2-minute Review [Positives]	The design feels fresh and vibrant - phone's sleek profile is eye-catching, with a matte back glass, it is one of the nicest looking phones for the price The phone looks quite flawless from the back, it features a rather flashy back cover The Vivo V20 is one of the lightest around in the price segment, and at 7.38mm in thickness, it is surprisingly slim The power button has a texture to give it a more distinguished feeling The in-display fingerprint scanner, as well as face recognition, are quick to unlock the V20 The display is a gorgeous 6.44-inch AMOLED FHD+ panel which promises vibrant and life-like colours - the contrast is impressive and it also supports HDR10 for high-quality video playback It gets bright enough for using the device even under harsh sunlight The Vivo V20 comes with Android 11 out of the box, with Vivo's new Funtouch OS 11 - this new skin by Vivo brings several bells and whistles, and a much cleaner, simpler interface - there's an improved dark mode and tons of customisation options Good performance from the Snapdragon 720G SoC - it is good enough to help you through tasks of daily use and even running multiple apps simultaneously - casual gaming is no issue and heavy games run at medium settings, which is decent Good triple cameras for the price - a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP ultra-wide-angle camera, and a 2MP mono camera Photos shot in bright sunny conditions turned out well - images clicked using the device generally come out with life-like colours and packing good detail The Ultra-wide camera adds fun new perspectives, it can take dramatic super-wide-angle photos with lesser details than the main camera - besides, it can also take Macro shots, which come out with good detail, and you end up with a higher resolution image compared to what most dedicated macro cameras produce Portraits have good edge detection and you do get the option to set the intensity of the blur effect - beautification is enabled by default which smoothens skin textures Low-light camera performance is good, photos have little noise and details in brighter areas are decent - enabling Night mode improves the level of detail The 44MP selfie camera is very good at what it does - daylight selfies are sharp with accurate colours and good details, there's also an Eye Autofocus option that keeps the subject in sharp focus - portrait selfies are possible and you can set the level of blur before taking a shot Video recording in daylight is good, video recording tops out at 4K for the primary as well as the selfie shooter - footage shot in 4K, as well as 1080p, is stabilised (though, video shot in low light has a shimmer effect at both resolutions, which isn't good) Overall, cameras are one of the highlights of the phone and they can take on any other capable camera phone at this price Good battery life from the 4000 mAh battery - it can easily manage to keep the phone going on for around a day on moderate-heavy use Charging is quick with the supplied 33W FlashCharge charger - it takes the V20 to 98 percent in an hour If you value looks over other aspects, the Vivo V20 will appeal to you, it is well designed and feels premium to the touch - the device also offers above par photography performance, it emerges as a very good option for taking pictures and shooting videos	The Vivo X50 is a breath of fresh air, bringing a sexy, luxurious design - the soft satin finish of the glass back with a classy matte metallic hue gives it a unique and amiable look It is one of the few Android phones that is somewhat compact and relatively light-weight at this price The under-display fingerprint scanner is fast and accurate for the most part and there's also Face Unlock that works well Very good 6.5-inch AMOLED FHD+ screen, which looks pretty good - the colours are punchy, saturated and viewing content on it is a delight The display have all the bells and whistles here including a 90Hz refresh rate, 180Hz response rate, HDR10+ support and up to 1300 nits peak brightness Good performance with the new Snapdragon 730 - the Vivo X50 dashes through everything you throw at it, for day to day use, you should have no issues whatsoever and Heavy 3D games like PUBG Mobile runs smoothly Very good quad camera setup - a primary gimbal 48MP sensor, a 13MP portrait zoom lens, an 8MP ultra-wide and an 5MP macro camera In daylight everything looks generally pleasing including sharp, detailed shots with good colours - close-ups look excellent too, with sharp details and generous background bokeh The ultra-wide camera gets you that extra-wide perspective on the world - it adds a little extra fun to the functionality with the macro mode and can take sharp and detailed close-ups - this pretty much renders the dedicated macro camera obsolete Portrait shots of people and objects generally look good - you can adjust the level of background blur, and add beauty effects and filters The front-facing 32MP camera does a good job - the portrait mode works well, filters, Beauty and other usual features are also present Overall, this is one of the more exciting camera setups at this price and Vivo isn't playing a numbers game, each camera has different functionality that adds to the overall versatility of the cameras Good loudspeaker performance - the output is loud and clear with very little distortion in the bass at full volume Good battery life with the 4200 mAh cell - it will easily last a full day on a single charge with 90 Hz display on moderate use Very good fast charging with the 33W Flash Charger - it can fill up the battery in about 80 minutes The Vivo X50 is a pretty solid all-rounder - it looks stylish, is built well, and has good cameras, battery life and the AMOLED display are also some of its strong suits (though, the software might be an eyesore to a lot of users, it also feels a little underpowered for the price)
2-minute Review [Negatives]	Because of its slim profile, the Vivo V20 is a bit slippery Though, it isn't a high-refresh-rate panel However, this isn't the best performing phone at the price, there are better options available like the OnePlus Nord However, if heavy-duty gaming is what you're looking for, alternatives such as the OnePlus Nord offer significantly better performance, you can also consider the Galaxy M51 for its insane battery life powered by a 7000 mAh battery	As with all previous Vivo phones, the software experience continues to be the pain point, it has barely improved over the last few years - this wouldn’t have been as big a deal if it were another one of Vivo’s budget smartphones, but consumers expect an ad-free, no-frills affair in the premium segment, that the X50 Pro is lacking The Snapdragon 730 is a good processor, but for a phone at this price the Vivo X50 feels a little underpowered There’s no headphone jack and you will have to invest in some good Bluetooth headsets if you want to charge your phone and listen to music simultaneously For the price, the Vivo X50 is a little underpowered compared to phones such as the Realme X2 Pro and OnePlus 7T, which both have flagship-level SoCs - while this shouldn't hamper day-to-day performance, it could prevent certain high-end games from running at their full potential
