Vivo Y35 review: An affordable but limited 4G smartphone

This Vivo Y35 is equipped with a triple rear photo module consisting of a 50-megapixel wide-angle whose lens opens at f / 1.8 and macro and depth sensors of 2 Mpx each (f / 2. 4). Overall, comparable equipment, for example, with that of the Samsung Galaxy A23 5G.

Main module: 50 megapixels, f/1.8

During the day, the Vivo Y35’s score is correct, but not outstanding. The shot is slightly overexposed and out of focus, which can be recognized by the color patterns on the white background or the faces.

The Galaxy A23’s photo is far from exceptional, but the rendering is a little sharper. The processing is slightly more contrasting, which gives the impression of better showing off the details of the scene. A look at the map shows this.

At night, neither smartphone can really pull itself out of the game, but the left photo looks a bit easier to read, probably thanks to the ISO increase driven by the sensor. This allows certain elements in particular, such as the face on the banknote or the characters on the book, to be better highlighted.

The Samsung’s digital smoothing is a bit more pronounced, causing the level of detail to drop sharply. The Vivo Y35 takes a small advantage, but these two references are clearly not designed for night photography.

50MP mode

To enable full resolution mode, go to the “More” tab in the Photos application settings.

Unfortunately, these 50 Mpx shots do not offer enough detail to be recommended. They make it easier to crop the photo, but of course they also use up the (admittedly generous) storage space of the smartphone.

Front and video module

The smartphone has a 16-megapixel front sensor associated with a lens opening at f/2. It’s possible to take some pretty convincing selfies when the light is plentiful. The set is quite detailed, although the overall color is still a little too faded. It’s much more complicated in the dark.

It is possible to film both in front and behind in Full HD at 30 fps. We advise against moving too much, as the lack of electronic stabilization quickly becomes noticeable.
