Vivo V20 SE is the latest addition to the Vivo's V-series, and it is positioned as a more affordable version of the Vivo V20, which was launched last month. With the V20, Vivo focused on design and cameras, and you can see a similar approach with the Vivo V20 SE as well. However, to target a lower price point, the V20 SE has undergone a cost-cutting exercise resulting in lower resolution camera sensors and a different processor, among other things. So is the Vivo V20 SE still special, or has Vivo gone a bit too far? Let's find out.
Vivo V20 SE is a more affordable version of the Vivo V20 and caters to a more affordable price segment. It has a 6.44-inch AMOLED display with a dewdrop notch at the top. The display has good viewing angles and also houses an in-display fingerprint scanner. The V20 SE is tall and slim and packs in a 4100mAh battery and comes with a 33W fast charger in the box.
Vivo ships the V20 SE with Funtouch OS 11 on top of Android 10. The UI is customisable and you get a few preinstalled apps on the device. Vivo has picked the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 SoC and paired it with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. This chipset isn’t the most powerful in this price segment.
The V20 SE sports a triple camera setup comprising of a 48-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera also capable of macro photography and a 2-megapixel bokeh camera. The V20 SE performed well for closeups but landscape shots could do with few improvements.
