2-minute Review [Positives]	Stylish, slick, premium looks (looks more expensive than it is), good build quality The rear camera module has a copper accent on the edges, which further adds to the premium-ness The front is modern with a 6.53-inch FHD+ IPS display with a dewdrop notch, and minimal bezels Both the fingerprint scanner, and face unlock are quick The IPS display is crisp, and boasts good legibility and viewing angles Very good performance for the price category with a powerful Snapdragon 675 at the core - it delivers smooth performance not just in daily use, but high-end games like PUBG Decent triple-camera setup at the back: 16-megapixel primary lens + 8-super-wide-angle lens + 2-megapixel super macro lens - in good lighting conditions, the images shot offer good exposure as well as good color production Fast focus speed Good portrait mode - blurs the background quite well and gives you good bokeh effect Good 16-megapixel front facing camera - works well in both day-light and low-light conditions, and has a good portrait mode too Overall, the camera setup on the U20 is pretty decent for the price bracket (but not the best) Excellent battery life with a large 5000mAh battery - you should get a comfortable 2 days of use Fast charging support (18W) - you can recharge your phone's battery in about two-and-half hours If you value performance, battery and design in your phone, the the U20 is another excellent option from Vivo, after its popular predecessor, the U10 - the only area where it lags a little behind the competition from Xiaomi and Realme is the cameras	Attractive, eye-catching glossy plastic rear panel with a beautiful multi-coloured gradient finish, that catches the light as you tilt the phone around The front is sharp and modern with a 6.54-inch Full HD+ display, thin bezels, and a punch-hole camera on the top-left corner of the display On the whole, the Z1 Pro is arguably the best designed phone of this price segment Has a handy dedicated Google Assistant button Large, sharp Full HD+ display, with good viewing angles, and sunlight legibility - you get an immersive experience while watching videos, playing games and consuming other multimedia content on it Vivo's Funtouch OS UI is fairly feature packed, and aesthetically is similar to iOS There is also now a ‘Dark Mode’ feature that turns almost all the popular apps dark The Vivo Z1 Pro also has a gaming assistant and mode rolled into one called Game Cube - it offers functions like blocking background calls, blocking notifications, reject calls during gaming, turning on Esports Mode and other things Excellent, class-leading performance with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor - you will get snappy performance all-round, and even high-end games will run effortlessly in their 'high graphics' settings The smartphone also has good temperature control, so even with long times of gaming, there isn't much heating up Good set of triple rear cameras (16-megapixel primary camera + 8-megapixel ultra-wide camera + 2-megapixel depth sensor) You get some pretty detailed photos in most lighting conditions - the color reproduction and balancing is quite accurate as well On the front, it comes with a excellent 32-megapixel snapper, which again does very well with details Overall, this is a good camera setup for the price bracket, and only a bit behind the top cameras of the Redmi Note 7 Pro, and the Realme 3 Pro Excellent battery life, with a huge 5000mAh battery - you will get a comfortable 2 days even with heavier use Fast charging support - the device goes from 0 to 100% in 2 hours - which is pretty decent for the battery size The Z1 Pro looks like a smart winner from the Vivo camp, with hardly any flaws, and an excellent performance to price ratio - if you value performance in a phone, or are into gaming, this is the mid-range phone to get - if you are looking for the best possible cameras instead, then the Redmi Note 7 Pro, and Realme 3 Pro have a slight advantage
2-minute Review [Negatives]	Somewhat bulky Vivo's Funtouch UI is one of the heavier Android skins around, and packs plenty of bloatware - which means that if you like your phones simple and fuss-free, it's not the best option around The super-wide angle camera, and the macro camera, while offering some interesting framing options, are not that good in terms of image quality Low light camera performance from the rear camera setup is average (the Night mode does help a bit though) Uses the old microUSB port, instead of the modern USB-C standard	On the heavy and bulky side (thanks to the large battery it packs) The display does not have a Widevine L1 certification - as a result, you can stream videos available on the over-the-top platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Videos at a maximum resolution of only 480p — not HD or fullHD For people who like a stock Android interface though, Funtouch OS may not be to their taste (once again, it's more iOS like in its aesthetic, and also packs some bloatware)
