Vivo S20
Design and Build Quality
The Vivo S20 exudes sophistication with its sleek design and premium materials. The thin bezels around the display and the centered punch-hole camera give it a modern aesthetic, while the slight curve at the edges ensures a comfortable grip. At 7.9mm thickness, the phone strikes a balance between a slim profile and housing a large battery. The weight, despite the hefty 6500 mAh Si/C battery, remains lightweight at around 184 grams.
The back of the device features a matte glass finish, which resists fingerprints and gives off a subtle shimmer under light. The dual-camera setup, housed in a rectangular module, protrudes slightly but doesn’t cause significant wobble when placed on flat surfaces. Available in a range of colors, including gray, gold and white, the Vivo S20 caters to both vibrant and understated tastes.
Performance
Powered by the Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 (4 nm) chipset, the Vivo S20 delivers an impressive performance that bridges the gap between mid-range and flagship devices. The CPU features a prime Cortex-X3 core, ensuring snappy responsiveness for demanding applications, while the Adreno 730 GPU provides a smooth gaming experience. Whether you’re multitasking, streaming high-resolution videos, or playing graphically intensive games like Genshin Impact, the S20 handles it all effortlessly.
Memory configurations of 8GB, 12GB, and 16GB RAM further enhance multitasking capabilities, while storage options of 256GB and 512GB ensure ample space for apps, photos, and media. The device also supports olderUFS 2.2 storage.
Display
The 6.67-inch AMOLED display on the Vivo S20 is a true highlight. With a resolution of 1260 x 2800 pixels, the screen offers 460 PPI density, resulting in razor-sharp visuals and vibrant colors. The 120Hz refresh rate makes every swipe and scroll feel buttery smooth, while the HDR10+ support enhances video playback with deeper blacks and richer colors.
Outdoor visibility is excellent, thanks to its peak brightness of 1300 nits, making it easy to use in direct sunlight. The in-display fingerprint sensor is fast and accurate, complementing the overall premium feel of the display.
Camera
The Vivo S20’s camera setup is designed for versatile photography. The dual rear cameras include:
- 50MP primary sensor with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) and an f/1.8 aperture, delivering stunningly detailed shots in various lighting conditions.
- 8MP ultra-wide lens, which captures expansive landscapes and group photos with minimal distortion.
The camera app is intuitive, offering features like Night Mode, Pro Mode, and Portrait Mode. Daylight shots are crisp with accurate colors, while low-light performance benefits from Vivo’s AI processing and OIS, ensuring reduced noise and improved sharpness.
The 50MP front camera is a selfie enthusiast’s dream. It captures fine details, accurate skin tones, and natural bokeh effects. Features like AI Beautification and 4K video recording at 30fps make it perfect for vloggers and social media influencers.
Battery and Software
The Vivo S20 packs a 6500 mAh Silicon-Carbon battery, which sets it apart from many competitors in its category. The advanced battery chemistry ensures not only a longer lifespan but also superior energy density. With moderate use, the device easily lasts up to two days, and even heavy users can expect a full day of battery life.
Charging is equally impressive, thanks to the 90W fast charging support. Vivo claims the device can charge from 0% to 50% in just 20 minutes, and in real-world tests, it lives up to this promise. This makes the Vivo S20 an excellent companion for users constantly on the move.
