Introduction
The vivo V20 is the company's most recent attempt at making a sensible mid-range smartphone. In the past, it was the higher pricing that kept us from recommending vivo's previous budget phones. But this time around, the V20 seems to be adequately priced while going for a different market positioning that helps it stand out.
The vivo V20 doesn't particularly impress with over-the-top specs, except that it has an AMOLED display, fast charging, and a good chipset. Its true strength, however, comes when you hold the phone. The handset is a true fashion statement with an unusual yet clean and premium design. Even the camera bump looks a lot different from most phones out there.

But if you are not in for the fashion, the vivo V20 will have a hard time convincing you when you have similarly-priced alternatives from the likes of Xiaomi, Realme, and even Samsung. The former two are usually the ones you'd expect to offer the best bang for the buck, especially in India, where the vivo V20 is aimed at.
Still, in times where Android smartphones are constantly getting bigger, the lightweight, thin and compact vivo V20 might win those of you who are after a more compact device. Has vivo really found a niche in this particular price segment, and is the design its primary selling point? We'll try to find out in this review.
Unboxing the vivo V20
The device comes in a full retail box carrying not only the usual user manuals but also a protective, transparent silicone case to show off that good-looking chassis. There's also a pair of 3.5mm earphones as a bonus, and they look strikingly similar to Apple's good old EarPods. And, of course, there's the bundled 33W FlashCharge charger and the USB-A to USB-C cable for charging and data transfer.
Design and ergonomics
As we already pointed out, the vivo V20's key selling point is the design and compactness. Tipping the scale at 171 grams and measuring at just 7.4mm thickness, the handset is a breath of fresh air in a sea of behemoth Android smartphones.
The screen isn't exactly small, though, with a 6.44-inch diagonal, but the rather tall 20:9 aspect ratio slims down the device just enough so it doesn't feel like a cutting board in your hand. Using the device with only one hand is possible even for users with smaller than average hands.
It's not curved like most phones nowadays. Instead, it's completely flat with the edges ever so slightly curved just to make the transition between the glass and the side frame seamless.
The frosted back glass feels premium, it's also less slippery than a glossy surface and the Midnight Jazz color makes the smudges less visible. The company is advertising a special anti-smearing coating on the back, which seems to be getting the job done to some degree.
The camera module looks stand out, too. The whole bump is thick enough to cause the phone to wobble when you place it on a flat surface, but it does lool the part, we'd give it that.
The only curved element is the side frame. The material is not advertised, so we suspect it's plastic. Nevertheless, you can't really tell by touching it, and the glossy color finish blends perfectly with the overall looks. It certainly doesn't feel cheap.
Looking at the bottom, we find a 3.5m audio jack, the loudspeaker grille, and, of course, the USB-C connector. The SIM card tray is positioned on the left side of the frame while the right accommodates the volume rocker and the power button. The latter is textured, so you'd always know what you are pressing, and it's conveniently placed at the right height.
Expectedly, the front is also made of glass, but not Gorilla Glass. The panel is completely flat. It has razor-thin side bezels, a rather thick chin, and a thin top one with a waterdrop-styled notch. That's a rare find nowadays as most manufacturers are doing punch-hole designs even on their budget models.
What caught our attention, though, is the grille for the earpiece. It's quite big and gives the impression of housing a proper loudspeaker. This isn't the case, though, as the V20 doesn't have stereo loudspeakers. Just the bottom-firing one.
All in all, the V20 is definitely one of the best-looking devices in its price range. It also has that distinctive, unique look that makes it stand out from the crowd. The thin chassis, lightweight design, and premium-looking build feel like a breath of fresh air.
Bright OLED on a budget
The vivo V20 features an AMOLED display, and although the price may suggest that it's a budget OLED, the results from our tests indicate that vivo hasn't cut any corners in this regard. Sure, there's no high-refresh-rate support, but we don't expect it at this price point. Standing rather tall with a 20:9 aspect ratio, the resolution is 1080 x 2400px, fitting in a screen with a diagonal of 6.44 inches.
