Vivo Nepal just increased the price of the Vivo Y31d by around 33%, and people are not too happy about it. The phone was already competing in a pretty packed mid-range space, and now with the new price tag, things look even more questionable. Anyone in Nepal who is thinking about buying this phone should know exactly what they are getting before making a decision.
- Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2, up to 8GB RAM & 256GB storage
- 6.75-inch HD+ LCD display with 120Hz refresh rate
- 50MP rear camera with 44W FlashCharge support
- Massive 7,200mAh battery lasting up to 2 days
Display and Design
The Y31d comes with a 6.75-inch LCD screen with HD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. The brightness can go up to 1,250 nits, which means it stays visible under direct sunlight. The screen also has TÜV Rheinland Blue Light Reduction certification, so long hours of use should be easier on the eyes. The phone is built with a plastic body and a metal camera island. It measures 166.6×78.4×8.39mm and weighs 219g. It carries an IP69+ rating, meaning it can handle water splashes and dust pretty well. It also responds to touch even with wet hands. The phone comes in two colors, Glow White and Starlight Gray.
Performance
The Vivo Y31d Nepal version is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 6s 4G Gen 2 chip made on a 6nm process. For everyday use like browsing, streaming, and casual gaming, it keeps up without much trouble. Anyone planning to run graphic-heavy games or push multiple apps at once will notice it struggling after a while. It also does not support 5G, so users stay on 4G networks only. RAM options go up to 8GB and storage up to 256GB. The phone runs Android 16 with OriginOS 6 and comes with several AI-based features like text conversion, note summarizing, and audio recording tools.
Camera
The back of the phone has a 50MP main sensor with an f/2.0 aperture and a 2MP depth lens for portrait shots. The front carries an 8MP camera for selfies and video calls. For regular outdoor photos and posting on social media, it clicks decent pictures without much effort. Once the light drops, image quality takes a noticeable hit, and anyone wanting more flexibility from their camera will find other phones in this price range doing a better job. It works for everyday use, just do not expect it to impress.

Battery and Connectivity
The 7,200mAh battery is honestly the biggest reason anyone would consider the Vivo Y31d in Nepal. Vivo claims it can last around 45 hours of video playback and over 13 hours of MOBA gaming on a single charge. For someone who uses their phone heavily throughout the day, getting through two full days without charging is a real convenience. Charging is supported at 44W, which brings the battery from one percent to fifty percent in around 43 minutes. The phone also supports Bypass Charging and 6W reverse charging.
Connectivity includes dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, USB-C port, and dual nano-SIM support for 4G networks.

Vivo Y31d Price and Availability in Nepal
This is where most people will have second thoughts. The Vivo Y31d price in Nepal has gone up quite a bit after the recent hike. Here is how the pricing looks now compared to before:
| Vivo Y31d | Price in Nepal (Old) | Price in Nepal (New) |
|---|---|---|
| 6/128GB | NPR 29,499 | NPR 37,999 |
| 8/128GB | NPR 33,999 | NPR 43,999 |
| 8/256GB | NPR 38,999 | NPR 51,999 |
Paying close to NPR 38,000 for a phone with an HD+ LCD screen and no 5G support is a tough ask in 2026. The phone is available at mobile retail stores and online shopping platforms across Nepal. Vivo is offering a one-time screen breakage replacement and one-time water damage protection as added benefits, both valid for six months from purchase.
Conclusion
The Vivo Y31d has one area where it clearly wins and that is battery life. A 7,200mAh cell lasting two days is genuinely useful for people who are always on their phones. But after the price hike, the LCD screen, the 4G-only chip, and the basic camera setup are things other phones in Nepal handle better without asking for this much money. Worth checking out a few other options before making a final call.
