Cameras
This new Vivo handset has a dual rear camera setup with a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. For selfies and video chatting, there is an 8-megapixel front camera with an f/2.0 aperture.
Battery and Connectivity
Vivo has fitted a 5000mAh battery that supports 18W dual engine fast charging. The company claims it can deliver up to 25.83 hours of 4G VoLTE talk time on a single charge. For connectivity, the phone offers 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS/A-GPS, USB Type-C and a 3.5mm audio jack. Sensors include an accelerometer, ambient light sensor, magnetometer and proximity sensor, along with a side-mounted fingerprint sensor on the edge.

How It Differs From the Original Vivo Y31s
The Vivo Y31s Standard Edition is described as a slightly altered variant of the original Vivo Y31s rather than an entirely new model. The headline change is the chipset: this edition runs the octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 700, and it ships with an HD+ display. Where the earlier Vivo Y31s lineup offered both a 4GB RAM and a 6GB RAM option, the Standard Edition is confirmed with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of inbuilt storage. The colour choices also stay fresh, with Lake Light Blue, Titanium Gray and White on offer in China.
Is the Vivo Y31s Standard Edition Worth It?
At 1,699 Chinese Yuan (about 19,100 rupees), the Vivo Y31s Standard Edition sits right alongside the existing 6GB Vivo Y31s, which launched at 1,698 Chinese yuan (around Rs 19,200). For that price, buyers get 5G connectivity through the Dimensity 700, a large 6.51-inch HD+ screen, a generous 5000mAh battery with 18W dual engine fast charging and a practical dual rear camera. The side-mounted fingerprint sensor, USB Type-C port and retained 3.5mm audio jack round out a well-equipped budget package. The main caveat is availability, since there is no information about a launch outside China at this time, so shoppers will need to weigh this China-only release carefully. For buyers in that market, though, the spec sheet is competitive for the segment.
