Vivo Y20i Specs Review With a Side Mounted Fingerprint Reader

Vivo launched the Vivo Y20 alongside the Vivo Y20i which is another name for a lite version of any mobile phone. The handset still maintains the same original body design and shares the same features and specs in common. The difference is found on the RAM bringing just 3GB RAM making it cost less than the later.

Design And Display

There is nothing here to talk about. The body is the same as the Vivo Y20. Yes, it features the same combination of glass and plastic even on the frame. It also measures 164.4 x 76.3 x 8.4 mm in dimensions and weighs 192 grams.

It has a waterdrop notch on the front that has a screen size of 6.51 inches with an IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen. The screen has a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, a 20:9 ratio, and 270 PPI density. It reaches 81.6% screen-to-body ratio.

Cameras Features

For photography, there is a triple camera configuration featuring 13 MP main snapper, a 2 MP macro shooter and another 2 MP depth sensor. The camera has LED flash, HDR and there is a front camera of 8 MP. The good news is that both cameras will record the same 1080p@30fps video quality.

Hardware And Software

The budget Vivo phone makes use of a midrange a Qualcomm SM4250 Snapdragon 460 SOC that has an octa-core processor clocking at a speed of 4×1.8 GHz Kryo 240 & 4×1.6 GHz Kryo 240. You will also get an Adreno 610 GPU for graphics and booting the phone is Android 10 operating system with Funtouch 10.5 on top.

Storage Capacity And Sensors

The inbuilt storage remains the same 64GB available on the Y20 just that the RAM has been reduced from 4GB to 3GB RAM which is not that bad as long as the price tag drop. You can still expand the memory if it’s not enough via a micro SDcard. The sensors are still the same Fingerprint (side-mounted), accelerometer, and proximity.

Battery Power And Network Connectivity

As usual, the smartphone packs a massive 5000 mAh battery with fast charging technology. So we free to call the battery one of the phone top selling points. It has a dual SIM and 4G LTE network and other features such as Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot, A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, FM radio and micro USB 2.0, USB On-The-Go.
