There's a clear silicon case, a 40-watt charging brick, a USB Type C cable, a pair of earphones, SIM ejector, and some paperworks.

Design Impressions

The vivo Y76 5G rocks the quintessential vivo design - slim body, wider frame, curved backing, and well put together built. The back panel is such a treat for matte lovers; and our Cosmic Aurora variant rejects fingerprints effortlessly. The camera module is very imposing with a subtle vivo branding on the lower section.

Handling the unit is easier due to the curved edges; furthermore, buttons and ports are on their proper places. The power button which doubles as the fingerprint sensor is accessible on the right side, alongside the volume rocker. These buttons are very clickable; we did not had any issues using these buttons.

You can access the SIM tray on the top. It's a hybrid tray wherein you'll have options to use two SIM cards or a combination of one SIM card and a microSD card. There's a USB-C port at the bottom together with the speaker grilles, microphone, and 3.5-mm audio jack.

Overall appeal of the phone is quite impressive. Though the backing and the railings are plastic, it does not cloud the fact that this is a good-looking phone.

Display Impressions

The vivo Y76 5G frames a 6.58-inch IPS LCD with 1080 x 2408p resolution. The company has left some niceties in the cutting room like the high refresh rate or even the AMOLED display technology; but the screen is still capable in its own right. Screen bezels are acceptable. I'm quite surprised with the choice of waterdrop notch, though a hole punch display would be neat.

Overall, the display is still vibrant with good details and color saturation. Viewing angles are very welcoming too.

Specs and Performance

The vivo Y76 5G is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 700 5G gaming processor, coupled with 8GB of RAM. This allows the device to deliver solid performance in terms of day to day tasks - gaming, shooting videos, taking photos, and more. It's also a great companion in multimedia consumption due to its great-sounding speakers.

This smartphone is also one of the firsts to boot with FunTouch OS 12. It also comes with a decent 128GB memory for your multimedia files. In the camera department, you'll be delighted with the 50MP primary sensor. On top of that, two 2MP sensors are part of the module for depth and macro. Flipping the phone, there's a 16MP front camera for social media selfies.

The Wrap

The vivo Y76 5G shapes up to be a very promising smartphone both for content creators and mobile gaming enthusiasts. It is powered by the very capable Dimensity 700 SoC which offers 5G connectivity and 50MP camera support. This combination is something to be lauded about. 

Its Php 16,999 asking price is very practical given the fact that it's a very capable mid-ranger with a chic design. We can't wait to spend more time with this smartphone. Stay tuned for our review!
