As the rainy season arrives, daily commuters across Manila tasked with braving the elements find solace in capabilities of the vivo Y31d. Frequent downpours and flooding often disrupt daily activities, and in these wet conditions, smartphones have become essential lifelines for communication, navigation, and emergency updates. However, exposure to moisture often compromises touchscreen responsiveness or risks permanent water damage, disrupting access to critical information when connectivity matters most. To address these challenges, the device is engineered with advanced water protection and features specifically designed for use in the rain.
The smartphone carries dual IP68 and IP69 dust and water resistance ratings, which provide high-level protection against rain exposure and even high-pressure water jets. It is tested to withstand submersion in up to 1.5 meters of fresh water for as long as 30 minutes, offering significant peace of mind for those caught in unexpected storms or heavy splashes during their daily commute. Enhancing this physical durability is the Wet-Hand Touch feature, which ensures the display remains responsive even when the user’s hands or the screen itself are covered in rain, sweat, or splashes. This allows for uninterrupted use of navigation tools or ride-booking apps when they are needed most in damp environments.
To support long-term maintenance after weather exposure, the device includes a One-Tap Water Ejection and Dust Removal tool. By using calibrated vibrations, the system helps clear residual moisture and debris from the speaker and charging port, preserving both audio clarity and charging performance over time. These innovations are a reflection of the company’s “Benfen” philosophy, which focuses on doing the right things correctly to create value for society.
Available in Glow White and Starlight Grey, the handset is offered with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. Pricing for the vivo Y31d starts at Php 12,999, and it is currently available through the official e-store and authorized retail partners including Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. Supported by a massive R&D network in cities like Shenzhen and Beijing, the brand continues to build bridges between humans and the digital world for over 500 million users. Through unique creativity, the firm provides users with an increasingly convenient digital life across more than 60 countries and regions.
