Vivo Y200 – Full Review & Specification

Smartphone manufacturer Vivo has expanded its Y-series lineup by introducing the Vivo Y200 Plus in the Chinese market. This new entry-level device joins the existing members of the Y200 family, which already includes the Vivo Y200, Vivo Y200 Pro 5G, Vivo Y200e, Vivo Y200i, Vivo Y200T, and Vivo Y200GT. Despite belonging to the same series, the Vivo Y200 Plus offers distinct differences in both design and chipset.

The Vivo Y200 Plus features a flat display with a noticeably thick bottom bezel, a contrast to the Vivo Y200 Pro 5G’s curved-edge screen and slimmer frame design.

On the back, the Vivo Y200 Plus sports a square-shaped camera module with rounded corners. Inside the module, two camera sensors are arranged horizontally.
