Vivo Y28 5G vs Lava Storm 5G
The Vivo Y28 5G’s main competitor is the Lava Storm 5G. The Storm 5G comes at a price of Rs 13,499 for the 8GB + 128GB model which alone gives you more RAM than the base model of Y28 5G, that too for Rs 500 less. Next, the Storm 5G also gets you a better chipset along with a better display which has both higher resolution and a smoother 120hz refresh rate.
Aside from this, it also gets faster 33W fast charging. As for optics, the Lava handset has a 50MP main sensor plus 8MP ultra-wide dual rear camera setup along with a 16MP front camera. Once again, the secondary 8MP ultra-wide angle is far more useful and practical than the 2MP auxiliary sensor on the Vivo handset. By all means, we feel the Lava Storm 5G is a better value offering over the Vivo Y28 5G.
