Looking for a smartphone that suits you? Here’s your guide to the best vivo phones in Malaysia


July 12, 2023

It is a highly saturated smartphone market out there, and it’s no wonder we find ourselves lost in a sea of choices.

But, if there is a brand you should pay attention to through all the clutter, it has to be vivo.

From the budget-friendly Y series, the mid-range flyers V Series, right up to the flagship X Series, vivo caters to a wide spectrum of smartphone users – including yourselves!

So, if you are in the lookout for a smartphone, we recommend getting on board the vivo hypetrain.

vivo Y36 5G – Your incredibly stylish entry-level option

vivo Y36 5G: RM1,099

The vivo Y36 5G is vivo’s affordable option that doesn’t compromise on style and performance.

Splashed with a soothing Semporna Green, the eye-catching colour takes inspiration from the mesmerizing waters of (you guessed it) Semporna.

Despite being a wallet-friendly option, the Y36 is 5G ready so you will receive the best of 5G speeds when it eventually takes over.

You will have 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage to enjoy. For smoother and faster performance, there’s an option to pile on an additional 8GB of RAM via Extended RAM 3.0. Furthermore, you can count on all-day usage thanks to the long-lasting 5,000mAh battery and a 44W FlashCharge.

And, just like its picture perfect Semporna Green colourway, your pictures will also be perfect with a 50MP HD main camera, coupled with a variety of Portrait Light Effects for stunning portraiture.

vivo V Series – The portrait photography expert

V27 5G: RM1,799

vivo has knocked it out the park with the V series this year. Just look at the new Aura Light Portrait System and you shall understand why. The Aura Light is essentially your personal ring light which creates a soft studio-like glow to your photos.

You don’t have to rely on the harsh and unflattering camera flash any more. Instead, let the V27 5G be your solution to outstanding portraits.

The vivo V27 5G is the premium of the V series. Its cameras are backed with the highly regarded IMX766V sensor, which allows for minimal noise and clarity for Night Photography. The camera lineup consist of a 50MP OIS main camera, an 8MP wide-angle, and a 2MP macro lens. At the front in a punch-hole format is a 50MP AutoFocus selfie camera.

Oh, and one more thing, the V27 5G changes colour. Yes, you read that right. The Emerald Green of the V27 transforms into a darker hue when put under UV light (eg. when it’s under the sun). This is completely “extra”, we know. But if you’re talking about standing out and standing proud, then it doesn’t get better than a colour changing device.

Great looks, great photos, great price – what’s not to like about the vivo V27 5G?

vivo X Series – The best of pro photography and premium specs

X90 Pro: RM4,999 // X90: RM3,699

Pro-grade photos are as accessible as ever thanks to vivo’s 2023 X Series. Even more so after they brought legendary lens brand, ZEISS, into the picture.

vivo introduced the new X90 and X90 Pro flagships early this year, offering photography enthusiast an enticing option to look upon. The vivo and ZEISS collaboration meant that cameras on both devices received the famous ZEISS T* coating, which reduces intrusive stray light while enhancing clarity in photos.

For the first time ever in a vivo series, we saw the inclusion of a ZEISS 1-inch main camera on the X90 Pro’s main camera. A 1-inch sensor on a smartphone is impressive to say the least, as a bigger sensor is able to capture more light in dimly lit environments. As such, the X90 Pro is undeniably one of the best smartphones with Night Photography and Videography.

Additionally, the X90 Series has dual-chip integration, which combines the processing power of its proprietary V2 Chip and the Dimensity 9200 CPU to improve on several aspects, including image processing.

Beyond camera performance, these vivo flagships offer a host of top-end specs, including a 6.78″ AMOLED display, a large 12GB RAM, and speedy 120W charging.

vivo, a top contender in all segments

Whatever your budget is, vivo aims to provide you with only the best in its segment. With emphasis on design, performance, and photography, the vivo series must be considered when deciding on your next smartphone.

If you’ve already had your mind made up, here’s where you can purchase your desired vivo devices.
