Thai tech companies are making waves with fresh releases and exciting updates! Recently, the spotlight was on the launch of the vivo Y04 smartphone and Apple's announcement about refurbished iMac M4 computers. These developments are poised to attract tech lovers and budget-conscious consumers alike.

The vivo Y04, aimed at entry-level users, features some impressive specs for its price. It boasts a large 6.74-inch IPS-LCD display with HD+ resolution and can reach refresh rates of up to 90Hz. With brightness levels hitting 570nits, it promises vibrant visuals, even under sunlight.

Under the hood, the Y04 runs on the UNISOC T612 chipset, supporting 4G connectivity only. It is worth noting, likely to capture the attention of users seeking budget options, this smartphone includes dual rear cameras with 13MP primary and VGA auxiliary lenses, paired with a 5MP front-facing camera.

Powering the device is a generous 5500mAh battery, supporting 15W fast charging, ensuring users won’t find themselves searching for outlets frequently. Adding to its value proposition, the smartphone meets the IP64 standard for dust and water resistance, presenting durability for everyday use.

Initially launched in Egypt, the vivo Y04 is available in two attractive colors, Dark Green and Titanium Gold. While the price remains to be officially announced, estimates suggest it may cost under 5,000 THB, making it accessible for many customers.

Transitioning over to Apple, the tech giant has begun offering refurbished iMac M4 models, marking the first time these products are available since their launch last October. Available through certified retailers across the U.S., Canada, the U.K. and more, the refurbished models aim to deliver similar specifications and performance to brand new devices but at reduced prices.

The iMac M4 line will reportedly carry discounts of around 15% compared to their new counterparts. With prices starting at $1,099, these refurbished iMacs are positioned as attractive options for customers who want powerful computing without breaking the bank.

Included with the iMac M4 is everything users need from the get-go, including the Magic Keyboard, Magic Mouse, USB-C adapter, USB-C cable, and power cord. Despite being refurbished, Apple has taken significant care in their refurbishment process involving rigorous full functionality tests, thorough cleaning, and inspections.

"iMac M4 will be discounted approximately 15% compared to the brand new products available today," said Apple representatives when speaking about the rebooted offerings. This pricing strategy showcases Apple's recognition of market demand for reliable refurbished products.

Along with the competitive pricing, Apple backs up these refurbished models with Apple’s limited one-year warranty and eligibility for extended AppleCare+ support. This ensures buyers feel confident they’re making a sound investment.

With these developments, the Thai tech market gains refreshing dynamics as companies like vivo seek to provide affordable gadgets for consumers, and established players like Apple cater to the growing audience of cost-conscious customers eager for high-quality tech.

Both the vivo Y04 and Apple’s refurbished iMac M4 exemplify how the tech industry can adapt and thrive by listening to market demands. These products not only meet the desires of consumers but can also pave the way for future advancements and releases as companies strive to stay competitive.

Overall, these releases reveal exciting trends and shifts shaped by strategic decisions within the tech community, marking the start of promising incoming months for technology enthusiasts.
