Y21 technical sheet
The vivo Y21 is a 5G phone with a 6.74-inch IPS LCD, 720 × 1,600 px resolution, 1,200-nit peak brightness and a 120 Hz refresh rate. It supports capacitive touch and multi-touch, while the surface is scratch resistant. Its 260 ppi density is a documented limitation when compared with higher-resolution panels.
Its hardware uses the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, an octa-core CPU reaching 2.4 GHz, Mali-G57 MC2 graphics, 8 GB of DDR4 RAM and up to 256 GB of expandable storage. The storage standard is eMMC 5.1. Documented measurements list 111,000 in AnTuTu v9, 164 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 744 in multi-core; these are available test figures, not tests performed by NeoTeo.
The 6,500 mAh Li-Ion battery supports 44 W fast charging and reverse charging. The camera setup consists of a 50 Mpx main camera, a 2 Mpx depth camera and a 5 Mpx front camera. The main camera records 1080p at 30 fps, but optical image stabilization is not provided. Android 16, five years of OS update support, stereo speakers, Dual Nano-SIM, USB Type-C, dual-band Wi-Fi and 5G make it a practical fit for users who prioritize battery capacity and broad everyday connectivity.
