Earlier this year, Vivo had released an entry-level 5G smartphone called Vivo Y28. Now, the company has announced its sibling Vivo Y28s for the global markets. Both smartphones seem very identical in terms of appearance and configuration. Let’s dive into the main configuration of Vivo Y28s.
The only major change found in the new smartphone is its processor. Vivo Y28s is powered by the MediaTek Dimensitiy 6300 instead of the Dimensity 6080 used on the vanilla Y28. The new chip uses a slightly more powerful CPU with 2x Cortex-A78 cores clocked at 2.4GHz and 6x Cortex-A55 @2.0GHz. Meanwhile, the GPU remains the same as Mali-G57 MC2 on both phones. The rest of the specifications are almost (except software upgrade) same on both devices.

On top of that, the device is also offering virtual RAM (6GB + 6GB or 8GB + 8GB) options, which is nothing more than a marketing gimmick.
