<\/p>\nDespite the 2020 trends in the abandonment of everything superfluous in smartphone boxes, Vivo nevertheless put to the device not only a charger and a USB-A – USB-C cable, but also a silicone case with 3.5 mm headphones.\u00a0Even if these are small things, they are still pleasant for the buyer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Vivo V20 SE is offered in two colors: soft blue and black.\u00a0The first option came to us.\u00a0The smartphone is completely made of plastic and it is worth admitting that for this money you can find options with a more premium glass case.\u00a0However, I note that the back panel has a pleasant matte finish.\u00a0It shimmers beautifully under different lighting conditions and is not as eager to collect fingerprints as glossy options.<\/p>\n

The camera block looks pretty neat and sticks out a little from the body.\u00a0The power button and volume rocker are on the right side, the slot for a microSD memory card and two SIM cards is on the top, and the USB-C port, speaker and 3.5 mm audio jack are on the bottom.<\/p>\n
In general, the Vivo V20 SE looks pretty, and it fits comfortably in the hand.\u00a0This is achieved through slightly rounded edges and a relatively low weight (171 grams).\u00a0However, the size of the display still does not allow you to comfortably use the smartphone with one hand.<\/p>\n
The Vivo V20 SE has a 6.44-inch AMOLED display.\u00a0It is not quite symmetrical in relation to the front panel, which is why the bottom bezel is noticeably larger than the rest.\u00a0The screen has a resolution of 2400 \u00d7 1080 pixels, the refresh rate is 60 Hz.<\/p>\n
By the standards of the class, a good matrix is \u200b\u200binstalled here with a sufficient margin of brightness and pleasant color rendering.\u00a0In the settings, you can activate the Eye Protection function, which will change the color temperature of the screen at night.\u00a0In addition, a choice of color profiles is available and it is possible to tell applications how they should mask the teardrop notch.<\/p>\n
In place of the aforementioned waterdrop notch is a 16MP front-facing camera.\u00a0Apart from its main task, it can also be used to unlock a smartphone.\u00a0Of course, in the case of Vivo V20 SE, this method is far from the most reliable, but it works quite smartly, even in low light conditions.<\/p>\n
A fingerprint scanner is built into the display.\u00a0In principle, there are no particular complaints about it.\u00a0It usually works quickly, but sometimes it may not recognize the finger the first time.<\/p>\n
But here there is already something to blame Vivo for.\u00a0For example, in choosing a chip and \/ or optimizing software for a particular model.\u00a0Vivo V20 SE received a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor with Adreno 610 graphics. 8 GB of RAM, 128 GB of built-in memory.\u00a0There are Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, NFC modules.\u00a0It looks good on paper, but in reality I would like more performance.<\/p>\n
This is not to say that the smartphone slows down or there are constantly microlags, but opening applications, switching between windows, downloading content, all this does not happen as quickly as we would like.\u00a0And in games, the situation is predictable: you can run heavy projects, but you have to set low graphics settings for an acceptable gameplay.\u00a0In synthetic tests, the Vivo V20 SE also showed nothing outstanding, and in the stress test the CPU started throttling noticeably after about 6 minutes under load.\u00a0Among the competitors there are smartphones with the Snapdragon 700 series, and with more interesting MediaTek chips, so if you are looking for a device for gaming, I would pay attention to other devices.<\/p>\n
The Vivo V20 SE is running Android 10 and Funtouch OS 11. The latter is more reminiscent of stock Android, which, for me, is a plus.\u00a0At the same time, there are a number of additional add-ons that may be useful to users.<\/p>\n
But this situation also has a reverse side of the coin.\u00a0Far from being the most productive chip, Full HD + display with a frequency of 60 Hz and a 4100 mAh battery together give about 1.5-2 days of autonomy.\u00a0Even with very active use, the Vivo V20 SE should survive until the evening.\u00a0Well, if you need to urgently charge the device, 33 W wired charging will come to the rescue.\u00a0The smartphone replenishes energy quickly, which is definitely a plus.\u00a0In the PCMark test, the device showed a result of 7 hours and 8 minutes.<\/p>\n
Well, for dessert, let’s talk about the Vivo V20 SE camera.\u00a0There are no surprises here, however.\u00a0Of the three camera modules, in fact, only the main 48-megapixel sensor with an aperture of f \/ 1.8 is of interest, because the two remaining here for beauty are two-megapixel macro and depth sensors.<\/p>\n
As for the quality of shooting, the situation is quite typical for Chinese manufacturers in this segment.\u00a0Good lighting – good photos are obtained with a minimum of artifacts and without critical loss of detail.\u00a0As soon as the shooting conditions deteriorate, blurring, distortions appear, and questions may appear about the color rendition.\u00a0A smartphone is clearly not for a mobile photographer, ordinary, average level of shooting.<\/p>\n
In Vivo V20 SE, only one speaker at the bottom is responsible for sound reproduction.\u00a0The volume reserve is enough so as not to miss a call or listen to music while you are going on business.\u00a0You should not count on low frequencies, but it reproduces music, in general, normally.<\/p>\n
Despite the good appearance and autonomy of the Vivo V20 SE, the smartphone still has a number of compromises.\u00a0For myself, I singled out performance as the main disadvantage, yet for such a price you expect a more optimized device.\u00a0Moreover, there are many competitors and, at least on paper, they offer more interesting characteristics.\u00a0However, the price cut could make the Vivo V20 SE a more attractive purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