With a manually maxed-out slider, the display can reach 438 nits, but the panel can boost up to 620 nits in Auto mode when exposed under direct sunlight. That's not too shabby for an AMOLED. It ensures a comfortable viewing experience even on a bright sunny day.

Color accuracy out of the box is rather acceptable at 5.1 average dE2000 in Standard (default) color preset. If maximum color accuracy is what you are after, the so-called Pro mode will give you an impressively low average dE2000 of 1.8. In this mode, the panel produces colors that are practically indistinguishable from the real ones unless you use lab equipment.
Battery life
When we first saw vivo V20battery capacity of 4,000 mAh, we weren't very hopeful that battery life will be great.
The tests proved us wrong, and we are surprised to see such excellent runtimes. Perhaps the software optimization did the trick this time around, with the help of Android 11 and the near-stock UI.
We were particularly impressed by the low standby power draw and the 3G talk time. The video playback test also returned an excellent result, while the web browsing duration seems to be pretty much on par with other phones running off a 4,000 mAh battery.
Our battery tests were automated thanks to SmartViser, using its viSer App. The endurance rating above denotes how long a single battery charge will last you if you use the vivo V20 for an hour each of telephony, web browsing, and video playback daily. We've established this usage pattern so that our battery results are comparable across devices in the most common day-to-day tasks. The battery testing procedure is described in detail in case you're interested in the nitty-gritty. You can check out our complete battery test table, where you can see how all of the smartphones we've tested will compare under your own typical use.
Charging speed
The handset employs a 33W FlashCharge, which is possible with the bundled charger. The phone can charge in full for just under an hour, while a 30-minute charging would give you 66% of the battery's charge. This gives the phone a slight edge over the competition in this regard and surprisingly beating the OnePlus Nord as well, even if it's by a couple of minutes. Also, both handsets have similar batteries.

Speaker Test
Since there's just one bottom-firing loudspeaker, the vivo V20 doesn't really impress with sound quality and loudness, for that matter. Vocals are clear, but the lack of mids and lows makes every song sound flat. There's no bass whatsoever. When you crank up the volume, you can hear some distortion creeping in, mostly in the highs.
Use the Playback controls to listen to the phone sample recordings (best use headphones). We measure the average loudness of the speakers in LUFS. A lower absolute value means a louder sound. A look at the frequency response chart will tell you how far off the ideal "0db" flat line is the reproduction of the bass, treble, and mid frequencies. You can add more phones to compare how they differ. The scores and ratings are not comparable with our older loudspeaker test. Learn more about how we test here.
Audio output quality
We've recently discontinued our audio output quality test.
The reason for that is most phones that arrived for testing were already excellent in this regard. Whatever difference there was, it was marginal and probably indistinguishable to anything but our lab equipment.
Android 11 + Funtouch 11
The vivo V20 is one of the first devices to ship with Android 11 out of the box, and it also carries vivo's latest Funtouch OS 11. Unlike the previous iterations of the OS, Funtouch 11 looks and feels like stock Android. We have the standard app drawer at hand, close-to stock recent apps menu, and a notification shade with the usual circular quick toggles.
Since the phone's software is based on Android 11, it offers the Android 11-intrinsic features. For instance, the notifications are now grouped, so your friends' notifications won't get lost in the clutter. In case you've missed anything, there's detailed notification history.
Home screen, recent apps, notification shade and notification history
Other notable Android 11 features include Bubbles (a Messenger-like char heads, which aren't widely supported yet), better permission handling (which was an issue with Funtouch in general), built-in screen recorder, and the power menu has been completely overhauled. Once you hold down the power button, along with the three usual buttons like Emergency calling, Power off, and Restart, there's also the Device controls button - quick and easy access to your home automation and smart devices. What we found a bit annoying, though, is that you should hold down the power button too long before the menu appears.
In case you want to learn about the tidbits regarding Android 11, read our Android 11 review.
Now that we've got the Android 11-specific features out of the way, let's take a look at what Funtouch 11 has to offer. Interestingly enough, we found that most options concern aspects of the UI appearance. You can change the font, mess with the themes, and choose between a handful of Always-on display styles. The Dynamic effects menu lets you change the system animations and effects.
