Vivo Y20 and a very similar other phone launched in India at Rs 11,490
Packs in a massive battery
Vivo has added two new budget phones in the Y series today. The company has unveiled Vivo Y20 and Y20i in India.
The only difference between the two devices is the amount of RAM. The Y20i comes with 1GB less RAM than the Y20. While normal brands would sell them as two variants of the same products, Vivo is labelling them as two different phones for some reason. Both the devices are made in India and are manufactured in the company’s Noida facility.

To the front, you get an 8MP selfie camera that’s housed inside the dew-drop notch. They also come with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.
