The vivo Y50 5G is official alongside the Y50m 5G – both solid entry-level smartphones for the China market. The core specs are the same; the difference is in the memory configurations – the Y50 has a 4GB option, while the Y50m starts from 6GB.
Both have a 6.74-inch 1600x720px IPS LCD with a 90Hz refresh rate, and a potent 6,000mAh battery with 44W charging. They run OriginOS 5, and are powered by the 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6300 with four RAM options – 4GB (Y50), 6GB, 8GB, and 12GB. You either get 128GB or 256GB of expandable storage.
The Y50/Y50m is equipped with two cameras: a 13MP f/2.2 wide-angle lens on the back and a 5MP selfie shooter on the front.
Both phones measure 167.3mm tall, 77mm wide, and 8.2mm thick, and weigh in at 204 grams. They’re dust tight and have some degree of water protection at IP64.
The Y50/Y50m come in Azure, Diamond Black, and Platinum and are now up for grabs from vivo’s online store. The Y50 is CNY 1,199 (around €143, INR 14,500) for the 4/128GB model, CNY 1,499 (around €180, INR 18,000) for the 6/128GB one, CNY 1,999 (around €240, INR 24,000) for an 8/256GB config, and CNY 2,299 (around €275, INR 27,600) for the 12/256GB unit.
The Y50m has the same prices – CNY 1,499, CNY 1,999, CNY 2,299 – and just lacks the base 4/128GB choice.
