Here comes another budget smartphone but this time, it comes with a bit more than the average entry-level device. Carrying a much interesting spec sheet, the KenXinDa Y20 (KXY Y20) is better in comparison to other Chinese smartphone products out there. However, it is still lacking when it comes to being a stylish albeit no iota of aesthetic reconnaissance on their end. The smartphone very well blends in a sea of smartphones out there and if you want something that doesn’t stand out and at a budget here you go.

Design and Display
Hopping on the 18:9 aspect ratio wagon, the smartphone has a more typical modern smartphone build. Much of this is owing to the bigger screen it has and making it more easy to handle in one hand use. The smartphone is metal clad with not too obvious antenna lines towards the top and bottom of the phone. The sim port it on the left side while the volume rocker and power button is at the right side like most smartphones.
The KenXinDa Y20 has a rather normal 6.0-inch display with the characteristic tall skin build which appears to be the trend now. As a budget smartphone that it is, the resolution is just 1440 x 720 pixels. This is about what you expect from a smartphone of its calibre, besides, it is justified by the price tag.
Battery and Camera
On the note of battery power, the smartphone keeps up with demands because of a fairly buoyant battery capacity. Keeping in mind that the average user expects the day of use from a smartphone provided by the 3, 600mAh battery on the KenXinDa Y20. You’ll be charging the smartphone using the MicroUSB port at the bottom, no fast charge supported.
Taking after dual camera tradition on the rear-end, the smartphone does well to give you a 5MP camera interpolated to 8MP supported by a 2MP sensor. To the front, you have a 5MP camera tasked with taking selfies and is also employed for face unlock too even though it is not as foolproof as the fingerprint option.
Hardware and Software
It is not really clear the set of chipset inside the phone even if it is just running on eight cores. In that regard, it is more likely to be a MediaTek MT6739 processor. Boasting of a 64-bit architecture, the processor can easily handle basics task on the smartphone from day to day. Also, you’ll be getting a 3GB RAM as well as 32GB of built-in space with an added support of expansion up to 128GB. On it is you’ll find an Android 8.1 Oreo which am sure is not a stock OS.
KenXinDa Y20 (KXY Y20) Pricing and Availability
