  • What r the applications used to move app storage to sd card

  • Nope

  • It's really great phone! Bt it has no value for money! Internal storage is low compared to today's standards. But it will not hang or heat up!

  • good quality

  • good quality super se upar vivo all phone Best

  • good quality super se upar vivo all phone Best

  • Is this the same as Vivo Y55 or Vivo 1603? I purchased mine last February 2017 on Vivo Kiosk and it was a durable phone. I throw it on the floor with screen facing down twice and luckily only the screen protector broked. Typing from the phone right now.

  • I am using this phone 4 months some times heats but no lag

  • yes.its a 3rd class mobile.....very hang up this mobile.....bakwas

  • Vivo y55s is a 3rd class photo is a totally hang smartphone Inbuild junk clean but after use social networking this phone was hang And screen is not working

  • we can exchange our vivo y55 to v7

  • Vivo Y55s is a good phone, snapdragon 425 with 3GB of ram Sad to say I regret buying it because vivo wont create a nougat/oreo update, so it's stuck with marshmallow forever. But if you dont mind the updates/upgrades and you simply want to play games, do social media, etc.... then its a good buy

  • hey guys! i am buying vivo y55s can that be a good ph for playing games or get touch in social media max 9 to 10 hrs in a day?

  • Vivo y 55s is very good ph. gd camera, gd looking, gd battery backup. overall very nc nd gd looking ph.

  • this phone is nice but there's one thing that i don't really like. I cant move apps from internal storage to sd card. My internal storage almost full so i need to move some applications to sd card.

  • Anyone please tell me whether it is water resistant or not

  • 11000

  • I use thia phone more than 5 month. And work nicely...😘

  • It was a good game!! It just need a bit of renovation. it needs more RAM and ROM. it needs more storage.... BTW, it was a good phone!! :-)

  • Same Experience Guys!!! I bought Vivo Y55s last December 2017 and im curious after a week when i reboot the phone it became more laggy i update my software but still it lags i test it by playing heavy games like asphalt 8 the result more and more lags i encounter i test my other device my vivo y69 but it works well although its mediatek it never lags also it heats when i charge on Y55s so before my warranty expired i change my Y55s to Oppo F7 what a worst experience with vivo

  • Totally bad phone ever, so much heating problems while playing games, camera quality was very bad. I brought this phone 6 months back so many times visited service center for heating and hang issue. They are just doing flash for mobile. Problem not yet rectified.Do not buy this mobile

  • The phone heats up and becomes hot. Just 4 days old phone.

  • Try to reboot your phone after deleting files. 😊

  • Vivo Y55s is very good phone.

  • which is better coz I'm looking for a phone for my mom. Sony Xperia L1 or Vivo Y55s ? Thanks

  • Do not buy vivo y55s. Prefer vivo y66 or vivo y69. I didn't know about that before i bought y55s. It has not front moonlight camera. It has only 5 mp front camera but in y66 it has 16 mp front camera. I didn't know about that. 😢😢

  • I bought this phone before 4 months it worked nicely overall for 2 month then it started showing problem with internal memory space issue. Since 1 month it has become very slow and even while unlocking phone it get hang and takes 30 to 40 seconds to just unlock phone. My friends says that wenever they call me maximum time they cudnt get connected to me Network poor Camera OK Battery very good Looks nice Screen wonderful

  • i updated but also same problem

  • Is the the glass on vivo 55s preinstalled ? Is it removable ?

  • It's just waste of money, never go to buy this phone. It has many drawbacks : Camera is poor (both front and back). No notification light. Every shopkeeper forced you to buy this phone because they have good profit. Today I bought this phone and very disappointed.

  • maybe the ram are full that is why you can not install or play the app you installed. rom is16gb and not ram. ram is 3gb that is why it showed 3gb. ram is different from rom. ram is the one who took care of your apps installed on your phone. try to search about rom and ram maybe you can understand the difference between the two of them

  • Good phone and speed good battery life

  • Guys... you see that this vivo y55s looks soo nice... why not , this phone copied the design of iphones. . . now i am going to tell you that how nice phone it is.. ok for this we need another phone for comparing its specs.. .. lets compare this phone with xiaomi 'the redmi 4a'... . (considering only 2gb varient phones from both brands) .. first of all its camera.. both have same camera , rear 13mp and front 5mp , rear camera of both phone performs good but, the front camera of redmi 4a is slightly better then this vivo y55s... .. now its display.. redmi 4a comes with 5 inches hd display with 296 ppi density and vivo y55s have 5.5 inches hd display with 282 ppi density.. . both phones have equal internal storage 16 gb.. . both phones have same processor the snapdragon 425 . both phones having 2gb of ram ( remember we are considering only 2 gb varient ) . (till now both phones are equal in specs ,lets see what happens next ) . graphics.. redmi 4a have adreno 308 gpu and vivo y55s have adreno 306.. . battery.. redmi 4a have 3120mah battery and vivo y55s have only 2730 mah battery.. . (now ?? what happen to vivo y55s ?? are it's beauty get faded ?? ) . i will tell you more......... . the redmi 4a supports IR blaster , but this vivo y55s dosent support this. . the user interface of redmi 4a is miui , this is a good interface, which have many features enabled and this interface is xiaomi's own interface , but our great vivo y55s have funtouch os which is a badly implemented replica of ios' interface , with many of the android features disabled,.. .. now from this .. the results is clear , redmi 4a is clear winner here,... now wanna know the price of these phones... .. the redmi 4a costs only INR 6000 Rs. while this vivo y55s costs around 12000 Rs.. . see.. the 4a gives good specs and performance in just half of this vivo y55s price.. .. so guys you get an idea that this vivo y55s have equal specs of any entry level android phone worth of 5000 Rs... .. here the vivo charge 7000 Rs only for the fake iphone looks.. .. really vivo does a great job,, hats off... .. so guys , please dont buy this phone , if you want to save your hard earned money.. please.. it's request..

