Editorial report
vivo V21 5G 8 GB / 128 GB / India technical sheet
The vivo V21 5G suits anyone looking for a slim, light phone with an AMOLED display. Its main trade-off is a 4,000 mAh battery, with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. The 6.44-inch display has 409 ppi, higher than that of most phones from its time. At 7.3 mm thick, the body is among the thinnest of its contemporaries, and its 176 g weight is lower than that of most phones launched around then.
The configuration shown pairs 8 GB of RAM with 256 GB of storage, more than most phones of its time in both respects. Storage is expandable, too. The 64 MP camera resolution is higher than that of most phones launched around the same time, and the camera includes optical image stabilization. Fast charging reaches 33 W, more than most phones from the same period. The AMOLED display also supports HDR10+, Always-On Display, and a 90 Hz refresh rate; that refresh rate is typical of its time.
Overall, the vivo V21 5G ranks better than most phones launched around the same time. Its slim body, high display pixel density, and camera resolution stand out, while the smaller battery capacity is the point to weigh. With a NeoScore of 5.9, it is a good fit for people who prioritize a thin design, a detailed display, and high camera resolution over a larger battery.
