As of the moment

COD works fine

The vivo Y20s [G] performs nicely for a smartphone with an expected low price tag.

It also has a sleek and slim design, a decent-looking large screen despite only having an HD+ resolution, and pretty powerful specs for a budget smartphone.

In addition, it highlights a large 6GB RAM for better multitasking and overall performance as well as more than ample 128GB of storage. That's rare for a Y series vivo smartphone.

The side-mounted fingerprint scanner also works nicely so far.

But just note, we do not know the suggested retail price of this unit here in the Philippines yet. 

We also need to use this phone more to be able to come up with an accurate review.
