NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The vivo Y6 is the most complete choice for buyers seeking endurance, performance, and camera hardware: its 7,200 mAh battery, 12GB of RAM, and 50MP main camera put it ahead of the vivo Y21 and vivo Y60. The vivo Y60 is the connectivity-focused alternative, while the vivo Y21 makes sense mainly for buyers who value a lighter phone and expandable storage.
The vivo Y6 combines a 6.75″ display with 85.3% usable surface, versus 6.51″ and 81% on the vivo Y21 and 6.74″ and 85% on the vivo Y60. It also has IP68, IP69, while the other two have IP65. Its 7,200 mAh battery and 44W charging lead the Y21’s 5,000 mAh and 18W and the Y60’s 6,500 mAh and 15W.
The Y6 and Y60 share the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2, UFS 3.1, and 256GB maximum storage; the Y21 uses the Helio P35, eMMC 5.1, and reaches 128GB. The Y6 adds 12GB of RAM against 4GB and 8GB. Its 50MP rear camera leads the 13MP units on both rivals. The Y60 has Bluetooth 5.1 versus Bluetooth 5.0 and 4.2, while the Y21 keeps microSD, weighs 182 g versus 219 g and 209 g, and offers 270 ppi versus 256 ppi and 260 ppi.