General settings and Always-on display options
The Ambient light effect, for example, lights up the edges of the display for notifications, calls and even lets you choose which apps to trigger the effect. It's not something we haven't seen before - Samsung, OnePlus, and Xiaomi do that, but vivo takes it one step further and lets you choose not only the style but also the duration of the ambient light effect. You can turn this into a substitute for notification LED.
Dynamic light effects
The fingerprint reader is definitely one of the accurate ones, yet not the fastest. We suspect that the chipset is to blame because it takes almost a second for the screen to unlock after the fingerprint is recognized. We can't go as far as saying it ruins the whole unlocking experience, but we feel that there's some room for improvement.
All in all, we really liked the new Funtouch 11, and it signals a rapid change in how the company is looking at the OS. Going for the more vanilla aesthetics and user experience, vivo might win over more fans in its markets outside China. We were even surprised by the small amount of pre-installed apps on the device. And performance-wise, Funtouch 11 feels smooth and responsive, so no complaints there too.
Performance
The vivo V20 is based on the Snapdragon 720G platform, which in turn is based on the 8nm manufacturing process. It's not the most recent SoC, but it does hold pretty well in 2020 and gets the job done. It uses an octa-core CPU with two core clusters - 2x 2.3GHz Kryo 465 Gold cores and 6x 1.8GHz Kryo 465 Silver cores. An Adreno 618 GPU takes care of the graphically-intensive tasks.
And even though most of its competitors offer greater raw performance, as you can see from the charts below, the vivo V20 manages to outgun them in the memory department. The base memory configuration starts at 8GB/128GB and goes up to 8GB/256GB. That's twice as much as the rivals have to offer.

The Snapdragon 720G is a competent, fully capable chipset, but it's no match against OnePlus Nord's Snapdragon 765G, let alone Realme X3 SuperZoom's Snapdragon 855+ chip.
64MP main camera plus an ultra-wide
The handset uses a 64MP main sensor coupled with f/1.9 aperture. The sensor size is 1/1.72," and it has 0.8µm pixels. As you might have guessed, the sensor supports native 4-to-1 pixel binning, so stills come out in 16MP resolution.
On the other hand, the ultra-wide camera is less impressive with just 8MP resolution, f/2.2 aperture, 1/4.0" sensor size, and 1.12µm pixels. Its focal length is 16mm (in 35mm equivalent), which translates into a 120-degree field-of-view. Interestingly enough, this camera has autofocus. The third camera is just a 2MP depth sensor used for portrait shots.
On the front, we have a 44MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture and, more importantly, autofocus. This should ensure sharper selfies.
Camera menus
Despite having the newest Funtouch OS, the default camera's menu is still somewhat confusing. Sure, the main modes can be switched by swiping left and right, but in the main Photo mode, there's no separate toggle for the ultra-wide camera. Instead, you have just the 2x zoom toggle. To switch to the ultra-wide, you'd have to tap on the Lens icon in the viewfinder and then select it.
Camera app
The additional settings don't offer anything out of the ordinary except that you can get help from the software to frame your portraits, and the AI scene recognition is turned off. Interestingly, the 1080p mode allows you to choose between 30 and 50fps. Choosing the 50fps options says that the software will adapt to the current scenario, whatever that means.
Additional camera settings
Daylight samples
Main camera
The primary camera takes nice daylight photos. They have natural looking details without any oversharpening. Colors are nicely saturated, and there is hardly any noise unless you are looking from really close.
The contrast is good, and the Auto HDR seems pretty competent.
Main camera daylight samples
2x zoom
Since the 2x zoom mode is an upscaled to 16MP crop from the main camera, the flaws that can go under the radar in the normal mode become more apparent here. Sharpness and the level of detail is underwhelming. Otherwise, you can expect pretty much the same processing behavior as the non-zoomed main camera.
