Both phones offer dual SIM support, Bluetooth 5.0, dual band WiFi, and a micro USB port for connectivity. There are also fingerprint scanners on the back of the phones that support payment and can control the cameras too. Both the Vivo X20 And Vivo X20 Plus run FunTouch OS 3.0 based on Android  7.1.1 out of the box.

Camera features

Both phones have dual camera setups on their backs, in a 12MP + 5MP configuration.

The X20 Plus model is different in its camera features, as it’s capable of video recording with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization), as the Vivo V20 has just EIS. The 12MP f/1.8 sensor is unique as it can take images up to 24MP. Pair that with the 5MP secondary sensor and you get high quality bokeh images.

Vivo has created their own Face Wake technology that promises to unlock the device in just 0.1s, as it detects up to 128 different facial features before proceeding to unlock the phone.

    “full screen display”, “bezeless”, ‘2.5d”, “mark proof” what should the next lie be??
    “invisible borders” ??

      Almost all of those are industry standard terms that are used by just about every company.

    • September 21, 2017

      Bezel-less kinda implies having invisible borders, no? The next marketing buzzword might be ”holographic display” ;).

        or “3D holo display” to keep it punchy and easy to remember even for simple minds. Maybe even “4D holo display” because 3D is already outdated xD

      you forgot “infinite display”, which is pretty neat and kind of sexy in a metaphysical way

          Vivo always came with really nice headphones in the box, Hifi audio chips, well optimised camera’s (here we have dual front/rear), long time software updates/optimalisations. And lets not forget they are innovative.
          Yeah, they don’t come cheap but i guess they have their place in the market.

            fair enough !

            i’m waiting for a complete package from them, something along the lines of

            – Flagship SoC ( SD 845 would be good)
            – Quad cams (dual front/rear) with monochrome sensors of similar mpx
            – atleast 6 GB ram
            – stock android
            – BEZELESS FHD or preferrably 2k display
            – inscreen fingerprint + face recog

              Thanks, happy we can have good discussions!

              Yes, Xplay 7 will be introduced in not to long time, still not fully bezel-less and it will not have SD845 (but should be more than enough power). So you will probably have to wait for next year for a phone with these specs.

              For me, i’m also interested in the new Google phones that will be introduced in 10 days from now. I like camera centric phones.

              Good to meet here my friend, actually i saw some posts of you previously if I remember well. Because of your job you’ll have more knowledge than most here.
              Now about Vivo: Of the phones I had, for me the Vivo Xshot was one of the best if not THE best of its time.
              So, good memories and expensive yes, but things like ES9038 & OPA1622 on a xplay6 don’t come cheap when implemented.
