Vivo Y30G Review The Best Mobile Phone

Display

The Vivo Y30G features a massive 6.51-inch FullView display with a resolution of 720×1600 pixels. The phone is virtually similar to the Vivo Y83 smartphone that comes with a screen size of 6.26-inch. The resolution is slightly lower but considering the company’s track record, this is a good thing. The display of Vivo Y30G is vibrant and offers punchy colour saturation. However, the quality of the display is just average. The colours are slightly muted and the brightness level is mediocre. The aspect ratio is also slightly different from that of the Vivo Y83 that has an aspect ratio of 19:9. The viewing angles are also not impressive. Also, there’s a notch on the top right corner of the display. The notch is way wider and does not offer an easy way to hide it when needed.
