Vivo Y100A specifications

Body

The weight of Vivo Y100A is about 6.38 oz with battery, which is average compared to most of the smartphones with same size. The dimensions of this Vivo smartphone are average (6.26 x 2.89 x 0.3 inch). Smaller smartphones are more compact and easier to carry around, but they may have smaller displays that can be harder to read and interact with. A Nano SIM is a small (12.3 x 8.8 x 0.67 mm) chipcard that is used in smartphones as a subscriber identity module (SIM) for connecting to a cellular network.

System

The Vivo Y100A comes with Android OS v13.0 out of the box, but it is upgradable to the next OS. Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google based on a modified version of the Linux kernel and other open-source software. The Y100A utilizes Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 chipset. This octa-core CPU is managed by an advanced scheduler that allocates tasks to the CPU for speed and power efficiency in real time.

The Y100A utilizes Adreno 619 GPU. A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a specialized chip that is primarily designed to handle and accelerate the processing of graphics and visual data. It is responsible for rendering images, videos, and animations on a smartphone screen. Adreno GPUs are designed to work in conjunction with Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors. The latest Adreno GPUs support advanced graphics features such as high dynamic range (HDR) rendering, virtual reality, and augmented reality applications. We use AnTuTu app to measure general processing performance. AnTuTu Benchmark is the most popular benchmark app for Android phones.

Display

The Y100A features a 6.38 inch AMOLED display. AMOLED displays enable an Always-On Display feature, where a portion of the screen remains active to display information such as time, date, notifications, or custom widgets, even when the rest of the display is off. The 6.38 inch display should be large enough to provide a comfortable viewing experience for your needs, whether it's reading text, browsing the web, or watching videos.

The size of the screen is measured diagonally, from corner to corner. A larger screen typically requires more power to illuminate, which can impact battery life.

Memory

The 8 GB of RAM on the Vivo Y100A should be more than enough to handle their daily needs without any major issues. Having more RAM in a smartphone can provide benefits in terms of performance and multitasking. When you have more RAM, you can keep more apps and processes open in the background without slowing down the device. 128 GB of internal storage should be more than enough for their needs. The Y100A has 128 GB of internal storage. The memory of Vivo Y100A (8 GB) cannot be expanded, but the internal storage (128 GB) can be expanded with a compatible microSD card. A microSD card is a type of small, removable flash memory card used to store digital information.

The advantages of a multiple camera setup provide more versatility and creative possibilities, allowing you to capture a wider range of subjects and scenes with improved image quality and specialized features. The main camera of the Y100A is equipped with autofocus. An autofocus (or AF) optical system uses a sensor, a control system and a motor to focus on an automatically or manually selected point or area. Very few Android cameras come without autofocus.

Optical image stabilization is a must for anyone shooting without a tripod with a long lens or in low light conditions.
