Vivo Y20A: Design
The Vivo Y20A is the latest addition to the company’s budget smartphone portfolio in India. The device brings a reflective rear panel with a gradient design. The smartphone has three cameras aligned vertically at the top-left of the back panel. The smartphone features a waterdrop notch design and has slim bezels on the sides. The chin is thick compared to the remaining bezels. The device is equipped with a 6.51-inch display. The LCD panel has a standard HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels. You will be able to stream 720p videos. The panel is big enough for immersive viewing, however, a higher resolution would be missed.
Vivo Y20A: Hardware Performance
The Vivo Y20A uses the Snapdragon 439 processor to handle all the multitasking. The entry-level Qualcomm processor is based on 12nm architecture and clocks over 2.0GHz. The octa-core chipset is paired up with 3GB RAM. The device will come with 64GB onboard storage. However, there is also storage expansion support via a dedicated microSD card slot. The smartphone will be able to perform daily tasks without any hiccups. But, extensive tasks such as high-end gaming wouldn’t be lag-free.
Vivo Y20A: Price To Specs Ratio
Vivo has launched the latest Y series smartphone at Rs. 11,490. It is announced in a single 3GB RAM and 64GB storage configuration. The handset will be available in Dawn White and Nebula Blue shades. The pricing is decent looking at the entire-spec sheet. However, a slightly lower price tag would have been made it a better deal. There are a few devices that retail in Rs. 10,000 price segment that offers a powerful processor.
Vivo Y20A: Camera Performance
Vivo has packed three cameras at the back of the Y20A. The setup has a 13MP primary sensor with an f/2.2 aperture, a 2MP sensor for depth imaging, and another 2MP sensor for macro photography. Both these sensors have an f/2.4 aperture. The imaging setup is sufficient for general photography. The handset will be able to click good photos with ample lighting around. The selfies are clicked by an 8MP camera packed inside the waterdrop notch. The sensor has an f/1.8 aperture and will click decent self-portraits.
Vivo Y20A: Important/ Highlight Features
The Vivo Y20A’s key highlight is its big 5,000 mAh battery unit. It has standard 10W charging support. As per the brand, the device will give a backup of up to 17 hours with HD video playback. The setup is sufficient to drive the unit for an entire day with a single charge. Other features include Android 11 OS and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner for security.
Vivo Y20A: Verdict
The Vivo Y20A lands as a new face in the already crowded budget smartphone segment in India. The company has packed all the necessary features which a budget smartphone should offer. The pricing is decent. However, the company could have kept it slightly on the lower side to make it a perfect deal.

Rating a smartphone is a tedious process and a lot of parameters have to be considered before judging the overall performance of the device such as display, camera, processor, RAM, storage, battery, and the pricing.
So, here are how these specs will affect the real-life usage of a device and why how we meticulously consider each of these points to rate a smartphone.
Cameras have evolved a lot over the last few years and multi-camera setup is a new norm. We consider various parameters like MP count, aperture size, pixel size, image stabilization to rate a camera system of a smartphone out of 5. Any device that scores more than 3.5 can take good photos and videos and if a phone scores over 4, then it will be one of the best camera smartphones in the market.
Though battery seems like an underrated feature and we look at the battery capacity, fast charging supporting technology, and even the wireless charging capability is also taken into consideration to rate smartphone's battery capability.
The display is the face of a smartphone. And there are a lot of parameters like the panel technology (IPS LCD, OLED, TFT) and other parameters also taken into consideration like the resolution, pixel density, and refresh rate.
A smartphone could have great specs, but if it is not priced well then you might not get the best value-for-money. So, we compare a smartphone with the contemporaries to rate the value-for-money of a device out of 5.
This aspect is decided on various sub specifics, such as availability of microSD card slot, the amount of RAM the device offers, processor capability, and the network support. This parameter has more weightage when compared to other departments.
