Vivo Y28e and Vivo Y28s Full Specifications
Both the Vivo Y28s and Vivo Y28e share a number of key hardware features. The display is a 6.56-inch HD+ LCD panel with a resolution of 1612 × 720 pixels, a 90Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling, and a peak brightness of 840 nits. Under the hood, both phones are powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ 5G processor, paired with up to 8GB of RAM. Internal storage can be expanded up to 1TB via a microSD card.
On the software side, both devices ship with Android 14 layered with Funtouch OS 14. A 5000mAh battery keeps the lights on, and 15W wired charging is supported.
Camera Differences Between Y28s and Y28e
The camera setup is where the two models diverge. The Vivo Y28s features a 50MP Sony IMX852 primary sensor on the rear, accompanied by a 2MP secondary camera. The front camera is an 8MP shooter for selfies and video calls.
The Vivo Y28e takes a more modest approach with a 13MP main rear camera, a 2MP secondary sensor, and a 5MP front-facing camera — a trade-off that helps keep the price accessible.
Key Hardware Differentiator: Fingerprint Sensor
Another notable difference is biometric security. The Vivo Y28s includes a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for quick and convenient unlocking, while the Vivo Y28e does not feature this hardware.
