Welcome and follow me is a Vivo Y17 and today I will go over unboxing along with a quick look at the device and
0:08
just my look at it from a perspective of it being released couple years back now
0:19
So anyway let's just get straight into it. Like I mentioned this device was released a couple years back
0:24
and that would be basically April of 2019 so a bit it's a bit dated by now but in any case let's see what we get now originally
0:37
this device costed about what is it about 230 euros about so let's see how
0:45
that price held up the current time in terms of paperwork we basically have
0:52
absolutely squat and get the phone itself surprisingly the battery still holds and under here we get a case looking
1:11
absolutely cheap and the thinness mold you could probably have like this is just
1:17
paper thin and below that we have a charger that is a type a to
1:30
USB. Oh boy, that hurts. Like I said, this device was released a couple years back
1:36
And we also have headphones that look like absolute dirt cheap headphones
1:42
Now, that being said, logically thinking for the device that was released
1:46
even at 2019, they should have dropped the absolute dog shit earbuds and give you a Type C charging port on the device But instead they give you an absolute important charging port and they also give you like a what 10 watt charger
2:00
indeed it is a 10 watt charger so yeah you're not going to be getting much out of
2:05
charging speed right here nor will you be enjoying the versatility of a USB type C
2:11
in any case you and other things that you won't be enjoying on this device is going to be newer
2:16
versions of Android like the Android 14 that is now coming out to most devices because this device is running Android 9
2:25
Like I said, it was released a couple years back. It's also running a Fontouch 9
2:32
And in terms of the display right here, it is an LCD IPS display with a resolution of 720 by 1544 pixels
2:43
putting it at about 260 pixels per inch. So not too good
2:48
It is a 6.3 inch display. No high refresh rate, nothing like that
2:55
So, yeah, it's pretty dated. So let's be honest, display right here is not going to be its strong suit
3:03
So let's see the internals. We have a 5,000-million-power battery in here
3:07
which... I'm not sure if it's not bulging up by any chance already
3:18
Kind of... feels like it has a little bit of a curvature right here. But in any case, hopefully, that is just my imagination
3:27
So, 5,000 million power battery, we have 64 gigabytes of built-in storage with 4 gigabytes of RAM
3:33
or 128 gigabytes of built-in storage, also 4 gigs of RAM. So, not the greatest
3:41
We have expendable storage using a micro card so that pretty good And then in terms of cameras we have a 13 megapixel main shooter then we got an 8 megapixel ultra and then we also have a trash camera
3:56
called 2-mapsal depth sensor, which is absolutely redundant and useless. And then on the front
4:04
on the global version, we have a 20-mapsule wide sensor, and if you bought this phone in China
4:11
you would get a 16-m-magixel cell. coffee cam. Okay. Now moving on into the features, we do have, like I mentioned, a micro USB
4:22
charging port. I want to stress that because it is so outdated by now that I just, I don't see a reason
4:28
to buy a phone like that with this charging port. Even Apple, I is using Type C now. We have a
4:34
headphone jack, microphone speakers. Then on the side, volume rockers, along with a power button
4:39
At the top, we got absolutely nothing. And then on the left side, at the top we have our SIM
4:43
slash sd tray. And we also have a fingerprint sensor that is mounted on the back. Yes, that's how all this
4:49
device is. It still has a back mounted fingerprint sensor. Nowadays, you have either under the
4:54
display or, if not under the display, you have it on the power button. So, next thing to talk about
5:03
is the processor in here, and we are looking at a Heliop 35 processor. So, yeah, this device won't be
5:12
fast at all and at the release date it cost it about 200 euros give or take nowadays let me
5:22
quickly check how much this device would cost if you wanted to pick it up now which I
5:26
wouldn't recommend picking it picking it up now because it is a fairly dated device
5:32
so with Black Friday basically being like tomorrow this device costs a little bit over in Poland on basically the equivalent side of Amazon which is the Allegro And to be more precise it costs about like something along those lines
5:54
So even for this price, I think it's severely overpriced at current time because, like I said, it is an auto device
6:01
There is things that you will be lacking on this phone that you would have on other ones
6:05
and most importantly the thing that we will be lacking is newer versions of Android
6:10
and the thing that also comes with newer devices, which is security patches
6:14
So if you really care about your bank accounts being protected, yet this device won't be really doing that
6:20
because I'm pretty sure it security patches have ended not long ago
6:25
So you won't be getting any new ones. Therefore, if there is some kind of vulnerability in the system
6:31
someone can exploit it and just hack your device. not a very good thing to have in your device
6:39
So, alternatively, what I could recommend is one of the devices that I little just unpacked
6:44
and it's about the same price, but it was actually released recently
6:50
And that would be the Poco M4. It's also a basically low-ended device
6:54
That comes at about 130 euros, but because it was released recently
6:59
it will have better specifications because cheap ones get good over time
7:04
so that one falls under that category and additionally you will also
7:08
have the security patches which this device will most certainly not have any more
7:12
so I highly recommend looking at the M4 instead which like I said will be a better
7:18
money kind of spent so anyway with that being said hopefully you found this very helpful and if you did
