Performance Capability

One cool feature is that you can add a memory card to expand storage up to 1TB, and the phone also lets you use extra virtual memory to help with performance.

Camera Test

The 13MP rear camera of the Vivo Y18i does a decent job taking regular photos with the ability to shoot video in 1080p@30fps resolution. On the back side, there’s another second 0.08MP camera (although it is likely to be just for decoration as its resolution seems too small). For selfies, there is a 5MP front-facing camera that takes relatively okay photos and video clips. It is supported by an LED flash and has Panorama to assist with various shooting situations in the main camera.

Battery

The battery inside the Vivo Y18i is a 5000 mAh Li-Ion that is non-removable. The battery comes with 15W wired charge support. This time Vivo provide Vivo U1 Bluetooth v5.0 for wireless connections. The phone comes with a USB 2.0 Type-C port for wired connections and an ordinary, old-fashioned and very up-to-date headphone jack of the 3.5mm variety.
