Verdict
For us, you can't go wrong with either device. Go for the Y20i if you prefer a device with a glass-like finish at the back and you can't stretch your budget up to PHP 8K. Personally, I also like its selfie camera a little better and that makes it a pretty decent choice at this price point. It also has good speed for a budget device.
But, we have to pick a winner. For PHP 500 more, we think that the narzo 20 offers a little better value for money overall.
Why? It has a larger battery capacity, the chipset that it is using is faster, and as we saw earlier its main camera performance is ahead versus the vivo Y20i.
But overall, again, as mentioned, the two of them are pretty good for budget smartphones.
What do you guys think?
