Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 (12nm)Chipset 128GB, 4GB RAMRAM & Storage Dual: 13 MP, f/2.2, (wide), PDAF +Rear Camera Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable batteryBattery

A 5000 mAh battery anchors this entry-level device, the kind of capacity that gets you through a full day without hunting for a charger. Powering it is Mediatek's Helio P35, an older 12nm chipset paired with 4GB RAM and 128GB of storage, plenty of room for apps and photos, with a dedicated microSD slot if you need more. The 6.51-inch IPS LCD runs at HD+ resolution, which is standard fare at this price point rather than a highlight.

On the back, you get a 13MP main camera with autofocus alongside a 2MP macro lens, a modest but usable pairing for everyday shots. The 5MP front camera handles video calls and selfies without fuss. vivo Y16 price in Malaysia starts from RM490, positioning it as a budget pick for anyone who prioritizes battery life and storage over raw performance.

There's no NFC here, so contactless payments are off the table, but you do get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, dual SIM support, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, features that matter more day-to-day than they might seem on paper.
