Introducing the vivo Y31d, a smartphone that emphasizes essential features such as excellent battery life, a sturdy build, and an affordable price point. Its name reflects a simpler, more classic approach amidst contemporary trends.
The Y31d was discreetly launched this week, just in time for our unboxing. The phone comes equipped with a comprehensive accessory package, including a case, a 44W charger, and a USB-A to USB-C cable.
Unboxing the vivo Y31d
This model is available in two colors: Glow White and a subtle Starlight Gray. The phone measures 166.6 x 78.4 x 8.39mm and weighs only 219g, which is impressive considering the robust 7,200mAh battery packed inside. Users can rely on the Y31d for a full two days of power without concern.
Handling the Phone
The device boasts IP69+ protection, ensuring resilience against splashes, rain, submersion up to 1.5 meters, and exposure to high-pressure water jets—though the latter may not be a common concern.
With substantial build quality and remarkable battery longevity, the vivo Y31d also delivers on performance. It features a Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 SoC, offering options of 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and either 128GB or 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. While the chipset indicates its 4G-only capability, many potential users are likely to find this adequate for their needs.
The display is a 720p LCD that provides decent brightness and refreshes quickly at 120Hz. The fingerprint scanner is conveniently located on the side frame and operates effectively.
Vivo's Y31d is a straightforward smartphone ideal for budget-conscious individuals. It combines solid performance, long-lasting battery life, and runs on vivo's Android 16-based OriginOS 6. For basic smartphone needs, it presents an excellent value.
