TENAA-approved vivo Y79 is a rebranded V7+ for China

A new vivo smartphone has been approved by China's TENAA. Listed as vivo Y79, the device is powered by an SoC with octa-core, 1.8GHz processor, and sports a 5.99-inch display with 1440×720 pixel resolution.

RAM is 4GB, while internal memory is 64GB. The handset features a 16MP rear camera and a 24MP front shooter. Measuring 155.87×75.74×7.7mm and weighing in at 160g, the phone runs Android 7.1.2 Nougat OS out of the box.

A 3,150mAh battery is there to keep the lights on. There's also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. Available color options include gold.

Now, if you are keeping track the design and most of the Y79 specs are identical to that of the vivo V7+, which was launched by the company last month. The only major exception being battery - the V7+ packs in a 3,225mAh battery.

Oh, and yes, there's another model Y79A that TENAA has approved. The only difference between the Y79 and Y79A is support for CDMA 2000 networks.