2x zoom daylight samples
Ultra-wide camera
The ultra-wide camera's performance is rather disappointing even with good lighting. Images look soft with no fine detail, noise can be observed on homogeneous backgrounds, and color fringing towards the picture's edges are easily visible. The only sharp subjects are the ones really close to the camera. Notice how different the grass looks the further it gets from the camera. However, most of the issues above are pretty common for ultra-wide cameras in this segment.
Ultra-wide daylight samples
On a more positive note, the dynamic range seems pretty wide enough and offers excellent highlights/shadows balance even when the sun is shining directly into the camera. The lens correction algorithm is also doing a good job.
Low-light samples
Main camera
The low-light samples look surprisingly good offering wide dynamic range, a good amount of fine detail, although still being a bit on the soft side. The noise suppression algorithm acts up in some dark parts of the image, smearing the detail. Zoom in on the dark facade of the building in the second scene. In return, you get mostly noise-free images, however.
Low-light main camera samples
The light sources look well-processed most of the time, suggesting that there's some competent HDR working in the background. Colors are accurate, contrast is good, and the color temperature is on point.
Night mode
The changes that the dedicated Night mode introduces are relatively subtle. Looking more closely, you'd notice that it clears up the image from fine grain while preserving the detail. There are some strange artifacts in the sky when the Night mode brightens up the image. As a result, the shadows are a bit brighter - barely noticeable, to be honest. The clipped highlights are gone with the Night mode, too.
Night mode main camera samples
Strangely, there's no additional sharpening after the Night mode's stacking, which is a missed opportunity in our opinion. These shots can definitely benefit from a pinch of sharpening. That's why we think that if you like to look at your albums on the TV or a large PC monitor, the Night mode does make sense. But if the images are going to be used mostly for social media, then skipping the wait time of the Night mode makes sense. It takes a couple of seconds to take the shot and then another few seconds to process the photo.
There are some additional color filters to the Night mode, which is a fairly new thing. Vivo is probably the only OEM doing that. The results are pretty cool. With the right lighting and subjects, you can produce some cyberpunk-inspired and Gotham City-like looking snaps.
Night mode filters
Ultra-wide camera
The performance of the ultra-wide camera isn't particularly impressive during the day, so our expectations at night weren't high, to begin with. They are soft, lack detail, highlights are blown, and the images look as if they are out of focus most of the time. The noise suppression algorithm is doing overtime and smears most of the fine detail on the buildings.
Low-light ultra-wide camera samples
Turning the Night mode on will greatly improve the overall quality by balancing the highlights and light sources, brightening up the shadows, adding a little bit of sharpening, and introducing a lot more detail. If you are using the low-light, ultra-wide photos for social media, the Night mode may sometimes make the photos usable. Just don't expect miracles.
Night mode ultra-wide camera samples
Macro samples
Since the phone doesn't have a dedicated macro camera, we would skip this section. However, we took a couple to serve as an example of how manufacturers should be approaching macro photography in general. The V20 uses its ultra-wide shooter for macro shots, which means that the focusing distance isn't that close for a decent macro photo. Nonetheless, a couple of other benefits make this phone better in macro photography than the vast majority of phones in this price range, and we appreciate the autofocus bit on the ultra-wide snapper.
Macro samples
The main sensor can capture a lot more light, has higher resolution, and offers autofocus. All of these components are crucial for a nice macro shot. Even if you crop a little further after taking a photo, you will get a really good close-up shot. There's obviously some additional sharpening when shooting in this mode, but it makes the pictures look better.

Portraits
Portrait shots are sufficiently detailed and sharp with natural-looking skin tone despite the colors being a bit boosted. Grain and softness start to creep in sub-optimal lighting, but the subject's face is always well-exposed. The dynamic range is also pretty good. Believe it or not, the fourth scene had awful lighting, so might notice the drop in sharpness and the slightly different exposure. The subject's face remained a priority for the exposure metering.
Portrait samp.les
The edge detection is convincing and makes mistakes only with complex background and foreground. Take a closer look at the plant in the fourth photo.
Selfies
The selfie camera is advertised as 44MP, but the actual images come out with 40MP resolution. Regardless, they look rather sharp with plenty of detail. Colors look natural too. Unfortunately, the overall image quality deteriorates fast as the light drops.
