The Vivo Y20 was released back in August 2020, and it has officially PTA Approved in Pakistan. The prices ranging from Rs. 23,900 to Rs. 26,999.
New Old Stock (Retailer Inventory) — Rs. 23,900 – Rs. 26,999
Used (Good Condition) — Rs. 14,000 – Rs. 20,000
Note:
The Vivo Y20 has been officially discontinued and is no longer in production.
New units are available only through remaining retailer stock.
Used prices vary depending on the phone's condition and accessories.
Manufacturer warranty is generally not available on used devices.
The Y20 has a simple plastic build that was standard for budget phones in 2020. It does not feel premium, but it is solid enough for basic handling.
Dimensions: 164.4 x 76.3 x 8.4mm
Weight: 192.3g — average weight for the time
Build: Glass front, plastic back and frame
Side-mounted fingerprint sensor
Colors: Obsidian Black, Dawn White, Purist Blue
No IP rating — no official dust or water resistance
SIM: Dual Nano-SIM with dedicated microSD slot
3.5mm headphone jack: Yes
USB: microUSB 2.0 — not USB-C, which is a real inconvenience in 2026
The microUSB port is the biggest practical issue here. Almost every phone, charger, and cable sold today uses USB-C. You will likely need to keep an old microUSB cable specifically for this phone, since most newer charging accessories no longer include them.
The 6.51-inch IPS LCD display was a standard budget panel for 2020. It does the job for basic use but lacks the smoothness and sharpness of any phone released in the last few years.
Size: 6.51 inches IPS LCD
Resolution: 720 x 1600 pixels — HD+ at around 270 PPI
Refresh rate: 60Hz standard — no high refresh rate option
Screen-to-body ratio: 81.6%
There is no 90Hz or 120Hz option here, which every modern phone — even budget ones — now offers. Scrolling and animations will feel noticeably slower compared to any phone released after 2022.
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 was a capable entry-level chip in 2020, but mobile software has grown significantly more demanding since then.
Chipset: Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 (11nm)
CPU: Octa-core — 4x1.8 GHz Kryo 240 + 4x1.6 GHz Kryo 240
GPU: Adreno 610
RAM: 3GB, 4GB, or 6GB depending on the unit
Storage: 64GB eMMC 5.1 with microSD expansion
OS: Android 10 — never updated beyond Android 11
No 5G
Basic calling, texting, and lightweight browsing work fine. Modern apps including WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram will run, but expect noticeably slower load times and occasional stutter compared to current budget phones. Heavy apps and games are not realistic expectations for this hardware in 2026.
The triple camera setup on the Y20 was modest even in 2020, and camera technology has advanced significantly since then.
Main camera: 13MP, f/2.2, PDAF autofocus
Macro camera: 2MP
Auxiliary lens: 2MP depth sensor
Video: 1080p at 30fps
Selfie camera: 8MP, f/1.8
Daylight photos are usable for basic sharing but lack the detail and processing quality of any current budget phone's 50MP setup. Low-light photography is weak. This is genuinely one of the areas where the Y20 falls furthest behind current options at similar used pricing.
The 5000mAh battery remains a reasonable capacity even by today's standards, and the Snapdragon 460's efficiency helps it last.
Battery capacity: 5000mAh
Wired charging: 18W
No wireless charging
Battery life is genuinely still decent for light use — calls, texting, and basic browsing can stretch through a full day comfortably. This is one of the few areas where the phone has not aged as much as everything else.
OS: Android 10 with Funtouch 10.5 — last updated in 2021, no further updates since
Wi-Fi: Dual-band Wi-Fi 5
Bluetooth: 5.0
NFC: No
USB: microUSB 2.0 — not USB-C
3.5mm headphone jack: Yes
FM Radio: Yes
GPS: Standard multi-system support
The lack of security updates since 2022 is the most significant software concern. Funtouch 10.5 was a capable interface in 2020, but using an unpatched operating system in 2026 carries genuine security risk, especially for anything involving banking apps or sensitive personal data.
The Vivo Y20 was a genuinely solid budget phone in 2020, and the 5000mAh battery and overall reliability still hold up reasonably well even today. But it has been discontinued for good reason — the outdated Android version with no security updates since 2022, the microUSB port, the 60Hz display, and the weak camera all reflect just how much budget phones have improved in the years since.
If your budget is extremely tight and you only need basic calling and texting as a secondary device, the Vivo Y20 at Rs. 14,000 to Rs. 20,000 used can still serve that narrow purpose. But for anyone looking for a primary smartphone in 2026, even budget options like the Infinix Hot 50i or Realme C71 at similar or slightly higher prices offer significantly better security, performance, and features. The Y20 has simply been left behind by six years of progress in the budget segment.
