Disclaimer:
  • Only specific apps support 120 Hz. In different apps or game interfaces, the screen refresh rate and touch sampling rate may be slightly different.
  • Y38 5G in other regions: HD+ display; 760 nits typical brightness.
  • High Brightness Mode is automatically enabled when the ambient light intensity exceeds 10,000 lux, increasing screen brightness to 1000 nits. This feature provides users with improved visibility in bright environments. When the ambient light falls below 10,000 lux or the phone temperature rises, HBM is automatically disabled to prevent excessive power consumption.
  • The TÜV Rheinland low blue light certification is passed when the eye protection mode is turned on and the eye-care effect is set in the strongest mode.
  • The typical battery capacity is 6000 mAh, and the rated battery capacity is 5870 mAh. 
  • According to tests conducted at vivo labs, the battery is designed to retain up to 80% of its original capacity at 1600 complete charge cycles, which is approximately equivalent to about 4 years of use based on a simulation of a user's daily behavior (fully charging and discharging the battery once a day). The above-mentioned data was obtained from vivo labs, not as a quality guarantee in daily use. Actual performance may vary. 
  • "50-Month Smooth Experience" indicates that this device has passed the 50-month smoothness testing in vivo laboratory test environments through the optimization of software, hardware and other comprehensive technologies. However, 50-month smooth experience does not guarantee absolute freedom from lag. Due to differences in network environments, individual usage habits, and other factors, the actual experience may vary.
  • 8 GB extended RAM is realized by software.
  • When a large number of apps are running in the background, it can save up to 600 MB of memory space. The actual amount of space that can be saved is dynamically adjusted as the scene changes, and subject to actual use.
  • APP Retainer only works when the apps are in the background and have not been manually exited. It currently only applies to over 100 apps on the vivo trustlist.
  • A HD photo is approximately 5 MB in size, a track of lossless music tracks is about 30 MB, and a heavy-load game takes up around 2 GB. The actual numbers may vary.
  • This product is rated as IP64 for splash, water, and dust resistance under IEC standard 60529 and was tested under controlled laboratory conditions. The resistance to splashes, water and dust is not permanent and may be reduced due to daily use. Do not charge the mobile phone when it is wet. Refer to Safety information in Settings for cleaning and drying instructions. Damage due to liquid ingress is not covered by the warranty.
  • These laboratory test results do not serve as a definite indicator for quality assurance during daily usage. The precise outcome might differ slightly depending on the test software version, specific testing environment, and the particular version involved. Daily-scratch resistance: Zero scratches on the surface after being rubbed 250 times with a steel wool (1 kg); Drop tests: Being dropped from a height of 1m in multiple ways, including on six faces and four corners; Drop tests from a small height: Being dropped to a tabletop surface; Pressure tests: Being sat on.
  • Dynamic Light will be made available via OTA updates on some batches of phones.
  • The product pictures and features shown are for reference only. The images shown on the display screen are simulated, and for demonstration purposes only. Please take actual products as standard.
  • All data is based on our technical design parameters, laboratory test results and supplier test data. Actual performance may vary depending on software version, specific test environment and phone model. All comparisons shown on this page refer to vivo products only.
