Vivo is gearing up to introduce a new Y-series smartphone with competitive specifications, the Vivo Y38 5G. The new smartphone has been spotted on the Bluetooth SIG certification and also acquired the CQC certification in China. The device is likely a new mid-range offering and its appearance in Geekbench confirms some key details.
Vivo Y38 5G Spotted with 44W Fast-Charging and Snapdragon 4 Gen 2
The Vivo Y38 5G appeared on the Bluetooth SIG certification with the V2343 model number. The listing suggests the smartphone will feature support for Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity. Furthermore, the device will support 15W (5V/3A) charging, 18W (9V/2A) and 44W (11V/4A) fast-charging standards. In other words, the Vivo Y38 5G will come with 44W fast-charging support. Vivo will likely use the fastest for marketing purposes and hopefully, we will see a 44W charging adapter bundled with the smartphone. Not much else is revealed by Bluetooth SIG, but we have a Geekbench listing for further details about the phone’s performance.
Gizchina News of the week
The same Vivo V2343 appeared on the Geekbench 4 benchmark a few months ago. The handset scored 3,092 in the Single-Core score and 7,035 in the Multi-Core departments. It is revealed that the phone could have an octa-core processor with an Adreno 613 GPU. Judging by the details, this could be a Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 SoC. Vivo already revealed a plethora of smartphones with this chipset. For instance, we have the Vivo Y200e, Vivo Y100 5G, V30 Lite 5G, and Vivo V40 SE 5G. Therefore, this is a strong candidate for the Vivo Y38 5G.
Geekbench also confirms the Vivo Y38 5G will come with an 8 GB memory option and will ship with Android 14 straight out of the box. We expect the phone to run FuntouchOS 14 in global markets. However, the Chinese market will likely get the device running OriginOS 4.
We expect more details about the Vivo Y38 5G to appear in the coming weeks. This device will likely get a global release, but we will wait for further details. It is worth noting that Vivo is also preparing a new mid-range dubbed Vivo T3x. So it will be a busy season for Vivo enthusiasts.
