vivo Y81 - User Reviews

  • My phone updated yesterday and the same thing happened to me that Its proximity sensor is not working, the screen doesn't become off when I am on call in fact Its glance screen is not working nor double tap to wake up is working. I have used only for 7-8 months and this thing came up.

  • Nope this phone is very bad i was playin pubg then it didnt freezed it stucked on there and wont respone when i press the in game controls

  • after software update in my phone light sensor, compass, proximity sensor does not work, when i was going to after sales service they said to me we will change your mother board after 20 days because currently out of stock.

  • No it doesnt have notification light bro..

  • the same thing happened with my model. I was using my phone, suddenly It gets stuck and then shut down. About two months is passed I have reported to the company, they said the motherboard is Demanged but they did not do anything about it. more then a month has passed since I reported and no positive feedback is received from the company. Total wastage of money. :-/

  • Today while i was chatting by my phone suddenly it became switched off.. I tried to turn it on.. But it didn't work.. Its been almost 6 hours but it is still switched off.. So what should i do now.. Its been only 7 months till i bought this phone.. Please help

  • If any one tell me, Vivo Y81 have notification light or not?

  • Well you better not hate Snapdragon because it is the leader on performance compared to other android chips. Mediatek, sad to say, although im asian is still falling behind, and still in the midrange category.

  • Hi. Does this phone supports fast charging? I've heard that mediatek also have its own solution for fast charging like qualcomm did; Mediatek Pump Express. Does this phone support it?

  • How much was it jejeboi?!

  • Yeah im a pinoy and it's a decent phone for playing ML... no lag issues

  • Thanks so much. It is very helpful. Can you also tell me how much you got it?

  • Hi! I'm currently using this phone. I bought mine about 3 weeks ago, and so far, here's my experience from it: 1. The battery life is quite impressive. One full-charge could last for 3 days. I use my phone mostly for phone calls, text messages, picture-taking and internet (read news and watch some YouTube videos). I also occasionally play Disney Heroes in it. 2. The cameras are not as I want them to be. You might need to be steady for a few seconds when taking pictures, or else you'd get a blurred photo. There seems to be an issue with its auto-focus. It allows high-definition pictures, but the pictures seem to be a bit brighter than what I want (I'm not sure if it would need to be set up first, but so far, I could not find any way to set it up). 3. The apps load much faster and so far I have not experienced them hanging up on me compared with my previous phone (LG Stylus 2). 4. The 64GB phone memory is remarkable. It also has an expandable memory (I'm not sure how much, but I'm using a 32 GB memory card for my pictures) 5. The face-unlock feature is very convenient. 6. The screen quality is very crisp. 7. The design and feel is very good. It does not look cheap, and it is quite easy on the eyes. So far that's all I can think of now. I would give the phone a rating of 8/10. Hope this review helps. Best of luck to you!

  • Any Pinoy's here using this device? Just want to ask if it is a good phone? I'm on a budget and found out it can be bought for 4500.00 PHP, but want to know if it can be used for ML.. Thanks

  • Market Price is 24000. but could be purchased in 22000 on discount

  • Pls tell me, y81 with present price?

  • Phones cannot be brought back, you should've Tested the phone before buying. Always ask for specs or features before buying so you can compare it to your current phone

  • My vivo y81 Has a loy of issue. Wifi not wotking as well as bluetooth. landscape mode not working. Thr battery was very fast to be drained. Dont know what to do.

  • I am a user of Vivo y71 before and now I am using vivoy81 to campare the two phones when it comes to camera Vivo y71 is good.More clear and not too white unlike with this vivoy81.Though The RAM and ROM of vivoy81 is much more higher to y71 but I dont like the camera .its a yellowish and during night time not so clear unlike 7y71.can you help me I just bought the y81 3 days ago and I regretting .

  • My perspective (Philippines) You can buy it here for 9K here in the Philippines. Gaming is smooth epecially for open world games like PUBG ROS and such. Storage is 32GB thats not bad at all. 3GB RAM to handle high end games, not bad. Camera is fine 13mp rear, 8mp Front. Can open 3 apps at once, not bad. So overall is 8/10 not bad at all. Smooth gameplay, Good camera at specs. You should totally buy it.

  • the battery is really great... lasts forever... i like the design, the light weight, the camera takes great pics and the clear screen.. best buy for me so far...

  • Zenfone Max m1

  • y81 is better then j6

  • Never go with j6 as the display is pentile and u can see the pixels in text

  • Go for Samsung j6

  • What best...??? Vivo Y81..4GB RAM..IT"S VERY FUNNY.. PLS DON'T BUY Y81 Series Any variants.. Low Density Display 270ppi.. Front -5MP..Pic.. object is very Poor and Feel Bad.. Price to high Performance to low.. Don't buy y81..y83..y83 Pro..you know why?? Only Camera 8MP in y83/pro.. Density is similar y81/y83/pro Go for other brand..

  • Go for J6/J6+ No Vivo y81 Poor Camera low density DISPLAY (270:-B)

  • Vivo y81 is best

  • Brigh Display No Sharpness In Display Image Clear but No Shining No Sharpness Display Density Is Low (270) Calling Quality Is Good But low Sound (do) But Music Is Good..

