Is the Vivo Y31 worth buying?
For its price in Malaysia, the Vivo Y31 overall is a good product. Its design and color options are beautiful and you get 128GB internal storage which can be further expandable. However, the phone features can be on odds and ends.
While you get a big 6.58-inch Full HD+ screen, the phone running on the Snapdragon 662 chipset only supports a basic 60Hz refresh rate which can be a lackluster experience. Similarly, you also get a large 5,000 mAh battery that gives a pretty long battery life but only to be bare down by a limited 18W fast charging.
Still, the Vivo Y31 does come with its own set of perks and maybe the phone for you. It’s an all-around device that provides smooth performance and can last you a whole day streaming online HD movies or gaming.
