Vivo Y27: A 44 W fast-charging budget phone with a tidy design.
SpecEagle Editorial·Jul 2023·$170·Score 52/100
Y27 lifts itself above the entry crowd with a sharp FHD+ panel and genuinely quick 44 W charging — two things rivals at the price usually skip. The Helio G85 and single speaker keep it grounded. For a tidy, fast-charging cheap phone it is a sensible pick.
