| 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
|
- Fresh, sophisticated and premium-looking rear design - it features a pattern of vertical pinstripes down the rear that seem to shift from side to side when you move the phone around under the light
- Front looks slick with a dewdrop notch at the top
- It's relatively easy to use and live with because of its tall and narrow footprint
- The fingerprint reader is on the back and performs well
- Large 6.5-inch HD+ display - it's crisp enough for gaming and video streaming
- Software is one area where Realme has taken a big leap, the Realme UI is easy to use - it is also packed with features such as Game Space, Digital Wellbeing, Focus Mode, Dark Mode, and Riding Mode among others
- Good performance from the new MediaTek G80 chipset (similar to the Snapdragon 712) - the phone smoothly handles day-to-day task with ease and heavy games like PUBG Mobile run reasonably well
- Decent quad-camera setup at the back - a 48MP primary camera, a 8MP ultra-wide, a 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor
- Shots with primary camera, under bright sunlight have lots of detail and exposures are well balanced - it works well for casual photography
- The ultra-wide-angle camera delivers fairly decent shots and captures more of the scene in the frame, as long as there is good lighting
- The portrait mode works well with well defined subjects and natural looking bokeh
- The selfie camera is decent - it also takes quite good portraits
- Excellent battery life with the 5000 mAh battery - it easily lasts for 2 days of moderate use
- Decent fast charging with the supplied 18W charger - it fills the phone's battery to the brim in about 2 hours
- The Narzo 10 is a very strong contender if your priority is performance and battery life, and for its target audience, which are gamers, these are the things that matter
|
| 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
|
- A bit thick at 9mm and relatively hefty at 199g
- Competition offers better displays with FHD+ resolution
- The display isn't particularly bright and could be a problem to use in direct sunlight
- There are still a number of pre-loaded apps however - though most of these can thankfully be uninstalled
- Low-light photography is just average, as expected from a budget phone
- Macros are blotchy and rough, with the limited resolution, this camera should be used more for fun than anything else
- However, if you can spend a little more, you might want to consider the Realme 6 and the Redmi Note 9 Pro instead, as they offer much better performance and cameras
