There is also a 5-megapixel camera sensor at the front.

Vivo has equipped the Y01 with 32GB of onboard storage that supports expansion via microSD card (up to 1TB) through the dedicated slot.

Connectivity options on the Vivo Y01 include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS/ A-GPS, and a Micro-USB port. The phone also comes with a Face Wake feature that helps unlock the phone by looking at its front.

The Vivo Y01 packs a 5,000mAh battery that is rated to deliver "hours of usage" on a single charge.
