Display and Performance
The Y22s features a 6.55-inch Full HD+ LCD panel with a waterdrop notch, a 90Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling, and a peak brightness of 530 nits. The screen-to-body ratio of 89.67% keeps bezels slim for a budget offering. Powering the experience is the Snapdragon 680, a 6nm octa-core chipset well-suited for everyday tasks, social media, and light gaming. The 4G-only connectivity keeps costs down while still delivering fast LTE speeds.
Camera Setup
Photography on the Vivo Y22s revolves around a 50-megapixel primary sensor with an f/1.8 aperture — generous for a sub-₹21,000 phone — backed by a 2-megapixel portrait lens for background blur effects. On the front, an 8-megapixel selfie camera sits in the waterdrop notch. The wide f/1.8 aperture on the main sensor helps capture more light in mixed and low-light environments, while the portrait lens allows the phone to calculate depth information for bokeh-style shots. Selfie quality from the 8MP front camera is in line with what competing budget handsets offer, making it a reasonable choice for video calls and social media portraits.
Battery Life and Connectivity
A 5000mAh battery is one of the Y22s's strongest selling points, promising all-day and potentially two-day endurance on moderate use. 18W fast charging via the USB Type-C port recharges the cell at a decent pace. Connectivity is well-rounded for the price: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, GPS, Glonass, OTG, and FM Radio are all present. Security is handled by a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for quick and reliable unlocking. The handset weighs 192 grams, a comfortable heft given the large battery.
Price and Availability
Vivo has launched the Y22s exclusively in Vietnam at this stage, making it available through the e-commerce platforms Shopee and Lazada at 5,990,000 Vietnamese dong (approximately ₹20,500). Two colour variants are on offer: Starlight Blue and Yellow Green. Global availability, including an India launch, has not yet been announced.
