From various comments and feedback online, many users still have a fondness for LCD screens. Although the display quality of LCD screens is significantly inferior to that of OLED screens, they have certain advantages in terms of eye protection. This is primarily because they generally use global DC dimming, eliminating the flickering issues associated with OLED screens, which makes them less likely to cause eye fatigue during prolonged viewing.While LCD screens are more eye-friendly, mid to high-end smartphones today rarely use this type of display. Finding a “comfortable to use” LCD screen smartphone is quite challenging. Many users opt for second-hand models like the iPhone 11, IQOO Z8, and Redmi Note 12T Pro. These choices are reasonable, but if you are looking to purchase a new LCD screen smartphone, the product that Old Liu will discuss next is also worth considering, especially for users who do not have high performance and photography requirements.
As shown in the image above, this smartphone is the vivo Y300t, which has an official starting price of 1199 yuan. However, with national subsidies, the actual price can be less than 1000 yuan. Considering its product characteristics, the purchase value is quite high. In Old Liu’s view, this smartphone has two particularly attractive features, which will be discussed next:
1. Extremely Eye-Friendly LCD ScreenThe vivo Y300t features a 6.72-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 2408*1080. Although its resolution does not reach the 1.5K level, the standard RGB arrangement of the LCD screen provides a clearer display. The actual clarity is comparable to that of a 1.5K resolution OLED screen, and even upon close inspection, there is no noticeable pixelation.Additionally, this screen boasts a peak brightness of 1050 nits, making it one of the brightest in the LCD category. Even in strong outdoor lighting, the screen content remains easily visible. Furthermore, this screen supports a variable refresh rate of up to 120Hz, balancing smoothness and power consumption.Finally, it supports global true DC dimming, eliminating the hazards of flickering and alleviating eye fatigue during prolonged screen use.
2. Exceptional Battery LifeIn addition to the high-quality LCD screen, the vivo Y300t has another appealing advantage: it is equipped with a massive 6500mAh battery. Under moderate usage, it can achieve over 10 hours of screen-on time. Even for users with heavy usage, it can last a full day without significant battery anxiety.With its high-quality LCD screen, exceptional battery life, and a price under 1000 yuan, the vivo Y300t offers considerable purchase value.Next, Old Liu will discuss its performance, camera, external specifications, and build quality. Considering its price, the performance is not bad.
In terms of performance, the vivo Y300t is powered by the Dimensity 7300 processor, which is manufactured using TSMC’s 4nm process, resulting in low power consumption. In fact, its performance is slightly better than that of the Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and second-generation Snapdragon 7S chips, achieving a score of around 750,000 on AnTuTu. It can smoothly run various daily applications and handle mid to low-load gaming scenarios like Honor of Kings.However, if you require a smartphone for heavy gaming, the Dimensity 7300 will struggle, making this phone unsuitable for gamers!
Regarding photography, its performance is also mediocre, featuring a combination of a 50MP main camera and a 2MP depth sensor, without optical image stabilization. The image quality is quite average, but it is sufficient for scanning QR codes, so this phone is not suitable for photography enthusiasts.In terms of external specifications, the vivo Y300t performs reasonably well, as it supports full-featured NFC and infrared remote control, which many other smartphones in the same price range do not offer.
As for the build quality, we shouldn’t have high expectations for a smartphone in this price range. It features a plastic back and plastic frame, which is on par with other models in the same price category.Overall, the vivo Y300t is not perfect; for instance, its performance is average and its camera is subpar. However, considering its price, other smartphones in the same range also exhibit similar shortcomings in these areas, so performance and photography are not significant drawbacks for the vivo Y300t.Its advantages are quite clear: an extremely eye-friendly LCD screen and excellent battery life. If you particularly value these two aspects, the vivo Y300t is undoubtedly worth considering.