  • What kind of MTK phones were those? I had a locally-branded phone (rebranded Chinese Jiayu S3) with MediaTek MT6752 1.7ghz octacore processor with 3gb ram, 16gb storage, Mali-T760 MP2 gpu, with LTE and NFC. It lasted (and is still lasting) for 3 years and still going strong and fast to this day. Decent camera quality from Sony IMX214 sensor. I just had to change battery and charger. Only Phl Peso 6,999.00 (around US$120) at that time.

  • Go for j6 bcoz y81 battery drains faster

  • go for vivo y81 ...

  • make sure preferred 4G was selected. Turn ON airplane mode and turn it OFF, restart the phone and check data again

  • yes at the back

  • choose Realme 2 pro

  • J6 vs Y81 - USB Hotspot Tethering comparison Y81, somehow not working, it finds a hard to establish the connection between the phone and the computer. J6 works very good. The connection setup very easy and runs smoothly. I even found that other Samsung phones are good in USB Hotspot Tethering. If you use USB Hotspot Tethering quite frequently, J6 should be a better option.

  • I am confuse which phone is better Samsung J6 or Vivo Y81 Reply fast....

  • Front camera is very poor and phone prize so high compair phone function.

  • Vivo is goood looking phone. It is smoothly working.

  • Y81 vs J6 - Camera J6 camera seems to be working better. almost zero delay between shots. but Y81 sometimes takes around 1 sec delay to take 2nd shot. [photo quality not yet compared]

  • is this good phone will i purchase it?? plz reply fast as i have to purchase it today only......

  • i gifted to my frnd...... i feel shame to gifted this phone he is not getting calls.... and worest camera quality...

  • Just get the Redmi 6, same soc, cheaper too. Doesnt heat up, no lag issues so far. I am so loving it.

  • Y81 vs J6 - Speaker comparison I have tried to compare the sound non-professional by hearing with my ears. By playing the same ringtone sound effect, I found that Y81 is slightly louder than J6

  • Yes, I have purchased both phone. Y81 is way more better than J6. J6 doesn't have light sensor, but Y81 has, which enables automatic brightness adjustment. Both phones are using octa-core cpu. J6 maximum clock speed per core is 1.6GHz, Y81 is 2.0GHz, which means Y81 has faster data processing power. J6 will be more easily to generate heat than Y81 when handling high amount data computation. 3DMark GPU Gaming Benchmark running "Ice Storm" test, J6 scores 7896, Y81 scores 10692. Which means Y81 has better gaming experience than J6. Y81 has larger screen size, lighter, thinner. but J6 has smaller size, thicker, and heavier. J6 installed with lots of bloatware (Samsung's apps, Samsung Experience, Samsung Member, Samsung themes, Samsung Account, Samsung this... Samsung that....) that run a lots of background sync services and other services which consume lots of battery. I have to uninstall or disable most of them to keep the battery last longer. J6's launcher has Bixby - Virtual Assistant created by Samsung installed by default, I find this kinda redundant since Google Assistant works way better than Bixby. J6 battery capacity: 3000 mAh Y81 battery capacity: 3900 mAh Y81 last long in normal condition. J6 last long... with most default apps disable / uninstalled Y81 has build-in lock-screen wallpaper changer J6 build-in lock-screen wallpaper is static J6 has SOS mode build-in, press power key 3 times quickly will send SOS Y81 doesn't has this feature but Y81 has smartclick, when screen is off, hold volume down to launch function quickly >> flash light / record audio / camera / facebook / or other app J6 doesn't has this feature Y81, double tap on black lock off screen will unlock the phone. It can unlock with power key too. J6 doesn't has this feature. Press power key to unlock. Y81 runs Android 8.1 (upgraded version) J6 runs Android 8.0 Strongly prefer Y81, my impression is, Y81 is lightweight in both software and physical material. battery last longer. J6 is heavier in both software and physical material. battery consumes faster.

  • Using this phone from a week My overall opinions about this phone are 1. Appealing UI 2. Decent looking phone 3. Good performance for an average user 4. Great battery hold gives full day on heavy unsafe The only drawbacks I found in this phone are: 1. Very slow charging takes about 3 hours to charge it completely (0-100) 2. No notification lights 3. Sometimes lags a little during heavy games Overall satisfied with the phone

  • After minus the oreo and funtouch in 32gb rom.how much space left in internal storage?

  • very good experience best phone amazing

  • I am sure very much satisfied with the performance, usability and versatility of this phone.it feels great in hand , does have a modern mtk chipset purpose-built for energy efficiency. The notch is perfect it looks gorgeous with tall all view display.sunlight legibility is OK screen has decent colors and contrast.it comes with oreo 8.1,with advanced optimisations. Battery life is long-term browsing is a pleasure. Cameras are more than ok.it has dedicated card slot too.i absolutely love this gem.

  • For 200 eur it should have 64GB disk space and 4GB ram like Xiaomi A1.

  • There is no fingerprint sensor...
