With a price tag of R3,499, the Vivo Y19s is a budget-friendly entry-level phone that is sure to catch your eye, especially in the midst of recovering from the January blues.
This year has seen a flurry of smartphone launches, from Samsung’s S25 series to Honor’s X9c and Huawei’s Nova 13 series. However, the Vivo Y19s stands out as an affordable option in the midst of midrange offerings.
Following closely on the heels of the Vivo 200x Pro, the Y19s boasts a slim and lightweight design, measuring just 8.1mm thick and weighing 198g. Its ergonomic build makes it easy to slip into your pocket.

Featuring a 6.68-inch Dotch Display with a 90 Hz refresh rate, the Vivo Y19s may not be the best choice for intense gaming, but its sleek design and vibrant display make it a great option for everyday use.

Available in Pearl Silver and Diamond Black, the Vivo Y19s offers an upgraded 5,150 mAh Battery for long-lasting power. This, coupled with the 50MP main camera and versatile portrait and night modes, ensures that users can stay connected and capture memories throughout the day.
Competing with the likes of Xiaomi Redmi 14C, Samsung Galaxy A06, Honor X6b, and Oppo A38, the Vivo Y19s holds its own with its affordable price point and decent specs. While a full review will determine the quality of its photos, the Y19s is a promising option for those on a budget.
