Editor Rating
3.6/5

Vivo Y16 features a brand new 2.5D curved design aesthetic but merged with a flat frame design to give off a sophisticated unibody look that is made from scratch-resistant and anti-fingerprint materials. The back panel is completely flat, with the camera module sitting flush with the surface. The only thing that rises even a few millimetres above the panel is the camera rings that protect the lens. The only way to tell the difference between the two spaces is a slight change in the design, which takes on a plain yet glossy finish, as opposed to the diagonal stripe design that is present on the rest of the surface.

Bottom Line

Vivo Y16 is a stylish and affordable smartphone which features a decent processor, a massive battery, and average cameras. But the real issue comes with the extremely slow charging speeds for such a large battery, and the performance of the selfie camera in lower lighting conditions.
