Editorial report
vivo V21s 8 GB / 128 GB / International technical sheet
The vivo V21s suits people who put an AMOLED display and a high-resolution camera first, while accepting a lower-capacity battery and a refresh rate below that of most phones of its time. Its display measures 6.44″, refreshes at 90 Hz, and has a density of 409 ppi. That pixel density is higher than on most phones launched around the same time, while 90 Hz is lower than most offer. The AMOLED panel uses a 20:9 aspect ratio.
At 7.3 mm thick, the phone is among the thinnest of its time, and its 176 g weight is lower than that of most contemporaries. Its 64 MP camera resolution is higher than on most phones of its time, and the camera is among the best. It also includes optical image stabilization, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, and 4K video recording at 30 fps. The 4,000 mAh battery capacity is among the weakest; 33 W fast charging is typical. Overall performance is typical for phones of its time. The configuration shown has 8 GB RAM and 128 GB expandable storage, alongside Android 12, 5G, NFC, and dual SIM. Its overall NeoScore is 5.9. This is a fit for people seeking a sharp display and a camera that stands out, provided the smaller battery and 90 Hz refresh rate suit their priorities.
