vivo announces Y55s 5G with its biggest battery ever

The vivo Y55s 5G leaked in full last month when China Telecom added the phone to its database. Today the manufacturer made the phone official, confirming all the specs and features. The most impressive of them is the 6,000 mAh battery, which is the biggest ever in a vivo smartphone.

The vivo Y55s 5G (not to be confused with the vivo Y55s from 2017) is powered by a Dimensity 700 chipset, which is coupled by 8GB RAM and 128 gigs of storage.

At the front we’re looking at a 6.58” LCD with Full HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch for the 8MP camera.

There are two cameras on the back - a 50MP f/1.8 main one and a 2MP f/2.4 second one for macro shots from up to 4 cm. There’s no cam for portrait shots; the fancy AI software does all the job here. The phone has OriginOS 1.0 on top of Android 11.

The massive battery comes with 18W fast-charging support through the USB-C on the bottom. The port has a 3.5 mm audio jack to keep it company.

The vivo Y55s 5G is offered in Blue, Pink, or Black color for CNY1,699. It is yet to be launched for sale on the company website and third-party retailers in China.
