vivo launches new Y Series smartphones – With an unprecedented 7-Star Quality Promise
vivo has officially launched its new Y Series smartphones, offering South Africans innovative and reliable devices at affordable prices.
The new Y Series launches with three smartphones as part of its local lineup – the Y29, Y19s Pro, and Y04 – each designed and built to provide South Africans with longevity and impressive performance.
As a part of this design, vivo offers its 7-Star Quality Promise on new Y Series smartphones activated before 31 May 2026.
The 7-Star Quality Promise is a first for the smartphone industry and provides excellent peace of mind.
This includes a 360-degree Accidental Protection with a one-time free repair – available for a year on the Y29 and Y19s Pro, and 180 days on the Y04.
This is possible thanks to the numerous durability technologies it has implemented in these smartphones, which form part of the 7-Star Quality Promise.
This includes military-grade damage protection with MIL-STD-810H impact resistance and SGS Drop Resistance Certification.
IP64 Dust and Water Resistance is also included to protect against splashes and dust. The Y29 comes with a reinforced TPU cover for extra durability, while the Y19s Pro and Y04 include a standard TPU cover.
Extended usage isn’t an issue either, as the Y Series comes equipped with batteries designed to last 5 years, and the Y29 also has a 50-month smooth performance guarantee for lag-free use.
We’ve outlined what each of the three Y Series offers below.
