Vivo Y58 5G: Vivo is all about making phones that represent a mix of style, feature-packed with the camera as a key focus, and its new Vivo Y58 5G is no different, landing in India as a mid-range option on a budget.
It’s for users who want modern connectivity, a battery that works for days, and a solid everyday experience, and don’t want to spend a fortune to get it.
Let’s take a closer look at what this phone has — from performance and design to what it can do well, and what it could have done better.
Design and Build: 5mm shell, looks durable & eye grabbing finish
Design: Movies and More As has been the case with many Vivo phones, the Y58 5G does not disappoint in the design department. The device has a premium feel thanks to a smooth matte finish back finish with a massive camera module that adds a flagship look.
Available in classy hues like Himalayan Blue and Sundarbans Green the phone gets a good build and also feels comfortable to hold despite the fact that it’s giant.
The back is built of plastic but Vivo has managed to give it a glass finish. Coming in at 199g, the device feels heavy without being overbearing.
It’s also IP64 dust and water resistance to boot, which is uncommon at this tinier price point — a win for budget shoppers, for sure.
Display: Bright and Smooth
The Vivo Y58 5G has a 6.72-inch FHD+ LCD screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz. It delivers smooth scrolling and a great video experience, including for browsing, social media, and casual gaming.
With the maximum brightness of 1024 nits, sunlight visibility is reasonable, which is a great friend of outdoor users.
It’s not an AMOLED panel, but the colours are far more saturated than the price would suggest, and the fast refresh rate is a premium touch for day-to-day use.
Performance: A trusty choice for daily use
Under the hood, the Y58 5G is driven by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chipset, which is accompanied with 8GB or RAM and 128GB of onboard storage.
The phone is fast and responsive, and the Funtouch OS is relatively clean and easy to use.
In everyday, such as calling, browsing, video streaming, to even mild gaming, it was clean and lag-free.
Multitasking is also managed smoothly courtesy an additional 8GB of virtual RAM. This isn’t flagship-level power, but for most of us, it’s plenty fast enough.
Battery and Charging: Marathon Managements
The huge 6000mAh battery is the main attraction of the Vivo Y58 5G. The phone is built to last — 2 whole days with regular usage is no biggie.
Whether you’re binging shows or in online classes or WhatsApping a lot, you won’t have to reach for that charger too much, and in any case you know where it is.
Charging is done by 44W fast charging that can get the phone from 0 to 50% in half an hour. It is not the fastest in the market but it fast enough for its class.
Cameras: Simple, but Capable
The Y58 5G has a main rear 50MP sensor with a 2MP depth sensor. Drawing quality is good for snapshot photography, and particularly in daylight shots are sharp, detailed, and well balanced. Vivo’s image processing gives a little vibrance, which most users will appreciate.
Up front is an 8MP selfie camera and in good light it does a good job. Night photography is not a strong suit, however — there is no ultra-wide or night mode here to fancy things up.

Night Shots usually Suck: Low-light photos are grainy and detail-less
Bloatware: Vivo Funtouch OS still includes its share of useless apps
