Vivo Y20s (G) goes official with Helio G80 and 5000mAh battery


Vivo Y20s [G]

For Vivo, launching multiple variants of certain smartphones isn’t a big problem. The company has no less than six smartphones under the Vivo Y20 series, and apparently, this isn’t enough. Today, the Chinese smartphone maker is introducing a new variant that goes with Vivo Y20S [G] moniker. This certainly stands as the most strangely named smartphone in this family. The new device went on sale in the Philippines today as a version of the Vivo 20S featuring the MediaTek Helio G80 chipset. We assume that the “G” comes from the chipset.

The device honors the Vivo Y20 series bringing some specifications that are common among all smartphones in this lineup. That includes a 6.51-inch LCD with a waterdrop notch at the front. This display offers 1,600 x 720 pixels of resolution (HD+) and a 20:9 aspect ratio. The notch cutout serves as a house for the 8MP selfie snapper.

Moving around to the back, the smartphone packs a triple-camera setup. The handset has a 13MP f/2.2 main camera, a 2MP f/2.4 macro camera, and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor for bokeh effects. Under the hood, we have the MediaTek Helio G80 chipset. For those unaware, this is a 12 nm-based chipset with two ARM Cortex-A75 cores operating at up to 2.0GHz plus six ARM Cortex-A55 cores operating at up to 1.8GHz. The chipset has a Mali-G52 GPU and includes a bunch of MediaTek-specific technologies to improve the experience. This certainly is a mid-range chipset and nothing beyond that, still, it’s one of the best chipsets available in the budget segment. Of course, save for the 12nm standard which is a little bit old and less efficient nowadays.

The phone is paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of Internal Storage. Of course, you can expand this amount thanks to a dedicated microSD card slot. The phone runs Android 11 straight out of the box and it has Funtouch OS 11 running on the top. For now, OriginOS seems to be a Chinese exclusive software skin. The phone draws power from a huge 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging. However, it still comes with a micro USB standard. The handset has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
