Barely two days passed since MediaTek unveiled its new Helio P22 chipset, and Vivo is here with the first smartphone powered by the same chip. The latest offering from the Chinese phone maker is dubbed Vivo Y83 and aside from the new chipset comes with a full-screen bezel-less display with a notch on top and premium all-glass design. Unlike the previous offering from Vivo, the Y83 was announced silently in its home country without much fanfare. The device seems to come with a metal body with a back panel gets a mirror finish using a new high-gloss coating technology. Aimed at youth, the device comes in Aurora white, Polar Black and Red colour options.
