Editorial report

vivo V21e 5G technical sheet

The vivo V21e 5G suits buyers looking for a slim, light phone with an AMOLED display; the trade-off is a 4,000 mAh battery, which has less capacity than most phones of its time. Its 165 g weight and 7.7 mm thickness are among the best of its era, two useful figures for anyone who prioritizes a slender design.

The 6.44″ AMOLED display has 409 ppi, a higher pixel density than most phones launched around the same time. For apps, photos, and other files, it offers 256 GB of storage, more than most phones of its time, alongside 8 GB of RAM and a MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor. The camera has 64 MP resolution and a 1/1.7″ sensor, both better figures than those of most contemporaries. It does not have optical image stabilization. There is also an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and video recording reaches 4K at 30 fps.

Battery capacity is lower than on most phones of its time, while 44 W fast charging is more powerful than on most. Overall, the vivo V21e 5G is typical among phones launched around the same time and has a NeoScore of 5.4. It is worth considering for buyers who value a dense AMOLED display, low weight, and ample storage, and are comfortable with a smaller battery capacity.
