Vivo expanded its Y18 series with a new model and introduced the Y18t model in the Indian market. Vivo Y18t, which is in the same series as the company’s Y18, Y18i and Y18e models, is added as a strong option to its segment with its advanced camera resolution and screen features. The new model aims to stand out especially with its photo shooting features, screen refresh rate and expandable storage capacity. The device, which is offered for sale in the Indian market, is seen as a step towards increasing competition among affordable models.
Vivo Y18t is equipped with the Unisoc T612 processor and runs on the Android 14-based Funtouch OS 14 operating system. The device offers users 4 GB RAM and 128 GB internal storage. The fact that the storage space is expandable with microSD card support up to 1 TB is advantageous for those who want to store a large number of applications and media files. This feature is considered an attractive option, especially to meet the increasing data need and increase the user experience.
Vivo Y18t’s 6.56-inch HD + LCD screen aims to provide a smoother viewing experience with a 90 Hz refresh rate. The screen, which has a pixel density of 269 ppi, provides a clear image in various light conditions with a brightness level of 840 nits. While there is an 8 MP resolution selfie camera on the front, this camera is located in the notch area above the screen. The fingerprint reader on the device is not located under the screen, but is integrated into the power button. This design is preferred to use screen space more efficiently and optimize costs.
There are two cameras on the back of the device. While the main camera with 50 MP resolution offers the opportunity to take high-resolution photos, the 0.08 MP auxiliary sensor offers supporting features such as depth detection. With this camera system, Y18t aims to offer a good photography experience, especially in the middle segment.
The 5000 mAh battery of the device provides a long battery life for daily use and offers 15W fast charging support via USB-C. According to the company’s statement, this battery can reach full charge in approximately 145 minutes. The high capacity of the battery stands out as an important feature, especially for users who need continuous use throughout the day.
When the hardware features of the Vivo Y18t are examined, it appears that this model is a variation of the Vivo Y18i and Y03t models with some improved features. Compared to the Y18i model, the Y18t makes a difference with details such as a higher resolution main camera, increased brightness, Bluetooth 5.2 support and a fingerprint reader positioned on the side. Additionally, the device has an IP54 certificate that provides resistance to water and dust. This feature increases the durability of the device, especially for users who want to use the phone outdoors and in challenging environmental conditions.

Vivo Y18t, which is offered for sale in India at a price of 9499 rupees (3870 TL), is offered to users in two color options: Space Black and Stone Green. This price level is considered a competitive option when compared to other models offered by Vivo in India, especially considering the large storage space and powerful camera features.
