The Y55 is designed with the Filipino youth in mind, who love to express themselves and share their stories online using their smartphones. Not only can it keep up with their multi-tasking demands, but it also offers useful features to level up their selfie experience.

The Y55’s ultra-slim and unibody design shows craftsmanship and elegance with its 2.5D curved glass and a premium finish similar to the V3 and V3Max.

The Y55 runs on FuntouchOS version 2.6 (on top of Android 6.0 Marshmallow) which introduces some nifty improvements such as Smart Split 2.0, which for example allows you to continue watching a video on half of your screen, while reading or replying to a text message on the other half.
