Vivo Y20

Vivo produces a lot of options that are affordable with all the features one would need for most tasks in the digital space. The Vivo Y20 is one such option. The design for this device is similar to most smartphones of the era, with simple lines and a minimal design that is all about function.

This brand also belongs to the same family as OnePlue, Realme and Oppo; all of whom are owned by BBK Electronics.

Vivo Y20 internals and OS

Vivo gave the Y20 a Snapdragon 460 from Qualcomm, a processor that was built using the 11nm method. It is an octa-core with 4 cores at a clock speed of 1.8 GHz and another 4 at 1.6 GHz. Fused onto this is the GPU, Adreno 610 which helps take off some load from the main processor. This GPU allows for mid-level gaming with ease, so in case you want an affordable device that can aid your gaming journey the Vivo Y20 could work for you. This can also be done as there is 4GB of RAM.

The storage space is at 64GB and you can add on a memory card that can give you 256GB more to make use of. This would cover most of your storage needs.

The OS is based on Android 10, with the FunTouch OS 10.5 layered on top. Android 10 has Machine Learning which allows for the device to pace up its performance in regard to individual users. This helps the smartphone become a lot more optimised and lean in performance. The FunTouch 10.5 layer makes it a lot easier to customise small details about your device so it can be personally set up.

Display and camera

With a 6.51 inch display, the Vivo Y20 has a more than decent-sized screen. The resolution is 720 x 1600 pixels which bring the pixel density to 270 pixels per inch. These specs combined with the fact that this is an LCD display makes for a good viewing experience that is clear.

As for the cameras, the main module has a triple-lens setup. The main sensor is at 13MP with the other two both at 2MP. The latter two are for depth sensing and to shoot macro. This lets one make use of multiple modes to add to their photography. On the front, you find an 8MP camera for selfies. Both sides can shoot video at 1080p and with a frame rate of 30fps. There are also shooting modes such as HDR and pano.

Connectivity, sensors and battery

To be able to make use of all the various services and functions, the Vivo Y20 has WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, FM Radio and Data abilities. For physical porting there is a microUSB 2.0 and also a 3.5mm audio jack. The sensors included are an accelerometer and a proximity sensor. There is also a fingerprint reader mounted on the side for quick unlocking.

Packed with a large 5000mAh battery, that is based on Li-Polymer technology. This lets the device be super slim as Li-Polymer can be made into a slimmer form factor.

Comments

The Vivo Y20 is available for a mid-range price, with different colour options that one can choose from. The options are Obsidian Black and Dawn White. This device also features DualSIM a very common feature today, making it easier to have one device with two numbers running simultaneously.
