belated. Vivo Y35m 5G and Vivo Y53t 5G – two more endless takes

Vivo, breathe out, it's not funny anymore.

Whether in the last days of 2022, or in the first days of the year 2023, smartphones appeared on sale in China
Vivo Y35m 5G and
Vivo Y53t 5G.The joke is that (according to the official specifications) they are the same. Quite the same. Frequencies, colors, dimensions, appearance, delivery set. The only thing is that the Y35m has an older version of 8 + 128 GB, while the Y53t does not. Everything.

OK. We are used to duplicates.After all, the Vivo Y35 5G announced in China in December is exactly the same, only the colors are different. Plus, there are a dozen more close smartphones with slightly different chargers and front cameras.

What is surprising is the difference in price. And fundamentally different. Why is that? I have no ideas. Maybe they messed up something...

Briefly about the characteristics. They are trivial.

MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, so we expect 300-350 thousand points in AnTuTu.

Memory. Its quantity is clear from the table.From 4 to 8 GB operational, 128 GB permanent. Support for memory cards is not mentioned, but all devices with similar characteristics have it. Leave a question mark.

Standard IPS screen. Diagonal 6.51″ (102 cm²), resolution 720×1600 (270 ppi). There is no increased refresh rate.

The battery is the most common - 5000 mAh. Slightly accelerated charging - 15 watts.

The set of cameras is the simplest. 5 MP front, 13+2 MP rear.

There is support for 5G networks, there is Type-C and dual-band Wi-Fi. The fingerprint scanner is located on the side. No NFC module and no support for our LTE bands.
