Kuala Lumpur, 11 June 2026 – Vivo Y31s 5G Unveils in Malaysia With a budget-friendly yet powerful smartphone powered by a 6500 mAh BlueVolt battery. Designed for durability, it features IP68 and IP69+ water resistance, triple-layer Water-Resistant protection, and military-grade drop resistance. With strong long-term battery health designed to retain its capacity over time, the vivo Y31s is built to keep up with work, travel, and everyday life.
Available in two stylish colours inspired by the night scenery of Kuala Lumpur, the vivo Y31s is designed with a premium and expressive look in KL Midnight Purple and Glowing Black. KL Midnight Purple reflects the city’s vibrant skyline and tropical nights with cosmic-inspired details and silver accents, while Glowing Black is inspired by a starry galaxy with a deep, mysterious glow and subtle shimmering lights. The phone boasts a sleek quad-curved back, matte metal-style frame, a slim 8.39mm design, and a lightweight 209g weight for a comfortable hold. It also features a compact ring-shaped Dynamic Light that wakes up the camera module with animated colours for calls, notifications, charging, music and alerts. The lighting can be personalised by users to suit their style and mood.
All-Day Power, Long-Term Reliability
The vivo Y31s 6500 mAh BlueVolt Battery is built for Malaysian blue-collar professionals who depend on their phones to power through their long, gruelling days, offering reliable endurance without the constant need for recharging. All-day performance is engineered to support continuous real-world usage, even after long hours of continuous driving. It’s also marathon-ready for entertainment users, with hours of streaming and extended viewing sessions. But it’s also power efficient, with up to 9.6 days of standby and intelligent sleep standby optimisation to cut drain during periods of inactivity.
The battery is designed to last, with up to 1600 full charge and discharge cycles while holding at least 80% of its capacity in laboratory conditions. That’s about 5 years of usage, depending on your average daily charging behaviour. The design is based on an ultra high energy density 782 Wh/L architecture which provides about 18% higher density than standard graphite based batteries and about 1000 mAh more capacity in the same volume. Structural improvements to anode and cathode stability, low lithium consumption electrolyte that reduces degradation and the MMT process for improved heat dissipation and charging efficiency all work in tandem to extend overall battery lifespan.
A self-developed battery health algorithm optimises usage in terms of software and charging with features like overnight charging protection, high temperature protection, real-time battery health display, and custom charging limits of 90% or 80% further extends lifespan. The device also features Smart 44W FlashCharge with a 29-dimension safety protection system for overvoltage, overcurrent, temperature and short circuit safeguards, and a high-efficiency 2:1 buck-boost IC chip with up to 98.5% efficiency. Intelligent multi-stage charging control, 43,200 temperature checks per day and support for PPS fast charging ensure fast, stable and safe charging performance under different conditions.
Tough Enough for Every Shift, Rain, Dust, and Drop
Designed for people whose work takes them outdoors, on the road and through unpredictable conditions, the vivo Y31s delivers a comprehensive durability system built around water, dust and impact protection. The device features professional-grade IP68 and IP69+ dust and water resistance, surviving prolonged submersion and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets, making it very capable in everyday spills and harsh working conditions alike. A triple water-resistant structural design ensures even better internal sealing, while the Wet-Hand Touch and underwater One-Tap Water Photography further guarantee seamless usability in the rain, with wet hands, and when faced with unpredictable outdoor tasks. Water ejection system integrated to quickly eject residual moisture for continued performance after water exposure.
IP6X Dustproof Protection Industrial grade takes durability to the next level by sealing the device completely from fine particles for reliable performance in dusty or high-debris environments. In terms of physical resilience, the vivo Y31s is SGS Gold Label 5-Star Premium Performance certified for 3.5 meters drop resistance, and is compliant with military-grade certified MIL-STD-810H standards, backed by a multi-angle drop testing framework. It also features Guardian Glass with a dual ion-exchange strengthening process that significantly improves puncture resistance, surface impact strength and overall durability. The vivo Y31s has undergone rigorous reliability testing, including extreme temperature endurance, multiple simulations of button and port use, and high frequency drop scenarios, engineered to last through daily wear with long-lasting confidence.
