vivo Y77t arrives with Dimensity 7020 and 256 GB base storage

The vivo Y77t was launched today in China, and the company has already listed the device for sale. It comes with Dimensity 7020 chipset, a 50 MP main camera and a big battery, and if those specs look familiar, this is because this is exactly the same device as the vivo Y78 with only one difference – the base storage is 256 GB.

The screen of the Y77t is a 6.64” LCD with Full HD+ resolution and up to 120 Hz refresh rate. There is a punch hole in the center for the 8 MP camera, while the dual shooters on the back are 50 MP main + 2 MP. The battery is 5,000 mAh with 44W fast charging.

We are struggling to understand why vivo would launch the same phone twice under two different names on the same market; even the promo pages are identical. However, the vivo Y77t is listed as cheaper than the vivo Y78, probably as a marketing trick to make people buy the Y77t that is made to appear cheaper, especially when compared to the Y78+.

The vivo Y77t is available in Phoenix Gold, Black, and Jade Green colors with two price tags – CNY 1,399 ($190/€175) for the 8/256 GB version and CNY 1,599 ($220/€200) for the 12/256 GB. For comparison, the Y78 price is CNY300 ($40) higher, so if you are a fan of this device and want to import it from China on your own, we’d suggest going for the Y77t.
