Y21 5G technical sheet
The vivo Y21 5G focuses on broad connectivity, a large documented battery and extended software support. Its MediaTek Dimensity 6300 uses an octa-core CPU reaching 2.4 GHz, paired with 6 GB of LPDDR4X RAM and UFS 2.2 storage up to 256 GB. Storage expansion is supported. The connection list includes 5G, NFC, Bluetooth 5.4, dual-band Wi-Fi, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack, with Dual Nano-SIM and Dual SIM Dual Standby.
Its 6.74-inch IPS LCD runs at 120 Hz and reaches 1,200 nits peak brightness. The 720 × 1,600 px resolution works out to 260 ppi; the panel is listed as scratch resistant and uses curved glass. The Li-Ion 6,500 mAh battery supports 44 W fast charging and is specified for 1,600 charge cycles. Those figures describe the hardware, not a guaranteed real-world runtime.
The 50 MP main camera has an f/1.8 aperture, autofocus, HDR and digital image stabilization, but no optical image stabilization. The front camera is 5 MP. Android 16 and five years of OS update support make the phone more relevant to users who value software longevity. Its plastic body weighs 209 g and carries IP65 and MIL-STD-810H resistance features. The Y21 5G suits everyday users seeking 5G, high battery capacity and versatile connections; buyers prioritizing a denser display or OIS should account for its documented limitations.
