vivo Y22
Specifications score
| Specifications score: | 2.7/10 |
| Specifications score for vivo Y22 calculated as a summary of the next device components: chipset, RAM, storage, main camera, display, material, selfie camera, battery, sensors and some separated features like double SIM, sound jack, etc. It does not include network, because network compatibility mostly location-dependent. It also does not include software, because it makes very little difference which exact version of Android or iPhone runs on this device. It also does not takes in consideration brand, as brand value hard to calculate. It also ignores user ratings as user ratings are not available at the moment of smartphone release. Therefore, when choosing new gadget, those additional parameters should be considered as well. Currently, the best smartphone (with the highest Specifications score) is Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra . |
|
| Spec score alternatives: | BLU G90 Pro, Micromax In note 1, Realme C15 Qualcomm Edition, LG Velvet 5G, Huawei Y7a, Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Lite, Realme 6, TCL 10 5G UW, Xiaomi Poco M2 Pro, Google Pixel 4a |

Hardware
Chipset 2.1/10
| Name: | MediaTek Helio G85 |
| MediaTek inc. is a Taiwan company that produces chips for smartphones, televisions and other electronical products | |
| Rank: | 116 |
| Chipset (SoC or System on Chip) is the most expensive and important part of device. It commits the bigger part of smartphone's specification score and value for money. But it is usually very hard to evaluate chipset based on typical info like number of cores and clock rate. Instead, we maintain a list of chipsets used in modern smartphones sorted by all available data including benchmark tests like AnTuTu and GeekBench. (Look below). Currently, the best chipset ranked #1 has Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max |
|
| Number of cores: | 8 (2+6) |
| Number of cores is the number of microprocessors built in current chipset. Generally, the more cores the better. Number of cores defines the number of tasks that smartphone can process simultaneously. Most of the modern chipsets, both cheap and expensive have 8 cores. Also, cheap inefficient chipset can have more processors than expensive performent one. Therefore, this parameter alone is not very informative. |
|
| Max clock rate: | 2000 |
| Max clock rate is the maximum frequency at which microprocessor is running. One MHz, for example, means that processor makes one million cycles per second. Generally, the higher clock rate the better, but other factors should be considered as well. Some processors can perform only one action per cycle, while others can do two or more. Some chipsets have 1x3x4 architecture with one "fast" processor and seven "slow" processors, while other chipsets can have 4x4 architecture with four "fast" and four "slow" processors. Old, inefficient chipset can have higher clock rate than new efficient one. Therefore, this parameter taken separately is not very informative. |
|
| Technology process: | 14 nm |
| Technology process refers to the size of transistors and the distance between two transistors on a microprocessor. The smaller this parameter the better. Meaning, that more transistors can be packed on the same square. Nanometer means one billionth (1/1000,000,000) of a meter. Currently, the most advanced microprocessors use a 5nm technology process. This parameter is very unambiguous and allows easily separate high-end devices (5-7nm) from cheap devices that use old chipsets with 14-28nm process. |
|
| CPU: | Octa-core (2x2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 & 6x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55) |
| Central processing unit. The most important part of a chipset. Consists of several (usually 8) microprocessors each boards millions of transistors. |
|
| GPU: | Mali-G52 MP2 |
| Graphic processing unit. Graphic processing unit process instructions related to graphics: rendering images, playing videos, etc. |
|
| AnTuTu benchmark score: | 195901 |
| AnTuTu is a Chinese software benchmark tool usually used to test smartphones performance. |

