Just when you thought it couldn’t get better, vivo adds another exciting smartphone to its Y-series—the Y28. This powerhouse boasts an ultra-slim body paired with a massive 6000mAh battery, setting a new standard for style and performance. With the Y28, vivo proves once again why the Y series is “Y so Cool.” To top it off, the Y28 comes with 3-months accidental protection, giving you peace of mind as you enjoy your new smartphone.
Sleek Design Meets Unmatched Battery Life
The vivo Y28 is sleek with its ultra-slim 7.99mm body[1], housing a 6000mAh battery[2] while weighing just 199 grams. It’s the biggest battery you will find in this price range, ensuring you stay powered up throughout the day without compromising on design.
The Y28 features a striking Metallic High-Gloss Frame and a slim curved body that exudes a premium look and feel. The rear camera module’s dynamic design is enhanced by Dynamic Light, syncing with your music, notifications, and photo countdowns.
Choose Your Style
Available in two trendy and unique colors, the Y28 is as stylish as it is functional. The Gleaming Orange edition is inspired by the first light of dawn, featuring Flowing Glitter Particle technology that creates a mesmerising shimmer. The Agate Green edition, inspired by agate stones, uses Glitter AG Technique for a delicate sparkle that’s resistant to dirt, wear, and fingerprints.
“vivo’s smartphone range has consistently evolved to meet the demands of our discerning users,” said Tony Shi, General Manager at vivo South Africa. “With the Y28, we’re offering a beautifully crafted smartphone that not only looks good but delivers an exceptional user experience.”
Performance That Keeps Up with Your Life
The 6000mAh battery is built to last, with a 4-Year Battery Health guarantee[3] that ensures it retains at least 80% of its capacity after 1600 charge cycles – double the industry standard. And with 44W FlashCharge[4], quick top-ups are effortless, so you can get back to what matters most in no time.
The Y28 is equipped with up to 16GB of RAM[5] and 256GB of storage, offering smooth performance and plenty of space for all your apps, photos, and more.
