Snapdragon 695 5G handles the everyday load here, paired with 8GB RAM and a generous 256GB of storage that leaves plenty of room for apps and photos, even without a microSD slot. The 6.78-inch AMOLED screen runs at 120Hz and hits 1300 nits peak brightness, which makes it usable outdoors and smooth for scrolling or gaming at a casual level.
On the back, a 64MP main camera with OIS and PDAF leads a triple-camera setup, joined by 2MP macro and depth sensors that mostly add flexibility rather than raw quality. The 16MP front camera covers selfies and video calls. A 5000mAh battery with 44W wired charging means you're not tethered to a wall outlet all day, and it should comfortably last through heavy use.
vivo Y78 5G price in Malaysia starts from RM829. It comes in Dreamy Gold and Flare Black, with IP54 splash resistance and NFC included, both useful extras at this price point.
