Vivo Y20G goes official with Helio G80 and a 5,000mAh battery

Vivo launched the Y20 in Nepal in September 2020 and now the company has launched another device under the Y20 lineup. The new Vivo Y20G is powered by MediaTek Helio G80 and is now available in India. But we expect Vivo to launch the device in Nepal as well. Until that happens, let’s take a look at the specs, features, expected price, and availability of Vivo Y20G in Nepal.

Vivo Y20G Overview:

Design and Display

Like the regular Y20, the Y20G sports a 6.51-inch Halo Full View display. It's an HD+ display with an aspect ratio of 20:9. The screen has a waterdrop notch that houses the front camera. It comes with an Eye Protection Mode which when turned on blocks the harmful blue rays. The bezels around the screen are quite noticeable, especially the bottom chin. Vivo has not changed the design much except for the new Purist Blue color option. It also retains the Obsidian Black color from the regular Y20. At the back, we get to see the rectangular camera module along with the Vivo branding.

Performance and Memory

Here, Vivo Y20G packs in MediaTek's Helio G80 chipset. Thus, it should perform much better than the Snapdragon 460 in the Vivo Y20. Vivo claims that the Y20G is 20% better optimized than the regular Y20. The device is available in a single memory configuration of 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. There is a dedicated microSD card slot that you can use to expand the memory further.

Camera

The camera setup has remained unchanged. Y20G has a 13MP primary camera accompanied by two 2MP sensors for portrait and macro shots. It’s sad to see that Vivo still could not make room for an ultra-wide sensor. The three cameras are arranged vertically inside a left-aligned camera module.

Rest of the specs

The device is fueled by a massive battery of 5000mAh battery. Vivo has included support for 18W fast charging too. Unfortunately, Vivo is still sticking to a micro USB charging port. For biometrics, there is a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. Vivo claims that it can unlock the device in just 0.17 seconds. The phone ships with Funtouch OS based on Android 11.
