  • Good for less demanding users.

    Very good phone for less demanding users. Nice design, good RAM memory, Extended SD slot, nice but not excelent sound (Mono speaker), nice screen but not supported over 60 refreshrate (IPS screen).

    Sometimes fingerprint sensor can get stuck and you need to enter 4 digital pin. Good but not very good chipset, because from time to time can freezes the screen because of low cpu speed and slow ufs memory.

    Camera takes good pictures in daytime but not the same in the evening (night).

    Battery can go over one day (big plus for this phone).


    I say again that the phone is great for non-demanding users.

  • It is a surprisingly very good phone for the price.

    I was honestly shocked at how good the Vivo Y33s 128GB ended up being. It was a big downgrade in performance from my Samsung Galaxy S10e 128GB which was virtually a flagship device when I first got it. The Vivo Y33s however is on the opposite end of the scale classed as a budget device. It has a Mediatek Helio G80 for its CPU. Which is honestly not great in 2022 but it still does the job anyway for all basic tasks. Gaming CPU it is not despite Mediatek claiming the G series of their cpu range is for gaming. Yes but for low to mid range games. It lags in Diablo immortal on low to medium settings. I have not even bothered to try it with Call of Duty mobile as I am certain it will be almost unplayable based on it struggling to run 3d type games. It can get quite hot too after extensive gaming sessions. As a phone though it is great. Call quality is very good overall. Oddly better than my Samsung Galaxy S10e. Battery life is fantastic and it charges very quickly. The 1080p screen quality is amazing for a budget phone and one of if not the best for a sub 300 aud phone. All the other phones in Australia had awful 720p screens or some other problem like no headphone jack to which this phone does have. It also has a Micro SD slot which seem to be disappearing on higher end phones. The Vivo Y33s really is the phone that could. It's tough too. I've dropped it about 10 times and every time it is fine. I dropped my Samsung Galaxy S10e a second time and it was never the same. It goes to prove big brand names and flagship phones are not always better. If you want a phone that is reliable and works as a damn phone should then this is the phone for you. It's basic but it works day in day out like a trooper.

    Pros
    • Has actual decent call quality
    • It works like a phone should
    • Great screen quality for the price
    • Excellent Battery life and charges quickly
    • Dropped it multiple times and is fine. It is a tough phone.
    Cons
    • It is not good for high end mobile gaming
    • Takes pretty ordinary photos
    • Taking videos is okay but not great
    • Has a really annoying safety feature the keeps changing the volume because in the EU it is considered too loud.

    It's a good phone for everyday use and relatively average gaming, although its cameras leave something to be desired.

    One of the best quality-price ratios on the market

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
