The vivo Y31d has quietly launched, offering a back-to-basics approach to smartphones. The unboxing reveals a full set of accessories, including a case, a 44W charger, and a USB-A to USB-C cable. Available in Glow White and Starlight Gray, the device has a reasonable size. Despite its dimensions, it packs a massive 7,200mAh power pack.

This new Android phone focuses on key features: great battery life, a reliable build, and an accessible price point. The Y31d includes an IP69+ rating, offering protection against splashes, rain, and even high-pressure water jets. Inside, a Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 SoC powers the device, paired with either 6GB or 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage.

The phone features a 720p LCD screen with a fast 120Hz refresh rate. The fingerprint scanner is side-mounted. Vivo aims this device at budget-conscious consumers who prioritize essential features. This approach contrasts with the trend of increasingly complex and feature-rich smartphones. The Y31d runs on Android 16-based OriginOS 6.
