Two-minute review
Whether you choose the bold Emerald Black finish or the more ethereal Moon White the style of Y30 certainly makes a statement.
Set against the metallic-look plastic frame it certainly looks, and feels, like a quality product. Unfortunately, that's where its distinctive features start and end.
Under the skin, the hardware specifications for the African consumer something more substantial than cool bodywork to drag their attention away from the models of the tried and tested phone brands at this same price point. phone read like a blueprint for a generic R5,000 phone.
From the 6.4 inch screen to the middling Mediatek processor and the stock standard 4GB of RAM there is almost nothing to distinguish this phone from its many competitors at this same price point.
Even Vivo's FunOS skin is unremarkable, adding very little to the basic Android experience.
Its triple rear camera setup is equally plain, turning in bland but acceptable photos most of the time.
The Y30 does nothing to enhance the reputation of the Vivo brand which is still trying to break into the crowded South African market. Vivo will have to offer the South
African consumers something more substantial than cool bodywork to drag their attention away from the models of the tried and tested phone brands at this same price point.
