Is the vivo Y18 worth buying at ₹22,999?

Yes — at ₹22,999 the vivo Y18 is worth considering, scoring 3.3 out of 5 against other phones at this price. It is strongest on camera and weakest on battery. We have seen it as low as ₹7,991.

The ZuPick verdict

3.3out of 5
ConsiderBest at camera, weakest at battery.

The vivo Y18 gets the basics right for a budget buyer: a bright smooth screen, dependable battery life, a good main camera and practical everyday features. It is best for simple, reliable use rather than speed-focused use.

Performance3.0
Performance is suited to routine tasks like calling, chat, video and light apps. 4 GB RAM is workable, but eMMC storage makes installs and app loading slower.
Camera4.2
The camera setup is a strong point for this price. You get a 50 MP main camera with autofocus, an f/1.8 lens and 1080p video, so daylight photos and everyday clips should come out nicely.
Display3.4
This display is comfortable for everyday use. The 90 Hz refresh rate makes scrolling smoother, the 720x1612 screen is fine for video and reading, and peak brightness of 840 nits helps in strong outdoor light.
Battery2.6
Battery life should be dependable for normal daily use thanks to the 5000 mAh battery. Charging is on the slower side at 15W, so it is better for overnight charging than quick refills.
Value3.4
At ₹7991, this phone lands in a competitive part of the budget market. The bright display, solid main camera and useful extras give it fair value for buyers who want a dependable everyday phone.

Pros & cons

What’s good
Bright 90 Hz screen

The 90 Hz display feels smoother than a basic 60 Hz panel when scrolling through apps and social media. Peak brightness of 840 nits also helps outdoors.

Reliable main camera

The 50 MP rear camera with autofocus and an f/1.8 lens is well set up for clear daylight photos. It is a solid camera setup for everyday family shots and documents.

Good everyday battery

The 5000 mAh battery is the standard sweet spot for this budget and should comfortably handle a full day of calls, messaging and video. 15W charging is usable for overnight or top-up charging.

Useful extras included

Stereo speakers, a side fingerprint sensor, headphone jack and expandable storage make daily use easier. These are practical features buyers at this price will notice.

What’s not
Slow app loading

eMMC storage is slower than the faster storage used in better budget phones. App installs, updates and opening heavier apps can feel less snappy.

Basic charging speed

15W charging gets the job done, but it is not quick by current budget standards. A big top-up will take patience.

Not for heavy gaming

With 4 GB RAM and entry-level overall speed for this price, it is better suited to calling, chat, video and light apps. Heavier games and lots of multitasking will feel limited.
