Vivo Y22: A side-fingerprint, big-battery budget Vivo.
SpecEagle Editorial·Sep 2022·$179·Score 48/100
Y22 did the entry-tier essentials with the splash resistance and side fingerprint that lifted it slightly above the floor. The Helio G85, HD+ panel and slow charging were exactly the price. As a tidy first phone for emerging markets it served.
