This chipset was introduced in early January and is the first Snapdragon 4 series to have an integrated 5G modem. This chipset is made for budget-friendly or entry-level cellphones, thus extending the scope of 5G support at lower end.

Apart from the new chipset, Launching Gizmochina, the specifications of this phone are identical to other Vivo phones in its segment. This device comes in a single storage configuration, namely 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

Meanwhile, the back of the phone has a dual camera setup consisting of a 13MP main sensor, 2MP depth sensor and an LED flash. The back of the phone is not equipped with a fingerprint scanner because it is embedded and doubles as a power button.

Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, the phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 480 SoC paired with 6GB LDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage. Vivo Y31s runs the Android 11 operating system which is coated with the Funtouch OS 10.5 interface which will soon be upgraded to OriginOS.
