Choosing a smartphone has become particularly daunting, hasn’t it? We spend so much time staring at our phone screens that our eyes easily get fatigued, and we long for an eye-friendly device. When we’re out and about, we worry about battery life and need strong endurance. However, with a limited budget, it’s tough to balance performance and camera quality. Many people still reminisce about LCD screens; although their display quality is slightly inferior to OLED screens, they are easier on the eyes, with less flicker, making prolonged use more comfortable. As one digital blogger mentioned in a forum: “Finding an LCD screen smartphone nowadays is like searching for a needle in a haystack.”
Today, I want to introduce the vivo Y300t. If you don’t have high demands for smartphone performance and photography, this might be worth a look. The official starting price is 1199 yuan, and with national subsidies, the actual price can be under 1000 yuan, making it quite cost-effective. It has two major highlights that we will discuss in detail.
First, let’s talk about the screen. The vivo Y300t features a 6.72-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 2408*1080. Although the resolution doesn’t reach 1.5K, the LCD screen uses a standard RGB arrangement, providing decent clarity. When viewed up close, the screen’s pixelation? Nonexistent; it is comparable to the display delicacy of a 1.5K OLED screen. Moreover, its global peak brightness can reach 1050 nits, which is quite impressive for an LCD screen, allowing clear visibility even under bright sunlight. It also supports a 120Hz variable refresh rate, ensuring smooth visuals with low power consumption. Most importantly, it features global true DC dimming, eliminating flicker issues, making prolonged screen time much more comfortable for the eyes.
Next, let’s discuss battery life. This smartphone is equipped with a massive 6500mAh battery. Under moderate load, the screen-on time exceeds 10 hours. Even for heavy users, a single charge can last a full day, alleviating battery anxiety while out and about.
Of course, it does have its shortcomings. In terms of performance, it uses the Dimensity 7300 processor, which, although based on TSMC’s 4nm process and low power consumption, scores around 750,000 points. It can handle daily applications and mid-load games like Honor of Kings, but forget about running large-scale games; it simply can’t manage. The camera performance is also average, with a 50MP main camera and a 2MP depth camera combination that lacks optical image stabilization, resulting in mediocre image quality. It’s fine for scanning codes, but photography enthusiasts will likely be disappointed.
The external specifications are decent, supporting full-featured NFC and infrared remote control, which many other smartphones in the same price range lack. As for the build quality, it features a plastic back and plastic frame, similar to other models in this price range, so we can’t expect too much.
This news has sparked quite a debate. Some believe that the vivo Y300t is eye-friendly, has strong battery life, and is affordably priced, making it sufficient for daily use. However, others argue that its performance and camera quality are lacking, making it less enjoyable to use, and suggest spending a bit more for a better-equipped model.
