vivo Y35

The Snapdragon 680 chipset runs the show here, paired with 8GB of RAM and a generous 256GB of storage that you can stretch further with a microSD card up to 1TB. It's not a gaming flagship, but for daily apps, calls, and multitasking, the Adreno 610 GPU and 8GB extended RAM keep things ticking along. The 6.58-inch FHD+ LCD panel runs at 90Hz, which makes scrolling and swiping feel noticeably smoother than a standard 60Hz screen at this price point.

On the front, there's a 16MP selfie camera with HDR support, useful for video calls and casual selfies. Security comes via a side-mounted fingerprint scanner plus face unlock, and you get dual nano SIMs alongside a dedicated microSD slot, so you're not forced to sacrifice a SIM slot for extra storage. There's no NFC here, so contactless payment via the phone itself isn't an option.

vivo Y35 price in Malaysia starts from RM1099. It ships in Agate Black and Dawn Gold, running Funtouch OS 12 on top of Android.
