Vivo Y50m 5G

The Vivo Y50m 5G has a standard, non-folding form factor measuring 167.3 mm tall, 77 mm wide, and 8.2 mm thick, with a total volume of 105.63 cm³ and a weight of 204 g. It carries an IP64 rating, meaning the device is protected against dust ingress and resistant to water splashes, though it does not feature a rugged build.

The Vivo Y50m 5G features a 6.74″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1600 px and a pixel density of 260 ppi. It supports a 90Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion, though it does not include an Always-On Display, branded damage-resistant glass, or support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision. There is no secondary screen on this device.

The Vivo Y50m 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, a 6nm octa-core SoC with two performance cores clocked at 2.4GHz and six efficiency cores at 2GHz, using big.LITTLE architecture with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing for workload distribution across all 8 threads. It is paired with 12GB of DDR4 RAM running at 2133MHz with a maximum memory bandwidth of 17.07 GB/s, alongside 256GB of internal storage. Graphics are handled by the integrated Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU at 950MHz, which supports DirectX 12, while the chip also includes integrated LTE and is fully 64-bit capable. Cache memory consists of 512KB L1, 1MB L2, and 2MB L3. In Geekbench 6 benchmarks, the device scores 782 in single-core and 2012 in multi-core testing.

The Vivo Y50m 5G has a single-lens 13MP rear camera with an f/2.2 aperture and a CMOS sensor, offering phase-detection autofocus for photos along with touch autofocus, continuous autofocus during video, and manual controls for focus, exposure, ISO, and white balance. It records video at 1080p and 30fps and supports slow-motion recording, burst mode, HDR, and in-camera panoramas, though there is no optical zoom, no optical image stabilization, no BSI sensor, and no RAW shooting capability. The rear flash consists of a single LED unit without dual-tone or RGB configuration, and HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording is not supported. On the front, a 5MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture handles selfies — it is a single-lens setup with no flash, no under-display placement, and standard camera features consistent with the rear unit.

The Vivo Y50m 5G runs Android 15 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, among them clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access management, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not available. The OS supports dynamic and manual theme customization, dark mode, extra dim mode, customizable notifications, notification permissions, a media picker, widgets, split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, sharing intents, and the ability to select text from images. Productivity-oriented features include on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, app offloading, multi-user support, a child lock, battery health check, phone tracking, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. Direct OS updates from the vendor are not provided, and the device does not support Quick Start, Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, or PC mode.

The Vivo Y50m 5G houses a 6000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery with a built-in level indicator, and ships with a charger included in the box. It supports 44W fast charging, which helps offset charging time despite the large capacity. Wireless charging and reverse wireless charging are not available on this device.

The Vivo Y50m 5G includes a 3.5mm headphone jack for wired audio and a built-in radio, though it lacks stereo speakers, outputting sound through a single speaker instead. For wireless audio, the device supports both aptX and aptX HD, enabling higher-quality Bluetooth audio transmission, while aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, and LDAC are not supported.

The Vivo Y50m 5G supports 5G connectivity and accommodates two SIM cards, with a maximum download speed of 3300 Mbits/s. Wi-Fi coverage spans Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), while Bluetooth 5.4 and NFC round out the wireless options. The device connects via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0 and includes an external memory slot for storage expansion. For navigation, it features GPS with Galileo support alongside a compass and accelerometer, though there is no gyroscope, barometer, or motion tracking. Security is handled by a fingerprint scanner, while an infrared sensor adds remote control functionality; 3D facial recognition, an iris scanner, and a stylus are not included. Satellite SOS, crash detection, DLNA certification, ANT+, a heart rate monitor, HDMI output, and a built-in projector are all absent from this device.

The Vivo Y50m 5G includes a video light for illumination during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor e-paper technology.
