  • LTPS: 5000 mah battery with 10 w charger is horrible !!!
  • Glooo: Better cameras but still 720p screen...Vivo Y19 has FHD+screen.
  • Alex94: U can play every game with that chipset..
  • Glamgir: Nowadays 9.3mm thikness and micro USB isn't acceptable. Extra 2 MP 2 cameras only for impress customers. 5 MP depth sensor camera and 8 MP telephoto camera would have been far better than both 2 MP.
