The Vivo Y35 5G is the company's latest budget 5G smartphone, launched in China as part of the popular Y series. It packs a large 5,000mAh battery, Android 13 out of the box, and a Dimensity 700 chipset — making it one of the most spec-rich affordable 5G handsets from Vivo this year.
Vivo Y35 5G Price and Availability
The Vivo Y35 5G has launched in China in three storage configurations. The base 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variant is priced at 1,199 yuan (approximately $172). Stepping up to 6GB RAM + 128GB storage costs 1,399 yuan (approximately $201), while the top-end 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant is priced at 1,499 yuan (approximately $215). The phone is available in three colour options: Black, Blue, and Gold. As of now, it has only been confirmed for the Chinese market; Vivo may introduce it in other regions at a later date. It is worth noting that the 4G variant of the Y35 was made available only in select Asian countries.
Display and Design
The phone sports a 6.51-inch IPS LCD panel with a Teardrop Notch cutout for the selfie camera. The display delivers an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1,600 pixels with a 20:9 aspect ratio, 1,500:1 contrast ratio, and a pixel density of 269 PPI. The panel supports a 60Hz refresh rate for smooth everyday scrolling, along with a 120Hz touch sampling rate for more responsive input.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Vivo Y35 5G is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset paired with LPDDR4x RAM in 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB configurations. All three variants come with 128GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage, which can be expanded further via a dedicated microSD card slot. The device ships with Android 13 and runs Vivo's OriginOS Ocean UI on top.
Camera Specifications
On the rear, the Vivo Y35 5G features a dual-camera setup comprising a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel macro lens, accompanied by an LED flash. For selfies and video calls, there is a 5-megapixel front-facing camera housed in the teardrop notch.
