Display Comparison

The vivo V27 boasts a significantly brighter display, reaching 1055 nits peak brightness, compared to the Y100's unspecified brightness. The V27's 'infinite' contrast ratio (though nominal) suggests excellent image quality. Both likely feature AMOLED panels with vibrant colors and deep blacks, but the V27's brightness advantage is noticeable in outdoor conditions.

Camera Comparison

Both phones feature dedicated camera systems, but detailed camera specs are missing. However, the V27's likely improved image processing capabilities, thanks to its more powerful chipset, should result in better photo and video quality, especially in challenging lighting conditions. Expect improved dynamic range and noise reduction.

Performance

The Dimensity 7200 in the V27 is a clear winner here. Its 4nm process and newer CPU architecture (Cortex-A715 cores) provide a substantial performance boost over the Y100's Dimensity 900 (6nm) and older Cortex-A78 cores. Expect smoother multitasking, faster app loading, and better gaming performance on the V27.

Battery Life

Both phones offer excellent battery life, with an endurance rating of 134h. The V27's 66W charging is noticeably faster than the Y100's 44W, allowing for quicker top-ups.

Buying Guide

The vivo Y100 is a good choice for users prioritizing a balance of features and affordability. The vivo V27 is ideal for those seeking a smoother performance, a vibrant display, and faster charging speeds, and are willing to spend a bit more.
