The design is roughly unchanged, but what's inside is different. The handset still goes with the same 5.2 inch HD IPS screen w/ 2.5D curved glass, 16 GB of expandable storage, and 5 MP front camera w/ screen flash.

However, it is uncharacteristic that Vivo opted for the lower powered Snapdragon 425 chipset instead of using the high-performing Snapdragon 430 budget SoC found with the older Y55.

Fortunately, the rest of the specs were upgrades! The handset now has a bigger 3 GB of RAM and 13 MP AF main camera. This phone also highlights an Android 6.0 Marshmallow OS w/ FunTouch OS 3.0 that has a split screen mode for multitasking!
