Vivo Y19e: Should You Buy It?
At Rs 7,999, the Vivo Y19e competes directly with the Poco C75 5G. In comparison, the Poco C75 5G offers a 120Hz display, a better chipset, faster storage, 5G support, and a glass back panel. Vivo Y19e has a limited set of advantages over Poco’s devices, which includes a bigger battery and a better IP rating. Overall, we feel the Poco device is a better offering at this price due to the device being more future proof with 5G support.
