Impressions

Both the devices feature decent hardware. The smartphones have been well received both critically and commercially in the International market.

Vivo Y53 is an affordable device running Snapdragon 425. But you will get an outdated Android Marshmallow. Same goes for the hardware specs in Vivo Y69. Though Y69 seems to aim for selfie lovers with the 16MP front shooter. The complaint here is choosing MediaTek chipset instead of Snapdragon.

There should not be any place for complaints. Both devices stand out on their own. I would have loved something more to sweeten the deal. However, the performance is yet to be seen when it is launched in Nepal.
