Design & Construction

The Y20i arrives with a 2.5D body. It is light, ergonomic, and fits snuggly in the hands. Users can choose between these eye-popping colors: Dawn White that is inspired by soft morning horizons and Nebula Blue that is inspired by the deep universe.

The glossy rear is only interrupted by the vertically stacked rear cameras and tiny Vivo logo–all on the left side of the device. The screen in front is massive with slim bezels and a teardrop notch. At the bottom are the 3.5mm audio jack, microUSB port, and the loudspeakers. The SIM card slot is on the left side of the device. On the right side are the volume rocker and the power button, which is also the fingerprint scanner.

A clever design, the side-mounted fingerprint scanner is more accessible and makes the phone easier to unlock. The scanner can recognize your fingerprint in only 0.22 seconds.
