The vivo V20 smartphone has officially been launched in Kenya and is available in retail stores for ksh 45,999. This will be the company’s flagship smartphone for 2021 in Kenya. The V20 is the successor to the vivo V19 that I reviewed back in August.
We have known for a while that vivo had plans to launch the V20 smartphone in Kenya and it is finally here. The phone was actually supposed to be launched back in December but that did not happen.
The vivo V20 comes with a 48MP front facing camera which the company says uses advanced AI algorithm to track and focus on moving subjects. By sharpening photo and video quality for mobile subject tracking, the camera has the ability to shoot up to 4K selfie videos and also in slow motion.
“vivo always innovates with the consumer in mind. Guided by our deep insights into consumer needs, we developed the V20 to provide leading camera technology packed in a sleek, but affordable, device,” said vivo Kenya Brand Manager Mr. James Irungu.
“The V20 is ideal for young consumers who like to take regular photos and record life’s shiny moments, while the trendy design makes it a perfect accessory for their lifestyles,” he added.
At the back, the V20 comes with a triple camera set up that brings a 64MP-8MP-2MP back camera featuring Super Night Mode on the main lens, which supports tripod shooting, wide-angle night scenes, and a stylish night filter, enabling users to capture stunning photos in low-light scenarios. The device will also feature Dual-View Video, which allows the user to combine footage captured by the front and rear cameras.
On the design, the V20 comes with a 6.44- inch super AMOLED Display complemented by a light design, measuring 7.38mm thin and weighing only 170g with AG Matte Glass adding a soft and delicate touch, as well as Dual Tone Step, V20 complements the styles of trendy young consumers.
The V20 is built as both a design accessory and a powerful computing tool for fast-moving users to complete their everyday tasks with their mobile. V20 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor with an 8GB RAM + 256GB ROM, delivering smooth performance for applications and games.
For the battery, the device is powered by a 4,000mAh battery that supports vivo’s 33W FlashCharge technology.
