Editorial report
vivo Y21 (2021) technical sheet
The vivo Y21 (2021) suits buyers looking for a straightforward Android phone, but its camera and 4 GB of RAM are weaker than those of most phones of its time. At 8 mm thick and 182 g, it is thinner and lighter than most phones launched around the same time, which makes its compact physical profile a notable part of its specification set.
Its 6.51-inch IPS LCD display has a density of 270 ppi, lower than that of most phones of its time. The rear camera’s 13 MP resolution is also lower than most, and its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest of its time. The front camera is 8 MP. A MediaTek Helio P35, 4 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of expandable storage make up the core hardware; the RAM is below most phones launched around the same time, while the storage capacity is typical.
The 5000 mAh battery and 18 W charging are typical figures for phones of its time. Android 11, Dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and USB Type-C round out the listed features. Its overall NeoScore is 4.5, also typical among phones launched around the same time. The Y21 (2021) is best suited to buyers who value a thin, light phone and expandable storage, and can accept a lower-density display, modest camera specifications, and less RAM than most contemporaries.
