Vivo Y30 Standard pros and cons

Vivo Y20 2021 Review, Pros and Cons – The Vivo Y20 series comes with tons of new and impressive smartphones in the mid-budget range. The league’s stars are none other than Vivo Y20 2021 smartphone, which was unveiled in India on January 2021.

But the Vivo Y20 2021 phone has a much glossy finish with the Android 10 configuration, and you won’t be disappointed with the processing in any way. The Y20 2021 also has a huge size battery and decent software. Recently, the company launched another phone called the Vivo 20s. Let’s start a detailed review of the Vivo Y20 2021 smartphone.

Vivo Y20 2021 Review

Highlights

  1. The device combines the 6.51 inched IPS LCD display panel offering a decent amount of pixel density.
  2. Vivo Y20 2021 is powered by the 12 nm Mediatek MT6765 Helio P35 chipset that provides a smooth multitasking experience.
  3. As for the software features, everything depends on the Funtouch 11 UI based on Android 10.
  4. The camera looks a little shallow, as you only get a simple set of triple-camera with a 13 MP main camera.
  5. Still, the battery section gives you hope with its long-lasting Li-Po 5000 mAh sturdy battery.

Design and Display

At first glance, the glossy design makes the polycarbonate body looks like glass. The plastic material used in the Vivo Y20 2021 smartphone seems to be premium in your hands, while you can choose any of the color options from Dawn White and Nubela Blue. If you think it looks elegant, go ahead and select the white color variant.

Each of the variants shines whenever they are placed in front of sunlight. Therefore, it is recommended to use coverage. But if you want to try the natural design and the stains don’t matter to you, in that case, you are free to do it according to your choice.

The fingerprint reader is presented on the side panel while the sockets are very thin, although the chin looks a little bigger according to the 2021 standard. Even so, the IPS LCD panel with 6.51 waterdrop notch inches comes with an impressive viewing experience. Still, I would not consider the fact that you will not get advanced brightness nits or Corning Glass protection.

Memory and Internal

Moving on to the hardware section, you will get to know the 12nm Mediatek Helio P35 chipset. But seriously, why the company is putting this low performance on the phone is still unknown. As you guess Vivo does few things to keep the price low. But, considering the competition, the phone must need at least an 8 nm chipset to stand out in the current market.

Either way, the 2.35 GHz core performance looks good on paper and, in real-life experience, you won’t face any particular problems. But expecting state-of-the-art games would be just an unfinished dream. Even if you try to do this, it will only damage the phone as long as heating problems and lags start to appear.

However, Funtouch 11 offers tons of customization options from which you can create a personalized user experience with Andriod 10 OS at the top. The 64 GB space is available with the 4 GB and 6 GB RAM versions, in addition, you will get a dedicated secondary storage MicroSD card slot to expand the limits.

Camera

The camera aspect of the Vivo Y20 2021 smartphone may not have the best lens or have high-quality software support. Even so, you will only receive simple AI support that helps a little to improve the overall quality of the image and video. In addition, the native camera application offers new features, filters, and modes that allow users to click on their photos or record videos in a different environment.

Although you won’t notice any ultrawide angle lens support instead, the Vivo Y20 2021 arrives with the combination of a 2MP macro lens and a 2MP depth lens. With this setting, you can capture decent portrait and close-up photos. In addition, the 13 MP primary camera achieves dozens of focus and professional mode effects. Except that you will notice distortion and smoothness at times due to the lack of the lens.

On the other hand, you can only go up to 1080p video recording. You should consider Vivo Y20 2021 smartphone, a medium-budget smartphone with some basic features.

Battery and Others

Vivo Y20 2021 phone comes with a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery that can power the system and run for more than 5 hours of screen time without any rest. It is worth mentioning the watch time, as you can be active for more than 7 hours watching movies and surfing the internet. The sales page suggested that it will have a 10W charging block inside the box.

You can buy the Vivo Y20 2021 phone for $160, while in India it cost about Rs 12,000. As per the specifications, the price is a little bit high and it was not worth it in our opinion.

Conclusion

Vivo Y20 2021 smartphone offers adequate but sufficient features, which are required in the low-level smartphone. You should only consider this phone for its battery optimization and its design. In addition, there are no noteworthy things, so it is very difficult to recommend this phone unless you have a limited budget.

The Vivo Y20 2021 is neither a camera phone nor a performance beast, and if you are looking for something better, you should take a look at the Redmi Note 10 smartphone as an alternative. Despite this, I recommend the Realme Narzo 20 Pro, even if this device is a little older, but it’s worth your attention.
