Vivo has expanded the Vivo V20 series by launching the Vivo V20 SE in India today. As you might have guessed from the name, the Vivo V20 SE is a slimmed-down version of the V20 thatlaunchedlast month.

Vivo V20 SE offers a6.44-inch FHD+ AMOLED displaywith 2400 × 1080 pixel resolution. The device measures 7.83mm and weighs 171 grams. Connectivity options on the device include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, support for multiple navigation systems namely GPS, Beidou, Galileo, and GLONASS.

Under the hood, the smartphone is powered by Qualcomm’sSnapdragon 665– a chipset that was first announced in April last year. You get 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 1TB through a microSD card. Vivo has retained the 3.5mm headphone jack and has used the convenient USB-C port.

Coming to cameras, you get atriple rear camera setupconsisting of a primary 48MP f/1.8 sensor, an 8MP f/2.2 wide-angle lens, and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. For selfies, Vivo has packed a 32MP f/2.0 shooter in a waterdrop notch.

Unlike Vivo V20 that boastsAndroid 11, the Vivo V20 SEruns on Funtouch OS 11 based on Android 10, which is disappointing.
