Vivo has added another affordable option to its Y-series lineup with the introduction of the Y18e in the Indian market.
While light on premium features, the newly launched Y18e packs some decent specs for its expected budget price point.

For the Indian market, Vivo is releasing the Y18e in a single 4GB+64GB configuration, though pricing and availability details have not been announced yet.
The Y18e sports a 6.56-inch LCD display with an HD+ resolution of 1612 x 720 pixels.
It offers a 90Hz refresh rate and 528 nits of peak brightness.
On the camera front, you get a 13MP primary camera accompanied by a 0.08MP depth sensor.
A 5MP selfie shooter is embedded in a waterdrop notch.
Under the hood, the Vivo Y18e packs the Mediatek Helio G85 chipset paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB of eMMC 5.1 storage.
It runs Android 14-based Funtouch OS out of the box.
Other key specs of the Vivo Y18e include:
While not a performance powerhouse, the Y18e seems geared to provide a decent all-around experience for budget users.
Its large battery, water resistance, loud speakers and 90Hz display could make it an enticing pick in the entry-level segment once pricing is revealed.
Look for the Vivo Y18e to hit stores across India in the coming weeks as the latest affordable addition to Vivo’s Y smartphone series.
