Budget hardware defines this one. The Helio P22 chipset handles basic tasks fine but won't keep up with anything demanding, and you get a choice of 3GB or 4GB RAM paired with 32GB storage, expandable further via microSD if you run out of space. Android 8.1 with Funtouch 4 on top runs the show, which is dated even for 2019 standards.
The 6.22-inch IPS LCD display sits at 720 x 1520 resolution, so it's sharp enough for everyday use without pushing into full HD territory. Vivo Y81 price in Malaysia starts from RM359, putting it firmly in entry-level pricing.
Camera-wise, you're looking at a single 13MP rear shooter with PDAF and a 5MP front camera, both capped at 1080p video. The 3260 mAh battery isn't huge but matches the modest screen and chipset demands. Dual SIM support and a rear fingerprint sensor (on the 4GB variant only) round out the practical bits.
