Editorial report

vivo Y21e technical sheet

The vivo Y21e suits buyers looking for a basic, lightweight smartphone who do not put camera quality or memory capacity first. At 182 g and 8 mm thick, it is lighter and thinner than most phones of its time. Its 6.51-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution and 270 ppi pixel density, lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. This version comes with 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, both below most contemporaries.

The Snapdragon 680 is paired with an octa-core CPU, and internal storage uses UFS 2.1. The 5,000 mAh battery supports 18 W charging and reverse charging. The battery overall compares better than most phones of its time, while its capacity and charging rate individually are typical figures. The 13 MP rear camera has lower resolution than most, and its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest of its time. It records video at 1080p and 30 fps. Overall, the vivo Y21e ranks worse than most phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 4.5. It is a straightforward choice for buyers who value low weight and a slim body more than camera specifications, ample memory or a high-density display.
