Besides, you can also opt for the Mystic Purple version that transmutes from glossy purple at the bottom to a darker shade of the same on the top. Note that the back panel is made out of polycarbonate and attracts a lot of fingerprints and smudges. Hence, we would recommend slapping on the case bundled in the box. However, the phone does have significant bezels running all around the corner, accompanied by a broad bottom chin. As for the buttons and placements, both the power button and volume rockers are given to the right and are within the comfortable reach of fingers.
The sim tray is located on the left with slots for two nano-sim cards and a microSD card. Coming to the bottom, you get to see the speaker grille, microphone and a micro-USB port for charging, which is a disappointment to have as many cheaper phones have started adopting the USB Type-C. The Vivo Y17 comes with a 6. Nonetheless, the screen has good viewing angles, decent colour reproduction and good enough sunlight legibility. However, the lack of pixels will definitely be a dealbreaker, especially to a pixel peeper like me. Anyways, in day to day experience, the Vivo Y17 runs quite smooth, be it tasks like calling, texting, surfing the web, using social media or even clicking pictures and playing casual games.
Talking about the software, Vivo is using its own custom FunTouch OS 9, based on Android 9 Pie with this phone which might be a decisive factor for many. Note that the quick setting toggles need to be pulled upwards from the bottom of the screen, and are not given in the notification panel.
And the notification panel itself is quite messed up.
Furthermore, Vivo is using an ancient style of Android navigation buttons, which you can get rid of by using full-screen gestures. Having said that, there are some useful customisation features including a built-in theming engine, screen recorder, system-wide dark mode, and a feature-rich Jovi assistant.
Therefore, make sure to check out the FunTouch OS at least for once in-person if software experience is one of the priorities for you. For photography, the Vivo Y17 adopts a triple camera module at the back. Notably, the camera captures pretty good pictures in broad daylight. The photos have plenty of detail, are vibrant and have punchy colours. However, it does struggle a bit while locking focus, especially in low-light.
The wide-angle camera, as expected, yields adequate results but grapples with over-processing and lens distortion. The low-light camera performance of Y17 is pretty weak, which is quite understandable for a mid-range phone. Photos usually turn out soft, lack detail and exhibit a lot of noise.
Coming to the selfies, the photos captured in daylight are rather amazing and ready to post on social media. Xbox Accessories. Sensor Lights. Smart Trackers.
