Google’s Pixel devices are usually the first Android smartphones to ship with the latest version of Android out of the box. But this year, Chinese OEM Vivo beat Google to the punch with the launch of the Vivo V20 late last month. The mid-range device was the first new smartphone to ship with Android 11 out of the box, beating Google’s new Pixel 5 and Pixel 4a 5G. Now, Vivo has launched the device in the Indian market at a starting price of ₹24,990 (~$341).
