The handset will bear a 6.51-inch LCD screen with an HD+ (720x1600 pixels) resolution and an aspect ratio of 20:9. It will be offered in Fluorite Black, Nebula Blue, and Early Snow Dawn color options.
It will sport an 8MP selfie snapper
The Vivo Y33s 5G will be equipped with a dual rear camera setup comprising a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary lens. For selfies and video calling, it will have an 8MP front-facing camera.
