The smartphone manufacturer has made it official that they plan on unveiling the device on Wednesday, 24 January at an event held in Beijing, China.

According to a report published by Financial Express, the Vivo X20 Plus (previously known as Vivo X20 Plus UD) would be powered by Synaptics’ Clear ID 9500 optical under-the-display fingerprint sensor, which would enable the technology to extend support for many types of functionalities.
As far as other specifications are concerned, the smartphone is expected to sport a 6.43-inch OLED display with 2,160 x 1,080 pixels resolution. Furthermore, the handset will come powered by a 2.2GHz octa-core processor with a storage option of 4GB of RAM and 64GB of inbuilt memory. It has also further been speculated that the device might be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 system-on-chip. However, the same hasn’t been confirmed by the company as yet.
When it comes to the device’s camera, the Vivo X20 Plus is expected to sport a dual rear camera system with 12-megapixel and 5-megapixel sensors. On the front side, the handset will sport a 12-megapixel sensor. The X20 Plus will be home to a 3,800mAh battery and will include numerous connectivity options including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 4G and GPS among others.
