Vivo V20 review
The Vivo V20 has a 44-megapixel selfie camera with Eye Autofocus HIGHLIGHTS Vivo V20 starts at Rs. 24,990 in India It runs Funtouch OS 11 on top of Android 11 It packs a 4,000mAh battery and comes with a 33W FlashCharge charger In the quest for better battery life, smartphones have become big and bulky. While some people are fine with this trade-off for better battery life, others still like having choices. If you are among the latter, Vivo now has an option for you in the form of the Vivo V20. With a strong focus on design, Vivo claims to have shrunk internal components and used a high-density battery to shave off a few millimeters. This has resulted in the V20 measuring just 7.38mm in thickness. Has this focus on design caused Vivo to cut corners elsewhere? I put the Vivo V20 through all our usual tests to find out. Vivo V20 design: Stands out Vivo’s focus on design with this phone is quite evident. The Vivo V20 is eye-catching and will appeal to those who value design. It is slim and has rounded corners making it comfortable to hold. You get a 6.44-inch AMOLED display with a 20:9 aspect ratio and full-HD+ resolution. It has thin borders which add to the overall aesthetics. Vivo has gone with a dewdrop notch on the V20, which is a little surprising because the Vivo V17 (Review) and the Vivo V19 (Review) both sport hole-punch displays. You do get an in-display fingerprint scanner just like with the older models. Pick the V20 up and you will notice that the frame is made out of plastic. The power and volume buttons are well positioned and offer good feedback. To distinguish the power button easily, Vivo has given it a texture. You get a 3.5mm headphone jack at the bottom along with a USB Type-C port and a loudspeaker. The Vivo V20 weighs 171g and is 7.38mm in thickness. It’s available in three colour variants: Moonlight Sonata, Midnight Jazz, and Sunset Melody. I had the Sunset Melody version, which has a colourful gradient finish, for this review. This particular variant is 1g heavier and measures 7.48mm in thickness. The back panel has been made out of glass and has a matte finish which helps keep fingerprints off the device. However, I found the Vivo V20 to be a bit slippery so I had to reluctantly put the included plastic case on to keep the device safe from accidental drops The camera module on the Vivo V20 is very similar to the one on the more expensive Vivo X50. The stepped design gives it a premium look. Vivo has packed in a 4,000mAh battery which is small compared to the one in the Vivo V19. You also get a 33W FlashCharge charger bundled in the box for quick charging. Vivo V20 specifications and software: Modest hardware The specifications of the Vivo V20 are quite modest. You have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G SoC running the show here, coupled with 8GB of RAM. This is not the most powerful processor that you’ll find in the market in this price segment, but with 8GB of RAM, performance should not be an issue. There are two storage variants on offer, the base variant with 128GB of storage priced at Rs. 24,990, and the higher one with 256GB of storage which costs Rs. 27,990. I had the latter for this review. The Vivo V20 is among the very few phones to run Android 11 out of the box as of now. It is running Vivo’s custom FunTouch OS 11 on top of Google’s operating system. The V20 was running the September security patch which is fairly recent. I found the UI easy to use and did not face any issues. This phone does come with some bloatware preinstalled, such as Facebook and V-Appstore, an alternative to the Google Play Store. You get three navigation buttons by default but you can switch to gesture-based navigation. You can also change various animations in the UI. The V20 lockscreen pulls different images from the Internet by default. You can shortlist categories or even disable this entirely if required. I did not encounter any spammy notifications during the review period. Vivo V20 performance: Adequate The Vivo V20 has a crisp AMOLED display that’s very good for watching videos on. Viewing angles are good, and the panel gets bright enough when outdoors. It isn’t a high-refresh-rate panel though. You can tweak the colour mode of the display and even set the colour temperature based on your preference. I could game and multitask quite easily with the Vivo V20 without any lag or stutter. The in-display fingerprint scanner as well as face recognition were quick to unlock the V20. The V20 managed to surprise me with its benchmark scores. In AnTuTu it returned 2,82,525 points which is higher than what the Samsung Galaxy M51₹ 22,499 (Review) managed. In PCMark’s Work 2.0 test, the Vivo V20 returned 7,497 points. The V20 also managed 27fps and 60fps in GFXBench’s Manhattan 3.1 and T-Rex benchmarks respectively.
