Vivo Y91C now only P5,999 ($117) in the Philippines

One of the most affordable smartphones on the market with a modern design just got cheaper.

(Update, September 2: There’s a new price drop! See Vivo Y91C price drops to P5,499 ($105) in PH.)

Vivo Philippines has announced a permanent price cut for the Vivo Y91C, dropping its suggested retail price to P5,999 (around $117) from P6,499 ($127). This puts it in the same space as other budget handsets like the Huawei Y5 2019, Honor 8S, and Realme C2, among others.

A gradient plastic back and a generous (for the price) 6.22-inch LCD screen give the Vivo Y91C its appealing looks to go with its octa-core internals. On top of that, the back of the phone has a 13-megapixel camera, while the front-facer is 5 megapixels.

The phone does not have a fingerprint sensor. As an alternative, there’s face unlock using the selfie camera in the waterdrop-style notch above the display.

Inside, the Vivo Y91C pairs an octa-core Helio P22 processor with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. The battery is rated at an impressive 4,030mAh, which should easily last two days with normal use. Finally, the phone runs Funtouch OS 8.5 on top of Android 8.1 Oreo.