|
Main camera 0.8/10
Camera sensors
| Number of camera sensors: | 2 |
| Modern smartphones usually have a rear camera which consists of several cameras/sensors. Why smartphone cameras need multiple sensors? It is because of the smartphone's low thickness. Smartphones are very thin and cannot have pullout lenses. Therefore each camera sensor has its fixed focal length and angle. Ultrawide sensors have a smaller focal length. Telephoto sensors have a bigger focal length. The main camera sensor usually "wide" and its focal length somewhere in between telephoto and ultrawide. |
|
|
|
|
| Wide: | Yes |
| Phones usually have a wide-angle primary sensor. | |
| Focal length: | -- |
| Focal length is the distance from the focal point to the sensor. Wide-angle cameras have a focal length in a range between 22 and 30mm. | |
| Angle of view: | -- |
| The Angle of View (or The Field of View) is a value that describes how much of the scene will be captured by a camera shot. The maximum possible value is 180 °. Wide-angle cameras typically have Angle of View in a range between 60 and 85 ° |
|
| Image resolution: | 50 MP |
| Image resolution refers to the number of pixels on the photo. The more the better, but when two cameras are compared, pixel size should be considered as well. For example, a 10Mp camera with pixel size 2µm better than a 16Mp camera with a pixel of 1µm. Generally high resolution good for printing posters, but bigger pixels important when shooting in low light conditions. Because of this, cameras with high-resolution use pixel binning by default. Pixel binning means that several pixels joined in one. For example, a 48Mp camera with a pixel of 0.8µm turns into 12Mp one with 1.6 µm pixel. Modern devices usually have image resolution from 5 up to 108Mp. |
|
| Pixel size: | -- |
| Pixels are tiny dots that image consists of. For example, an image with a resolution of 12Mp roughly contains 12 million pixels. The size of pixels (or photosites) is important because the bigger the photosite the more light can be captured by the sensor. Smartphones usually have pixel size in a range between 0.7 and 2.4µm. By using binning, cameras with high resolution can create super-pixels with a 4 or even 9 ratio. |
|
| Sensor size (diagonal): | -- |
| The bigger sensor the better. Meaning, the more light can go through and more quality photos can be captured. Especially in a low light condition. Sensor size is strongly related to resolution and pixel size. The larger the sensor, the higher can be the resolution and the bigger the pixel size. | |
| Aperture (f-number): | f/1.8 |
| Aperture, in simple words, is just a size of a hole through which light goes inside the camera. Aperture is expressed in f-numbers (f-stop numbers) and calculated as focal length divided by aperture diameter. A bigger aperture is better for shooting in low light conditions. A smaller aperture can produce more contrast pictures in daylight. The smaller the number after slash "/" the bigger the aperture. For example, an aperture with f/1.4 is bigger than an aperture with f/2.2. Smartphone devices usually have cameras with the fixed aperture in a range between f/1.4 and f/3.0. |

Network
| 2g: | 850, 900, 1800, 1900 |
| 2g - second-generation cellular network launched in 1991. It was the first network with a word "generation" in its name. Preexisted networks were retrospectively called 1g - first generation. Some operators currently shutting down 2g networks, but some shutting down 3g still relying on 2g for backup. | |
| 3g: | B1, B5, B8 |
| 3g - third-generation cellular network launched in Japan in 1998. Was adopted worldwide during 2002-2008. | |
| 4g (LTE): | B1, B3, B5, B8, B40 |
| 4g - fourth-generation cellular network, successor to 3g and predecessor to 5g. Launched in 2009 in Finland and Sweden. Most widely used network today. It is important to ensure that the smartphone you are going to buy, has 4g bands used by your mobile provider. | |
| 5g: | |
| 5g - fifth-generation cellular network, successor to 4g and predecessor to 6g. Started to deploy worldwide in 2019, it is now presented in many countries, but the coverage is still very limited. | |
Network compatibility
| In the above table, you see frequencies/bands used by mobile networks carriers in the selected country. Those supported by vivo Y22 are green, and those that are not supported are red. Ideally, they all must be green in order to use vivo Y22 with this particular mobile provider. But, if some of them are red, it does not mean that vivo Y22 will not work. First, if your carrier has 4g support, you, probably, don't need 2g compatibility at all, as you will mostly use 4g, while rarely using 3g in case 4g is not available. Second, carriers have bands that they call "main" or "primary". Most of the time, you are using those primary bands. Therefore, in order to work, vivo Y22 should only be compatible with those main bands. When in doubt, call your provider and ask which bands should be supported in your locations. | |
