The powerful Vivo phone 12GB RAM variant has officially launched in China, marking the latest addition to the Y100 series.

- The Vivo Y100i Power packs a 6,000mAh battery with 44W fast charging — a notable upgrade over the 5,000mAh cell in the standard Y100i.
- It ships with 12GB LPDDR4x RAM (plus 12GB virtual RAM), a Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset, and 512GB of onboard storage.
Vivo Y100i Power Specifications: Everything You Need to Know
Vivo has packed this mid-range powerhouse with hardware that punches well above its price point. Here is a breakdown of every key specification.
Display, Processor, and Performance
The Y100i Power features a 6.64-inch IPS LCD display with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2388 pixels and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate — ideal for everyday scrolling and casual gaming. Under the hood, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 chipset handles all processing duties, running Android 13-based Origin OS 3. Vivo has also incorporated a 639mm² liquid cooling heat pipe and an 8,736mm² graphite sheet to manage thermals during sustained workloads.
Storage and memory are equally generous. The phone ships with 12GB LPDDR4x RAM, expandable with an additional 12GB of virtual RAM, alongside a spacious 512GB UFS 2.2 internal storage. This combination makes the Y100i Power a strong contender for users who multitask heavily or store large media libraries.
Camera and Connectivity
On the camera front, the rear panel houses a 50-megapixel main sensor paired with a 2-megapixel depth sensor — a configuration suited to portrait photography and everyday shots. The front-facing 8-megapixel camera handles selfies and video calls comfortably.
Connectivity options include 5G support, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, and a USB-C port, making this a fully capable modern device. It is a dual-SIM handset, which is a practical advantage for users who juggle work and personal numbers.
Battery Life and Charging
One of the standout upgrades from the standard Y100i is the battery. Where the earlier model carried a 5,000mAh cell, the Y100i Power steps up to a robust 6,000mAh battery with 44W fast charging support. For users who spend long hours away from a power outlet, this capacity improvement is a meaningful real-world benefit. The phone measures 164.64 x 75.8 x 9.1mm and weighs 199.6 grams — reasonable for a device of this battery size.
Vivo Y100i Power Price and Availability
The Vivo Y100i Power has launched in China at a price of 2,099 yuan, which translates to approximately $295 in the US market. For Indian consumers, the estimated price is expected to be around Rs 24,500, though an official India launch has not yet been confirmed.
The device is available in three colour options: black, white, and blue, giving buyers a clean set of choices to match personal style.
