Celebrating Christmas with vivo Y22s and its 50MP SuperNight camera

This is a sponsored post by vivo Philippines

The Filipino Christmas season

There’s no denying that Christmas in the Philippines is known to be a celebration that spans months across. As soon as September 1 hits, expect Christmas songs playing in malls and decors starting to creep up the streets and lamp posts. 

Shot with vivo Y22s

vivo recognizes this cheerful occasion and wants to step up your Christmas celebration by offering a device that can keep up with all your festivities through its #MaxOutTheNight campaign.

Headlining this is the vivo Y22s which can easily capture special moments in different lighting conditions with its 50MP SuperNight camera, store them without worries in its 128GB internal storage (expandable to 1TB), call loved ones, play mobile games with family members, and last the entire Noche Buena without running out of juice!

Here are some reasons why the vivo Y22s could be the perfect gift for you or your loved ones this season.

vivo Y22s for your Noche Buena

50MP SuperNight camera 

Preserving memories when everyone is home is, of course, one of the things you’d want to do during your celebration, and this phone is equipped with exactly what you need. 

The 50-megapixel SuperNight camera of vivo Y22s can capture clear photos even at night – from the feast of food to your aunt/uncles laughing and having a great time – you get detailed photos that will capture the moments you’d want to look back on. 

90Hz refresh rate

During those downtimes or while waiting for everyone to arrive, you can use the Y22s to play a few games and be immersed in the process with its 90Hz refresh rate. 

This ensures that you get smoother movements to enjoy gaming overall. The fast refresh rate is even noticeable when you’re simply browsing on your phone and it just elevates the user experience. Truly, it’s sometimes the subtle things that make things more enjoyable.

Multi Turbo 5.5

To further bring an immersive performance while using the phone, the Y22s comes with Multi Turbo 5.5. This feature from vivo optimizes not just CPU usage but even network congestion so you get an uninterrupted game time. 

Lags are kept to a minimum and connectivity should be stable and fast for those competitive online matches.

Up to 16GB Dynamic RAM

In terms of the components under the hood, the phone comes with up to 16GB Dynamic RAM which means it allocates virtual memory from storage to help the device handle more demanding processes. 

The use of additional RAM ensures faster performance even with simultaneous apps open so whether you’re showing your most recent travel photos to people around or uploading shots of food on the table, you can switch from one app to another without hiccups. 

Snapdragon 680 CPU

This capable chipset ensures that it can handle tasks you throw at it as it can run most of today’s games flawlessly. Running out of juice won’t have to be always on your mind as the processor is also more power efficient compared to its predecessor. 

It’s a powerful processor that enables users to freely run apps they need to run and do what they need to do.

5000mAh battery + 18W FastCharge

Speaking of running out of juice, it’s got ample capacity at 5000mAh and once you drain it out, its 18W FastCharge technology kicks in to be able to top up the phone in a matter of minutes to be able to use it again. 

This tandem alone will keep your phone powered throughout the entire celebration!

128GB internal storage

One thing that users are always concerned about especially during the holidays is that their phone storage easily gets full. This should not be a problem for the Y22s with its 128GB internal storage. 

If, by any chance, you think you’ll be able to max that out with all the media files and apps you have, the phone’s storage can be expandable up to 1TB via a microSD slot. That should at least be able to last you until the next Christmas season, right?

Ultra Game Mode

And to keep the fun nonstop, the phone is also armed with Ultra Game Mode that lets you focus on your match while gaming. It keeps incoming notifications in the background like calls and messages to keep distractions on the down low. 

The vivo Y22s even comes with Ear Customized Audio Effect that offers presets for users’ different hearing capabilities. This way, you get sound delivery while playing music or watching videos that’s designed for your listening profile. 

Design

Of course, we didn’t forget about its design. The Y22s has that premium touch thanks to its minimal approach and 2.5D curved screen. Colors available are Summer Cyan, which we have with us, and Starlit Blue. 

I personally like Summer Cyan since it comes with this warm tones that turns cooler depending on how light hits it. The phone also features this textured finish that just adds flair to the body of the phone. 

It’s definitely a phone that can turn heads.

Personal feature picks

As we’ve spent time with the device even with Noche Buena still to come, we could already say that its 50-megapixel shooter will fair well for the upcoming celebration. Colors are vibrant but not overdone, and details are intact even when lighting conditions are not ideal. 

Its nighttime capabilities are also up to par with more expensive phones in the market today and can definitely keep up with all the activities you might have for the night. 

This camera system is perfectly complemented by its 128GB internal storage to store all your media in. Whether it’s photos, videos or games, you wouldn’t have to right away worry about running out of space.

Plus, to keep the device powered, its 5000mAh battery capacity is enough to last you a whole day of usage and charging is quick thanks to its 18W FastCharge technology. With this phone, you wouldn’t have to always keep a powerbank close by just to ensure your smartphone is juiced up. 

With these features working hand-in-hand, you’re able to achieve not just better photos for everyday use but also capable components that bring an efficient and smooth user experience.

Price and availability

The vivo Y22s could be yours for as low as PhP 10,999 for the 4GB/128GB variant while an 8GB/128GB option is also available for PhP 12,999. The phone is also available via installment plans at Home Credit or thru major credit cards.
