Top Features of vivo V20 that you didn’t know about

Barely six weeks after the unveil, vivo’s V20 is now widely available in the Nigeria mobile market as a “competition of its own.”
In the past weeks, the device has been purchased by hundreds of buyers, and as anticipated, random reviews suggest that the device is outstanding for its superior selfie camera attributes.

While the device is still largely available for purchase at various retail outlets nationwide, some potential buyers are still seeking validation before making a final decision.

On that note, this blog post will outline some of the top intriguing features of the vivo V20 that you may not be aware about yet.

The V20 belongs to a flagship Lineup

Firstly, the vivo V20 is a flagship device and it boasts of a lot of high-tier features that is clearly rare among other devices within its price range.

Although it isn’t enough to be a flagship device, the V20 is also exceptional because of its fancy design which according to various reviews, is a breakthrough from the norm.

At a corresponding price of ₦159,000 for a flagship phone, interested users can rate this at the top of their choices.

The V20 is a spinoff from vivo’s camera-centric smartphone collection (4K capability)

Among many reasons to own a V20 device, being a spinoff of vivo’s camera-centric smartphone collection is one of them.

In case you are not aware yet, the V20 device marks the 8th generation of vivo’s V-Series lineup which are quite prominent for their excellent camera attributes.

While the latest addition to the family also takes pride in that legacy, it boasts of a 44MP eye autofocus selfie camera – one of the unique selling points of the device.

Alongside that, the V20 also comes with a triple rear camera setup consisting of 64MP f/1.89 +8MP f/2.2 (Super Wide-Angle/Super Macro/Bokeh) + 2MP f/2.4 (Mono).

More notable is the output of the camera which is profoundly top-notch, thanks to the sharpness and smooth texture of the images which is aided by both the selfie and rear camera.

Also, the camera comes with a lot of special attributes including an Auto Focus (AF) feature that works wonders as it is capable of locking focus on an object in a split-time frame.

Having tried out the selfie camera which attracted the majority of the buzz around the device, I can’t but re-affirm that the hype is really worth it.

However, if you are looking out for a device with a telephoto lens, I’m sorry, but this is not your choice as the V20 strictly relies on the main lens which is quite a good feat too.

Still on the camera aspect, the V20 is equipped with an AI technology that allows users to get up to 10X zoom which maintains clarity with long-distance images e.g texts.

This takes us further to what the company calls Smart Zoom. The feature allows users to move in closely on an object or perhaps drift away quickly while keeping the object at the center of the frame.

Similarly, there is another feature called motion autofocus which helps users to enjoy a stable coverage while on motion.
By simply tapping on a person or object (car or bicycle for instance); motion autofocus will track them while maintaining a sharp, continuous focus all through.

One more interesting thing you should know about V20 camera output is the emphasis on details. Trust me, you can’t go wrong with the device in this aspect, thanks to the notable blurred-out background in every image, allowing to capture more details on the focused object.

Lastly, there is a Super Night mode feature that’s not only built for ‘night’ purposes only; the mode can also play a handy role in areas with improper lighting.

4K video quality

Aside from taking images, the V20 is also capable of shooting 4K videos, although it comes with the more widely used 1080P option as well.

Where the 1080P video option offers a smooth but less colorful or desaturated video quality, the 4K option on the other hand offers a punchy and well saturated video output.

More interestingly, the V20 video, unlike most devices within it range does not lose stabilization while in action.

However, using the 4K option takes a toll on the storage space; in comparison, about 3X the size utilized by the ordinary full-HD 1080P mode.

AG Glass Technology

In case you are wondering, the anti-glare (AG) glass technology is a chemical-based surface treatment applied directly on the surface of a glass to micro asperities which gives the glass surface an anti-glare effect under certain conditions like sunlight.

Spotted on the V20, the AG glass measures approximately 7.3mm, contributing to the overall appealing sleek design found on the device.
Also, this marks the first time that the company will be debuting such technology on the V-series as it has previously made use of the less durable gorilla glass back instead.

Face Unlock technology

For a device within its price range, one would rarely come across the face technology utilized by the V20 device.
Well, that’s not even the highlight, but the fact that the face technology used on the V20 device is very quick in response, and also works perfectly in a dim-light environment.

If you ask, I would say the perfection of the face unlock technology can be attributed to the 44MP eye autofocus camera.

Delivered with super processor and Android OS

On the performance aspect, the V20 device operates on the latest Android 11-based Funtouch 11 built on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G Octa-core platform (chipset).

Paired with an 8GB RAM and up to 256GB storage space, the V20 device exhibits a performance similar to those devices with Snapdragon 730G.

For the purpose of this blog post, the above claims implies that the device is capable of running through an entire day when handling normal tasks and even tedious ones like playing 4K games, or editing.

Company-built Funtouch OS 11

Unlike the regular Android devices, the V20 like most other vivo devices comes with the company’s latest default Funtouch OS 11 based on Android 11.

The synergy between both OS yielded a minimalist aesthetic that allows users to interact or navigate through the device functions smoothly and seamlessly.

This smart addition also introduces a more uniquely designed icon for each application which differentiate the device user interface from any other ones.

