it manually. I regret to buy vivo smartphones. I regret not buying OPPO smartphones.

  • Y17 too bulky phone why indian was using vivo phone

  • You guys always complain every new phone. It doesn't matter camera blur, low quality, speakers etc. Thats because they haven't update for may issues. Developers Vivo are try so hard to improve their software. Do you think easy to solve it? I bet not. I don't care about camera, video, music or whatsoever. At least I can buy and use it. If you guys are not vivo fans or user, please buy different phone instead of this.

  • Just clean the lens before shots. Thanks

  • Because of the camera apature is more ie,2.4 so it get blur when u share pics or videos and performance is normally ok p22 processor

  • Its normal not phones problm send photo gmail to gmail than u see original rejulation photo.

  • I have this phone. For me it's ok average performance but when it comes to photos. When I used it and posted its captured photos in messenger IG the photo become blurry and resolution becomes low. Anyone can you please answer this. Does this phone has problem or it is normal?

  • Y17 is not working with tmobile sim in los angeles, ca. No signal.

  • I would like to ask if this phone has smooth connection especially for pakistan????

  • Yeah I heard. I used to own a Redmi 6 and that had a P22 soc, not that its bad, but now I'm using the P60 on the Realme 3 and you can tell the difference.

  • Mobile is ok by network signal is very very poor

  • I would like to ask if this phone has smooth data connection especially for gaming? Battery is already good, but I'm undecided on its data connection, also with its durability

  • where u from? if youre from philippines i truthfully dont recommend this. the cellular data signal is very crap to be honest. thats the problem with vivo phones. i have this vivo y17 for a week now and ive never been this disappointed in buying a hardware. seesh.

  • helloni would like to post my opinion simce ive bought the phone and been using it for a week now. straight to the point is it worth buying or nah? Nope. if youre a camera or video-kinda type, youre not gonna like the pictures and video quality. also, because im using the record app often. the loud speaker and microphone quality is crap, to be honest with you. the record files on my vivo v7 has better sound quality than this phone. also observed that the cellular data signal of the phone is very poor. its too sensitive that when youre in a closed room you can't have a full bar of cellular data. that is my review. just sharing my opinion on my hardware. but all in all its good for gaming cause it has good battery and ram so, whatever.

  • hi, i would like to know how good is this phone actually? im just a normal phone user, not a gamer and i don't watch much videos.. i would like to know if it's worth for me buying it? any opinions please?

  • Mediatek is ok if it's P60-P70 series. Below that series is crap

  • No NFC?

  • Is mediatek ok?

  • I have been using this phone about 8 days . It has a massive battery ,that is quite interesting one .only the fault that it doesn't having FHD screen .But you'll not get disappointed ,i watched several movies with better quality doesn't feel any problems .But you cannot feel the screen resolution if you was an user of any phone with AMOLED sreen 😎because this is LCD that is now available in all smart phones ,so that's not a problem .If you are a gamer you can buy this phone because it give better battery capacity as well as smooth running .The camera is not so much good at indoor condition ,over all I give 3.9 rating for this phone .because the price is not good for this phone.

  • everything i'm asking for....

  • Fast charging 18W

  • I would like to ask for feedback in playing with this mobile phone. Thank you.

  • Vivo Y17 Mobile its Verry nice becouse this battry conditions are nice and super so i have suggest buy this Vivo Y17 mobile.

  • such an amazing phone with exciting features.. Helio P35 makes it the best budget smartphone

  • itÂ’s all ok but Problem is picture quality very poor

  • Best mobile bettry ram rom camera speed performance , only display 720 but 720 b ok ha, my opinion after 2 day using

  • 720p screen for this kind of price? unacceptable at the most

  • The only lacking is a snapdragon chipset

  • Impressive features along with Helio P35 chipset.. quite exciting

  • Impressive features like huge battery life, triple camera module and massive storage.. all backed by Helio P35 which is quite powerful

  • how's it's back build quality and tell me about its slim?

  • This phone could last at least 2 days of use, 12nm chipset, hd screen and 5000 mah battery!

  • Only hd display is a huge draw back for this phone

  • Is this phone having display problem ?

  • Dedicated

  • does have slot micro sd ?

  • good phone

  • 18w fast charging

  • Where is available to buy?
