Vivo has made a new addition to its phone line-up in China called Y79. The device comes with mid-end specs and is one of the very few smartphones released by the firm to feature an 18:9 FullView display. It is wrapped in a curved metal unibody protected on the front with Gorilla Glass 3, measuring 7.7mm in thickness.
The Y79 has a front-facing 24MP camera with f/2.0 aperture for taking selfie, and there is a LED flash at the front for lighting the face up in the dark. At the back is a 16MP camera, which also comes with an f/2.0 aperture and a LED flash.
