Y27 5G (V2302) Satin Purple 8+8GB RAM 256GB NFC Review – Middle East Version
Introduction
The Y27 5G (model number V2302) in Satin Purple arrived on my desk promising a compelling blend of features and affordability. Boasting 8+8GB of RAM, 256GB of internal storage, and a 44W SuperCharge system, this dual SIM 5G phone aims to punch above its weight class. But does it deliver on its promises? After weeks of rigorous testing, here’s my comprehensive review.
Key Features
The Y27 5G packs a punch with its key features, including the impressive 44W SuperCharge that truly delivers on its promise of a rapid top-up. The 5000mAh battery lasted comfortably through a full day of moderate to heavy use. The Dimensity 6020 processor, coupled with the extended RAM, handles multitasking smoothly. The inclusion of NFC for contactless payments adds to its convenience.

Performance & Battery Life
The Dimensity 6020 processor, while not the most powerful on the market, handles daily tasks with ease. I experienced minimal lag during multitasking and even light gaming. The 44W SuperCharge is a standout feature; topping up the 5000mAh battery from nearly empty to around 30% in just 15 minutes is impressive. Battery life itself was excellent, consistently lasting a full day, even with extensive use.
Camera Performance
The camera system is a mixed bag. The 50MP main sensor captures decent shots in good lighting conditions, with accurate colors and detail. Low-light performance is acceptable but not exceptional. The 8MP front-facing camera is adequate for selfies but lacks the detail and dynamic range of higher-end alternatives.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Excellent battery life, incredibly fast charging, smooth performance for the price point, NFC functionality, durable build.
- Cons: Camera performance could be better in low light, display is an LCD (not AMOLED).
Final Verdict
The Y27 5G (V2302) is a solid mid-range smartphone that offers excellent value for money. The standout features are its blazing-fast charging and impressive battery life. While the camera isn’t class-leading, it’s perfectly adequate for everyday use. If you’re looking for a reliable, long-lasting 5G phone without breaking the bank, the Y27 5G is a strong contender. I would recommend it to anyone seeking a balanced package of features and performance.
