What's the story
Vivo has launched a new Y-series handset in China, dubbed the "Y77e."
The device is offered in three memory variants, including 6GB/128GB, 8GB/128GB, and 8GB/256GB, and is available in three colorways.
As for the key highlights, the smartphone features a Full-HD+ OLED display, a 13MP main camera, a MediaTek Dimensity 810 chip, and a 5,000mAh battery.
Context
Why does this story matter?
The Vivo Y77e is a watered-down version of the Y77 that was launched in China last month. It also has some similarities to the Y77 5G available in Malaysia.
The handset's price point is a little puzzling. The "e" variant carries almost the same price tag as the superior Y77.
It needs to be seen how it affects the phone's marketability.

The Vivo Y77e features a waterdrop notch design with a prominent bottom bezel and a side-mounted fingerprint reader. On the rear, it sports a rectangle-like camera bump.
The handset bears a 6.58-inch Full-HD+ (1080x2408 pixels) OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate and a 180Hz touch sampling rate.
It is offered in Crystal Black, Crystal Powder, and Summer Listening to the Sea color options.
