Vivo U20 launched in India to take on Redmi Note 8 & Realme 5s, price starts at Rs 10,990 

Vivo launched the U10, its debut phone under its online-exclusive U-series, in India in September. Two months later, the company has launched the second U-series phone, aptly called the U20. Like the U10 before it, the U20 also packs a ginormous 5,000mAh battery and 18W fast charging support out-of-the-box. That’s the only thing the two phones have in common though as the U20 is an upgrade on almost all the other departments. Vivo has launched the U20 in India at a starting price of Rs 10,990.   

Vivo U20 specs and features

Speaking of core specs, the Vivo U20 has a 6.53-inch FHD+ or 1080p+ display with a waterdrop-style notch. The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 processor paired with up to 6GB RAM and up to 64GB storage – there's also a provision for storage expansion.
