Before you buy: Tips on getting your perfect smartphone

Manila, Philippines, January 20, 2022- In today’s world, smartphones are now more than just tools for communication–it’s an all around device used for everything from education, work, gaming, and even to access essential services. This is why finding the perfect phone for you can be difficult, especially with the number of choices available in the market today.

So if you’re on the hunt for that perfect phone here are some tips to keep in mind:

Do your research

The first thing you need before going out in the wild and looking for that perfect phone is to research, research, and research. Make a list of what you need a phone for: is it primarily for work? For general usage? For gaming? Because with the number of phones available in the market today, many are made for specific purposes.

The vivo Y76 5G for example, was built for long gaming hours with its big battery and fast charging so if that’s what you’re going for, this is the phone to consider.

Look for the phone that works hard for you

A smartphone is an all-around gadget and while you may be buying it for a specific purpose, which calls for specific specifications, you’ll be using it for a lot of other things as well. A good phone is a phone that can handle all your needs without a hiccup.

If you need to run several applications at once or need extra memory to play your game seamlessly, getting a phone that has a large RAM should be a non-negotiable. This is where the vivo Y76 5G can be your perfect phone with its 8GB+4GB extended RAM, you can count on this phone to work as hard as you do.

Go for a phone that’s classic and timeless

A phone that looks sleek, stylish, and timeless is something that undoubtedly brings joy (in the words of Marie Kondo). The phone you get is something that will accompany you for several years and you should always be happy seeing it, using it, and holding it in your hands.

Coming in two amazing colors, Midnight Space and Cosmic Aurora, the vivo Y76 5G checks all those boxes together with its super slim design (it’s only 7.79mm thick!), it’s a phone that’s as stylish as you are.

Choose a brand that has world-class technology

Hundreds of phones are launched every season and it’s tough to sift through everything even if you do extensive research. A good tip is to stick to brands that have a proven track record of delivering great phones with great technology.

vivo, as one the leading smartphone brands globally, ensures that every phone they release is innovative and top of its class. The newest entrant to the highly popular Y-series, the Y76 5G is a phone that is not only packed with premium specs while having a mid-ranged pricing, it’s also a phone that can do more–gamers or even those who just like putting out TikToks and Reels are sure to enjoy the AI Editor and Dual View camera. The AI Editor automatically creates videos by stitching clips intuitively while the Dual View video allows users to both use the rear and front camera at the same time perfect for capturing those perfect gaming moments or reaction shots.

Hold out for that sweet deal

One of the biggest considerations when it comes to buying a new smartphone is the price. A smartphone is an investment and it should always be worth the money you put in.

So if you’re not needing that phone immediately and if you’re on a strict budget, it may be wiser to wait and hold out for a sale, a deal, or even pre-order perks to make sure that you get the best deals for the phone you have in mind. You can also look at getting a smartphone that has all the premium specs but without the premium pricing like the Y76 5G which feels and works premium but with a very competitive price at P16,999.

To see the Y76 5G in action and to see some of the best in the competitive gaming scene in the country, don’t miss the first leg of the vivo Battle of Legends: Mobile Legends Bang Bang Tournament where five teams go head-to-head for a spot to play against the country’s top eSports teams and vivo ambassadors: Nexplay Esports and ECHO Philippines.