  • Yes it should have included call recorder , even other call recorders dont work on this phone

  • At a time, only one sim can run on 4g/3g network. So by default other sim will run on 2g network.

  • for camera music very good i try water test 2 minute not broken

  • Yar.. There's no light for incoming notification.. I'm waiting for it but didn't have.. Upset

  • Try removing the plastic cover provided with the set, and try system will not heat up as it worked with me

  • Too many apps drain battery even though they are not used, but run in background, curtail unwanted apps or install system app to handle your battery draining apps such as AVG

  • Don't go by what you hear few might be having problems but what you need is more important than what others have been asking for. I did buy as Samsung hangs what ever RAM. VIVO Y55S is indeed a good product as your backup gets stored in cloud storage due which phone hang is less, light, sleek etc. Rest is yours

  • may be i have purches this phone,and it is Light notification is available ??

  • In my opinion, do not buy a vivo smartphone. They do not provide OS upgrade and their customer support representatives are naive. I advise you to buy other brands such as huawei.

  • nice phone, camera quality is fine, battery backup good

  • Does it support HIFI music

  • Guys!!!Awesome mobile phone..Processor is smooth no heating issue while playing heavy games like ASPHALT NITRO ,NOVA etc. 3 GB ram boosts the mobile and lo lag appears in multitaskin..battery is nice and runs easily 1 day.. This is my own experience and I am very happy that I bought a bestphone..Oh!!!! I forgot the cameras they are too good and captures good pictures in low lignt and in natural light they are awesome................

  • ho for oppo A57

  • Yes suitable to jio sim...

  • No

  • Don't buy....battery sucks.!!

  • guys vivo y55 or huawei y6 II? does vivo y55 has heating issue too like in huawei? Some people said vivo y55 is smooth, others said it lags. Your opinion guys? :/

  • The camera sucks when taking pictures in dark surrounding. Sometimes its blurry and looks fake in normal condition. I had to use the 'Ultra HD' mode to make the picture looks real.

  • I am also facing this issue and it's hectic. Is there any possibility or can we expect an update to move to sdcard ?

  • While charging the charger will got hot

  • Vivo anytime best cell

  • "s" means speed

  • in indonesia..this phone is cheaper..only 2.300.000 rupiah..and i got 4g phone..with better ram and camera..better than samsung in same price..for that price i only get samsung with 3G with better camera or 4g samsung with little MP camera and little ram..but if i have 3.500.000 rupiah..i will choose samsung..because in that range price..vivo (i forget the type) didnt have better spesification than the other competitor in the same price

  • Vivo Y55s or samsung galaxy j5 prime . Which one is better?

  • in philippines this we have vivo y55 . what is diffirence between y55 and y55s?

  • Will it supports Vivo Hi-fi music?

  • Is in this phone bodys metal ??

  • is it volty phone

  • No there is no fingerprint scanner in this phone.

  • This not a nice phone.Only a good front camera otherwise it does not have fingerprint scanner and all the other phones of this price group have.Vivo always focus on its front camera.It also lags a lot.I would prefer you to buy a Xiaomi,Samsung or Motorolla.

  • why my vivo y53 always heat? and the battery cant last long

  • I just got this phone from a local shop and just now in morning I got to know that no apps are transferring to SD I took the phone to shop keeper and now he say they forgot to give that update even asphalt is in internal memory so is any one facing the same issue please ping me up asap apps transferring to SD card issue the microsd is ok tesed in vivo y51l and Nexus too

  • Value for money???... Seriously???..

  • very good phone

  • Yes.

  • fingerprint sensor????

  • There is an option please keep in search

  • is it a 4g volte phone

  • Hi, I have brought two Vivo Y55S phones some ten days ago. I appreciate this phone because: 1. It is made in India. 2. Good appearance and sleek build. 3. Value for money - I got each for 12,000/- 4. I am not a technical guy - but these phones are giving good service, for me, atleast. Negatives: Octacore Processor would have been better for serious gamers; The supplied screen protector is a finger print magnet;& The front camera has scope for improvement.

  • U can't move apps from phone to SD card also there is no option for default settings of SD card

  • Tft display

  • y55s its quite better don't put it down too much it gives better performance n its not cheap as you tell about it.. IPhone is not Android it means only uses for calls n online web search apart from its just a brand name.. But users need as they want guys you one reading this can buy y55s with trustees.. Y55s adorble too..
