Vivo Y31 review: A 48 MP, 18 W charging budget Vivo with a tidy design.
Y20s with FHD+ and a bit more RAM.
Y31 was the Y-series' modest upgrade — same Snapdragon 662 and 5,000 mAh battery, with FHD+ resolution and up to 8 GB RAM. The 60 Hz LCD and filler lenses kept it firmly budget; for buyers who wanted Vivo's industrial design for less, it served.
