Vivo U20 User Reviews

Worth the money 5.0 stars
Good phone in 10k range.
Fast charging,look and many other features are awesome.
Camera is little bit average but better than redmi note 5 pro.
I don't know why people are giving 1 or 2,3 star.

Mixed Bag 3.0 stars
Plenty has already been spoken about hardware and specs so no point getting into that. This is a user centric review

Face and fingerprint unlock is good.

Funtouch OS is childish and cluttered. Lot of settings are provided just for the sake of being 'different' but the overall effect ends up being counter intuitive - for example swiping up for screenshot rather than down. Taking a long screenshot and/ or creating a split screen is unnecessarily complicated with requirement of more taps rather than being a simple affair as in other OS skins. Swiping up for accessing control center shortcuts is an irritant as it sometimes brings up the 'recent apps' screen or the 'docked apps' if using a custom launcher.

The camera UI can do with a complete makeover and as such is rudimentary compared to other mobiles! The only saving grace is that the cam2api is compatible with open camera which bestows more control over the photography. The camera and sensor performance is at par with mobiles of this price point category.

No complaints with the screen, system performance and battery charging/ backup.

Phone self test feature is missing.

The updates (have received one update so far) install without change log information - go figure!!!

A major point of angst is the misleading paid reviews which claimed the Phone has FM radio. However, in actual fact the phone does not ship with the FM radio chip (Also confirmed from the support staff, who - just to mention - were found to be clueless regarding the difference between an internet FM radio and actual terrestrial FM radio. They kept insisting to install any FM app from google play store - Go figure!!!

All in all a mixed bag - some good - rest mostly just hype!!! In my personal opinion, such a mobile is overpriced at this price point even with the deals thrown in. Would probably avoid patronizing Vivo products in future!

I compared Redmi Note 8, Realme 5s and this Vivo U20 which are similarly priced on various factors and finalized Vivo U20. Here is my review on how Vivo U20 fares against its competitors based on my usage and perspective.I bought the racing black color version but it was not like Jet black and rather had a dark blue tone to it and some texture that reflects light.----------------------------? BUILD & DESIGN----------------------------The Redmi Note 8 uses a nice glass back, whereas Vivo U20 and Realme 5s uses a polycarbonate back finish.The realme has a nice crystal design on the back which shines better.Anyways most of us including me will be using the case so the design of the back is not much of importance for me.The Redmi Note 8 uses a P2i nano coating and is supposed to be splash and weather proof which Vivo U20 and Realme 5s don't have anything specified>> Winner: Redmi Note 8 is a bit better in my perspective.-------------------------? DISPLAY-------------------------The Vivo U20 has the best and biggest display with Full HD+ and 6.53", and Redmi Note 8 also sports Full HD+ but Realme 5s has just HD+.The display protection used in this Vivo U20 is Panda Glass MN228 which as per the claim is better than Gorilla glass 5 used in Redmi Note 8. Realme 5s uses only Gorilla glass 3+.>> Winner: Vivo U20-------------------------?️ CPU & GPU-------------------------Vivo U20 uses the latest Snapgragon 675 processor which has better single core and multicore scores than the other 2 phones. To be exact, 504 vs 308,315 in single core and 1638 vs 1306/1371 in multicore in Vivo 20 vs Redmi/Realme.The GPU that comes with SD675 in Vivo U20 is the Adreno 612 which is better than Adreno 610 used in other phones.So gaming performance on Vivo U20 is much better than other 2 phones.>> Winner: Vivo U20-----------------------------------? MEMORY & STORAGE-----------------------------------Vivo U20 uses the UFS 2.1 64GB storage which is much faster than storage used on other 2 phones. This leads to apps opening much quicker, snappy multitasking and smoother app usage. All phones has micro SD expandable storage.Memory wise 4Gb version might not be great for heavy users and I went ahead with the 6Gb version.>> Winner: Vivo U20------------------------------------? BATTERY & CHARGING------------------------------------Vivo U20 sadly uses the MicrUSB like Realme 5s and not Type C in Redmi Note 8. Its 2020 and MicroUSB is not acceptable in my perspective.Vivo U20 has 5000mah battery like Realme 5s, whereas Redmi Note 8 has only 4000mah batter.Vivo U20 uses 18W fast charging like Redmi Note 8, whereas Realme 5s uses only 10W charging.Vivo U20 has the advantage of fast charging and bigger battery but looses on the microusb charging.Redmi Note 8 has the advantage Type C charging and fast charging pun but looses on battery capacity.Realme 5s has the advantage of bigger batter but looses on microusb charging and 10W charging speed. But Realme 5s gives the highest battery life due to its lower resolution HD+ screen which takes lesser power.>> Winner: Realme for longest battery & Vivo U20 for overall.------------------------------------? CAMERA------------------------------------All phones are budget segment so I know I can't expect flagship range photos but all these phones does offer decent camera quality.Redmi Note 8 and Realme 5s uses 48,8,2,2 mp quad camera setup for main, wide, macro and depth, whereas Vivo uses 16,8,2 triple camera setup for main, wide, macro, and does not have the 2mp dedicated depth sensor present on the other 2 phones and uses software for depth sensing.Redmi and Realme uses the Samsung ISOCELL Bright GM1 48mp sensor and Vivo U20 uses the Sony IMX 499 sensor.By default Redmi and Realme does not use the 48mp and has to be set in settings and Vivo always uses 16mp camera settings.All main camera are paired with F1 .8 aperture.Vivo U20 has a 16MP front camera whereas other 2 phones have 13MP.Saturation: In daylight photography, Redmi Note 8 has punchier and ore saturated colors, Realme 5s by default is not punch and when Chroma Boost is used it increases the dynamic range and saturation. Vivo 20 has a more realistic colors. Many of my friends preferred the pics from Redmi.Sharpness: On sharpness and details point of view Vivo U20 performed better, but when 48mp mode is used Realme 5s was on par with Vivo but Redmi Note 8 sharpness was just okay.Portrait: Portrait shots on Redmi Note 8 was better due to better edge detection by dedicated 2mp depth sensor and software processing, next was Realme and Vivo edge detection via software alone wasn't great but overall picture was more detailed in Vivo.Night Shots: Redmi Note 8 has better detailed night photos but its was over shapened so a closed looks lead to more grains.Night Selfie: Vivo U20 has a better low light selfie, followed by Realme 5s. The low light selfie in Redmi Note 8s is miserable in my opinion.>> Winner: In Rear Camera performance Redmi Note 8 was a bit better, In Front Camera performance Vivo 20 was much better.

OVERALL------------------------------------All 3 phones are good and offer decent specs and performance at this price range. But I picked Vivo U20 as it was better than Redmi Note 8 in terms of processor, storage, battery and a bit on camera. Though Vivo lacks feature additional features like FM and IR blaster those are something which I don't use regularly so spending 1k more on Vivo than other phones seems worthy to me. Not the best budget phone but at this price range, I felt Vivo U20 has got a good score in almost all areas and to me its's a budget all-rounder.
