Editorial report
vivo Y21a technical sheet
The vivo Y21a may suit someone looking for a straightforward Android phone in a relatively light body. The trade-off is performance and camera hardware that fall short of most phones launched around the same time. Its MediaTek Helio P22 places the hardware among the weakest of its time, so this is not the pick for someone who prioritizes processing power. The 13 MP rear camera, with an f/2.2 aperture and no optical image stabilization, is also behind most contemporaries.
At 182 g and 8 mm thick, the phone is lighter and thinner than most phones of its time. Its available configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage, less than most contemporaries. The 6.51″ IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px and a density of 270 ppi, which is lower than on most phones launched around the same time. Curved glass and scratch resistance are also listed features.
A 5,000 mAh battery and 18 W charging are typical figures for its time. Connections include USB Type-C, dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0; it runs Android 11 with Google Services. Its overall NeoScore is 4.2. In short, the vivo Y21a is a better fit for buyers who value a slim, light body over strong performance or camera specifications.