Default Ultra Game Mode (UGM)

With a super processor built into the device, gaming is one thing you do surely be attracted to, and guess what? The V20 came prepared just for that purpose.

The V20 device is equipped with an ultra-game mode that allows you to harness all the potential of your phone’s super hardware.

The UGM basically allows you to optimize all required performance for a seamless gaming experience including the CPU/GPU, RAM, Network, Smart performance, and finally, the Thermal management policy.

While this option takes a toll on the battery life, you can alternatively turn it off especially when you are not close by to a power source.

Regardless, gaming experience on the V20 device is something an interested user should anticipate as it is purposely built.

Smart life made easier with Jovi Home

Another impressive feature that interested users get to enjoy on the V20 device is the Jovi Home – a default smart assistance that’s fully integrated with quicker access to most used apps.

Not just that, the fully integrated hub also serves other purposes like suggesting new smart services, weather forecast, and System updates among others.

In order to make this feature very accessible, vivo positioned the smart assistance on the left side of the screen such that swiping right would take you to the integrated hub.

Superfast Charging Capability

While the V20 device is powered by a 4000mAh battery; something I would consider not so exciting, it is capable of replenishing pretty fast.

Practically, a user can power up the V20 device from 0-100 in about 45-minutes; say before you complete your morning routine – bath and breakfast.

This amazing feat is, however, attributed to the device’s 33W Flash Charge technology, which is not so profound among other devices within its price range.

Modest pricing

Available in two major color variants – Sunset Melody, and Midnight jazz, the vivo V20 starts at ₦159,000.

Interested buyers can look up e-commerce platforms such as Jumia or perhaps visit any accredited retail outlet around you.

“My son contracted COVID19 last term” – Comedian, Owen Gee reveals as he kicks against reopening of schools

Popular Nigerian comedian, Owen Gee has criticized the reopening of schools amidst the second wave of covid-19 pandemic.

Owen Gee in an exclusive interview with PUNCH, revealed that his nine-year-old son contracted the novel Coronavirus while in school last term.

The comedian further revealed his wife, and his first son also got infected with COVID while looking after his second son who got diagnosed with the viral disease.

Recounting his family’s experience with Covid-19, he said,

“I have two kids, one is in primary while the other is in secondary school. Last term, one of my kids came home ill and was sick for a while. We kept treating him for malaria but to no avail. We treated him for two weeks till he lost his senses of smell and taste. He had body aches and was excessively weak. It was at that point we discovered he had contracted COVID-19. He was about nine years old at the time.

“My wife and I started taking care of him because we could not abandon him, he is our son. In the process of taking care of him, my wife and I also contracted the virus. It was a war for us, later on, his elder brother contracted the virus

“I couldn’t be separated from my family because going to an isolation center will mean separating us. The psychological damage alone was something else.

“We became a family of four with COVID. We had it at different times so for over a month, we battled with the deadly ailment. It cost a fortune aside the fact that I also got help from well-meaning friends who had contracted it. Some friends also helped in terms of medication and support.”

Owen who expressed concern over the government’s decision to reopen schools despite the second wave of the pandemic in the country, said,

“With the rate at which the figures are going up, give me a reason why they want the schools to reopen?

“In light of what we have faced, I have asked my children to stay at home. Their lives mean more to me than their education. A lot of countries are on lockdown, they are not bothered if their children will go to the next class or not. Nigeria is not the most developed country in the world. We should not act as if education is a do or die affair. We are talking about a virus.

A bucket of water outside the school and hand sanitiser is not enough to prevent children from getting the virus. Because we all have different immunities, I cannot risk the life of my child. I do not support the resumption of schools.”

“Family member caused death of 6 kids crushed by car in Edo” – Native doctor

A native doctor who was invited by some leaders in the community where six children were crushed to death by a speeding car in Uromi, Edo state, has fingered a family member responsible for the death of the kids.

We reported earlier of how a learner driver in the area lost control of his car and swerved to where the kids were said to be playing and killed all 6 of them..

According to a member of the community, Enaholo Abel Enaholo, the native doctor stated that an uncle to one of the children caused the tragic accident because he refused to accept a goat from the child’s mother after a misunderstanding.

He wrote;

“Native Doctor Live in Uromi as is invited to ascertain the cause of the accident that claimed 6 Kids in the town a few days ago. UROMIANS NO GET JOY OO I think the level of value of life here no matter the means with which they decide to use is nice.”

In a follow-up post, Enaholo wrote;

“OUTCOME OF THE NATIVE DOCTOR’S INTERVENTION IN UROMI
The Uncle to one of the kids is said to be responsible for his death while other kids were unlucky to be with the kid at the time of the incident.

THE ISSUE
Two brothers had issues because of the younger brother’s wife. The elders told the younger brother’s wife to bring a goat and the elder brother should also bring a goat. The younger brother’s wife brought the goat but her brother-in-law refused to collect the goat so that is why the son was collected in place of the goat. So instead of one child, the 6 kids were collected and labeled as casualties”

Stop making women feel less beautiful when they don’t look like your favorite celebrities – Juliet Ibrahim
