Vivo Y50i Officially Launches with Subtle Changes
Vivo has expanded its Y-series lineup with the launch of the Vivo Y50i, a device that looks almost identical to the Y50 and Y50m but with one very minor adjustment.
The smartphone features a 6.74-inch flat LCD display with HD+ resolution (720 × 1600 pixels), a 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz touch sampling rate, and up to 1,000 nits peak brightness. Under the hood, it runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with 6GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB eMMC 5.1 storage.
For optics, the Y50i offers a 13MP main rear camera and a 5MP front-facing sensor for selfies. Powering the device is a massive 6,000mAh battery, though unlike its siblings, it only supports 15W wired charging instead of the faster 44W charging found on the Y50 and Y50m.
Additional highlights include a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Android 15 with OriginOS 5. The phone measures 167.3 x 76.95 x 8.19 mm, weighs 204g, and is available in Black, Azure, and Platinum color options.
Priced at CNY 1,499 (around $210), the Vivo Y50i is currently limited to the Chinese market, with no confirmation yet on global availability.
The only real difference from its predecessors? Slower charging support. Despite this, the Y50i retains the same design, performance hardware, and large battery capacity, making it a curious addition to the series.
