Budget buyers get a Helio G85 chipset here, paired with 4GB RAM and either 64GB or 128GB of storage, plus a microSD slot if that's not enough room. It's not a performance flagship, but the octa-core setup handles everyday apps and light gaming fine. The 6.56-inch IPS LCD runs at 90Hz, which is a nice touch at this tier, and it hits 840 nits peak brightness for outdoor visibility.
The vivo Y18 price in Malaysia starts from RM401, making it one of the more accessible options on the market right now. A 5000mAh battery backs everyday use, though charging tops out at 15W wired, so expect a slower top-up than pricier phones. The 50MP rear camera with PDAF handles daylight shots well, while the 8MP front camera covers basic selfie needs.
Body-wise, it's a plastic frame and back with a glass front, and it carries IP54 splash resistance, useful protection for a phone in this price bracket. It comes in Mocha Brown and Wave Aqua.
