The Vivo X20 Plus is expected to feature a 5.99-inch 18:9 Full View display and pack in 6 GB RAM. The device should pack in a 3,500 mAh battery and come with Android 7.1 Nougat. The camera specifications are also said to resemble the V7 Plus with a 24 MP unit on the front. Though has not been any official confirmation yet, it is unlikely that the Vivo X20 will be brought to India, having just launched a flagship device.
