NOTE 4 VS V20 ANDROID

Vivo is the only non-Pixel mid-range device to run Android 11. You will find bits and pieces of VivoвЂ™s FuntouchOS all over the place which makes things a bit messy, visually. You get everything you would want from Android 11, which includes the new notifications system, the new power button menu and chat bubbles to name a few and it almost looks like stock Android. ItвЂ™s 2020 and Android 11 has been seeded to plenty of smartphones, with GoogleвЂ™s Pixel smartphones running it out of the box.

But with Full HD streaming support, my weekly episode of Star Trek: Discovery did look quite nice and punchy, with saturated colours. Netflix and Amazon Prime did not let me stream HDR content altogether. YouTube did give an option to select HDR quality, but the display was not able to pull it off, and suffered blown-out highlights. Unlike the OnePlus Nord that lets you stream content in HDR 10+, Vivo does not, so this is a missed opportunity.

WhatвЂ™s missing is HDR support, even though Vivo claims that it is an HDR display. The notch that features two cameras, surprisingly, did not intrude as much as I expected it to, and the in-display fingerprint reader ran without a glitch. Touch sensitivity was spot-on, and the display was a delight to game on with its deep blacks. The 6.44-inch FHD+ OLED display on the V20 Pro gets quite bright and delivers vibrant colours. All in all, itвЂ™s a quality OLED panel, even though it does not offer a high refresh rate. But the display fared well in direct sunlight and showcased no colour shifting when viewed at odd angles. Even at the standard colour display scheme, the colours do look a bit punchy thereвЂ™s no escaping that. But the slim build meant that Vivo had to skip on features that its competitors offer like a bigger battery, headphone jack and stereo speakers. Given the power it packs in, the V20 Pro is the perfect balance and hits the sweet spot for what one would expect a mid-range device to look like and perform. The camera bump at the back is also quite flat and barely protrudes from the glass surface, meaning that this phone wonвЂ™t wobble when placed on a flat surface. ItвЂ™s easy to handle even though itвЂ™s not a one-handed experience. Image: Tech2/Sheldon PintoДЄfter using the rather chunky (but practical) Mi 10T Pro, the Vivo V20 Pro felt like a dream.
