THINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED
Smartphones today come with a speaker below the foot of the phone where the charging port and headphone ports are located. In my opinion the speaker below should be positioned just like the speaker above i.e. just at the foot before it gets below. But Why? Because when gaming and watching videos, users can unconsciously block it, so to avoid that the user has to adjust his/her hand while gaming or watching videos which might not be so comfortable.
Let’s spread the word so that hopefully we see a change.

INTERESTING FEATURES
MULTI-TURBO 3.0
Vivo Y2o Multi-Turbo includes a centre Turbo that works at the system’s base level and an AI Turbo that predicts system abnormalities which are often caused by third-party apps and resolves them before they happen, from better network performance to rapid cooling thereby resulting in smooth user experience in AI functions and gameplay.
ULTRA GAME MODE
This includes 4D Game vibration 2.0 which makes you feel the happenings in the game you are playing, making you immersed.
Thanks to pop-up window optimisation you won’t be disturbed by notifications from social media or incoming calls.
Quick Tip: To check for notifications use three fingers to swipe up and to screenshot use three fingers to swipe down.
It also has a newly added Game album and screen recording function which can be activated in the side bar.
iMANAGER
Set up your iManager to keep your phone in good shape most likely when you are at sleep. Tasks such as cleaning up your phone or phone scanning are what would take place.
SHOULD YOU BUY ?
According to specs* the Vivo Y20 seems pretty decent, it has a large battery with enough capacity to charge your other device ( with OTP cable though), a side mounted fingerprint scanner which unlock in 0.22secs( while the screen is on) , decent camera, display and hardware ( Polycarbonate). So far in my research I haven’t discovered any complaints except the bottom speaker placement which seems to be common among smartphones today . I think it’s ok for the price it goes for, but if you are thinking something contrary why not tell us in the comments.
