I was slightly disappointed with the selfie cam in low light conditions, with colours appearing a little muted and listless. But this is a minor criticism for what, overall, is a very decent photography package.

For a mid-tier handset, the Vivo V20 really packs a punch in the camera department – consider that a resounding tick in the photography box!

Processing power

With the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor Vivo has opted for a reliable, steady modem that gets the job done. However, it is not the fastest or most agile chipset on the market and this is where you are taking a slight hit to get this phone in the mid-tier price point.

If you are being super picky, you might notice a slight step down in performance compared to the top tier smartphone handsets, particularly when streaming or gaming. However, the noticeable effect is fairly negligible and shouldn’t be too much of a problem for anyone except the most ardent of gamers or video consumers.

The handset boasts 8GB of RAM and I didn’t encounter any issues while navigating around the phone.

The V20’s operating system, Vivo’s own FunTouch 11, runs on Android 11, and is easily navigable. No complaints at all on that front!

This smartphone offers decent battery life and comes with a 33W fast charger, meaning you can watch videos, play games and surf the web to your heart’s content without fear of rinsing your battery.

Sleek and elegant design

The V20 certainly looks the part, with its pleasing opalescent cover and slim, ergonomic design. It certainly looks as appealing as any of its top-tier rivals. It comes in a range of finishes, the names of which must have sent the marketing department into overdrive: Midnight Jazz (also known as “black”), Sunset Melody (that’s “blue” to you and I) and Moonlight Sonata (which, obviously, means “white”).

The V20 is slim and easy to handle, measuring 161.3mm by 74.2mm. It’s just 7.38mm thick, so it won’t bulk out your pocket and it weighs in at a lean, trim 171 grams.

The V20 has a 6.44-inch AMOLED screen with 2400 x 1080 full high definition capabilities.

In terms of looks and design, the V20 has pretty much everything you could ask for. Despite my quips about the naming of the finishes, the Sunset Melody model that I trialled was a definite beauty, with a pleasing two-tone finish as the light plays across the casing.

The verdict

Vivo’s V20 handset is a more cost effective. If you are looking for a mid-tier handset that provides a good all round list of features at a price that won’t break the bank, this could very well be the phone for you.

The V20’s camera also performed well at night, handling Dubai’s glittering skyline well.

Vivo’s v20 crams loads of great features into a reasonably priced handset – but is it a certified jaw dropper? Find out in our full review…

Vivo’s latest smartphone, the V20, blends stylish design with an ambitious array of features.

The latest iteration in Vivo’s V series squeezes 8GB of RAM, 128GB of ROM, a Snapdragon 720G processor and a 4,000 mAh battery into its sleek design. Undoubtedly, demand for mid-tier smartphone handsets is rocketing and consumers are starting to demand for their money – but does the V20 deliver enough wow factor to convince consumers to part with their hard earned cash?The short answer is yes – but with one or two caveats along the way, which we’ll come back to later in this review.

Vivo has made quite a name for itself in the smartphone handset market, steadily increased its market share from 5 per cent in Q1 2018 to 8 per cent in Q2 2020, shifting an impressive 22.5 million units in the last quarter alone.

So let’s take a look at what the V20 offers you…

Camera

For a lot of people, the camera is the most important feature of their smartphone. Vivo has born this in mind when specing up the V20, using a triple camera setup. The V20 boasts a 64-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel wide-angle camera and a 2-megapixel mono camera. The V20 also offers a 44-megapixel selfie cam.


I took the V20 out for a quick photo tour of my neighbourhood over the weekend and was pleasantly surprised with the results. The colour saturation levels from the main camera really make your photos pop in bright daylight conditions.

So I happen to be the most useless person on the planet.
I'm in my 30s, I keep getting entry level jobs working for peanuts and despite my hard work I am never appreciated and they are always happy when I leave(its happened 4 times already),I have never had a girlfriend, dont know how to even get a girlfriend,last year was the first time ever I tried shooting my shot and that ended HORRIBLY
Of course I have no money, still live with my mom, I dont have any friends, no one takes me seriously, i have zero business sense(I've tried three businesses that I marketed the hell out of and till today I made literally no sale)

Then of course let's talk about me:
-i am extremely shy
-i am a weakling people walk all over me and I have no idea how to stand up for myself and when I do I'm always put in my place cause basically I dont deserve better
-i have zero confidence, I mean my inferiority complex has it's own zip code
-i have zero social skills
-i have a horrible attn span
-zero charisma
- no proactive bone in my body
- o yea I am lazy too I forgot to add that
-i have a lot of baggage and no idea how to let go
-i never see anything through
-i never take anything seriously no matter how hard I try
I have tried to change all these and watched a ton of YouTube videos on how to improve but my laziness and negativity just get in the way

Lately I have been engaging in a lot of self destructive behaviours like eating my feelings, masturbating and internet trolling(altho I've stopped this one, it's not their fault I'm a loser)

The heart breaking part is that I am rubbing off on my kid sister who looks up to me

So I purchased a bottle of sniper which I will be ingesting soon (at this point suicide will be a favour to the world) but wanna just ask

Is there anyone else like me? just curious

let me know wen u commit suicide me too am thinking of it

Nigerians dey learn betting

n d reason for the killing is?
