Hazel Bascon, vice president of Vivo Philippines, said they launched the smartphone in time for the Christmas shopping season.

?The Y55 is Vivo?s first-ever entry-level smartphone that is equipped with an octa-core processor, and the first Vivo smartphone in the country that runs on the latest version of FunTouch OS,” the executive said.

Mark Cuevas, product manager of Vivo Philippines, said the Y55 will change the game for everyone ? from consumers who love to play games to those who just browse the web.

Cuevas said Y55 is equipped with the latest FunTouch OS with Smart Split 2.0 on Android Marshmallow, an 8-MP rear camera that scales up to 32 MP if used in FHD and 5 MP in front, octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, and Smart Screen Flash. It is also housed in a unibody design.

?Entry-level smartphones do not have to be sluggish anymore,? said Cuevas.