Selfie samples
The edge detection is once again doing a good job, and the selfie portraits are quite convincing.
Portrait selfie samples
Video
The vivo V20 is capable of 4K recording at 30 frames per second, but the ultra-wide camera can only do 1080p videos. An additional Ultra Steady mode mimics an action cam's stabilization, but this mode is locked to 1080p@50fps.
Let's see the 2160p footage first. It seems to be a pretty good one too. Sharpness is pretty much what you'd expect at this price range. The detail is okay, the contrast is good, and there's no noise in sight. Dynamic range is also pretty wide, but you may notice that some of the white buildings and cars look clipped. We suspect that it's because the V20 tends to go for a brighter exposure, so the shadows under the trees keep some of the detail. What we liked the most, however, is the accurate and natural-looking color reproduction.
Switching over to the ultra-wide camera will limit your video recording resolution to 1080p. And even for a Full HD video, it seems a bit too soft. Fine detail is smeared, dynamic range isn't as wide as on the main camera. Highlights look even more blown while black cars and other black subjects look way too black.
And as for the Ultra Steady mode, it uses the main sensor and crops out of the center to stabilize the image. The result is excellent despite the extreme cropping.
Here's a Full HD video with just the standard EIS so you can see the difference.
Alternatives
Since the vivo V20 still has limited regional availability, we only have limited pricing info. In India, for instance, the V20 goes for INR 24,990 and meets competitors from Realme, Samsung, and even OnePlus.
The first phone to spring to mind for around the INR 25,000 is the OnePlus Nord. The handset offers similar specs at first glance, but the devil is in the details. The Nord gets you a 90Hz refresh rate on the same 6.44-inch OLED screen. It also has a glass build but boasts Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back. Battery life is good, but the V20 edges out with a slightly better overall battery score while falling behind in charging speed. The V20 will offer more RAM and more storage for the same price. But what would tip the scales more decisively is Nord's superior chipset - Snapdragon 765G.
OnePlus Nord • Samsung Galaxy A51 • Realme X3 SuperZoom
Samsung's Galaxy A51 is another similarly-priced option that is currently discounted in India. As always, Samsung's mid-rangers are often standing out from the competition with Super AMOLED screens, but the V20 seems to have matched Samsung on this one. Moreover, the vivo's contender has the better chipset, twice the RAM, twice the storage, faster charging, and superior battery endurance. However, the more mature One UI 2.5, the better overall camera performance, and the brand recognition factor are what may sway some buyers. It's also a bit less expensive, currently asking INR 22,999.
The Realme X3 SuperZoom is a rare find in the INR 25,000 segment, mainly because of its powerful Snapdragon 855+ chipset. It was last year's Qualcomm flagship SoC, after all. The camera quality might not be as convincing, but it sure is versatile. Telephoto cameras are a rarity in this segment, let alone 5x telephoto snappers. Battery life and charging are impressive but don't deliver the same image quality as the vivo V20. The latter has a superior OLED panel with higher brightness too, so don't be fooled by the rather quirky, as we found in our review, high-refresh-rate behavior.
Verdict
As you can see, specs-wise, the V20 falls short of matching some of its competitors. Yet, it's not a bad phone either. Putting together a well-performing chipset with an excellent display, big enough battery, and a stylish, compact chassis is no easy task. Vivo was able to do that with the V20, it's just that mid-range competition is cut-throat.
For what it was made for, the vivo V20 fills a nice niche. It impresses with sleek design, compactness and comes with twice the storage and RAM of its competitors. And it doesn't skip the microSD card slot and the 3.5mm jack too. Still, there's no denying the fact that this phone isn't the best value out there. It's close, but no cigar.
Pros
- Sleek and stylish design, compact dimensions
- Bright and well-calibrated OLED display
- Good battery life and competitive fast charging
- 8GB/128GB base memory configuration
- Mostly dependable main camera performance
- Funtouch 11 based on Android 11 feels a lot better than previous iterations
Cons
- Disappointing ultra-wide camera performance
- Performance not as powerful as its competitors'
