Editorial report

vivo Y21s 4 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The vivo Y21s suits anyone looking for a straightforward Android phone with expandable storage and a 5000 mAh battery. Its main trade-offs against phones of its time are the display and performance: 60 Hz is among the lowest refresh rates, 270 ppi is lower than on most contemporaries, and its performance is weaker than that of most phones launched around the same time.

The IPS LCD display measures 6.51 inches and has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px. It pairs 4 GB of RAM with the MediaTek Helio G80 and 128 GB of expandable storage. The 50 MP rear camera has an f/1.8 aperture and records video at 1080p at 30 fps; its camera standing is typical among phones of its time.

The battery supports 18 W charging and reverse charging. Other features include NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, USB Type-C and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor. At 182 g and 8 mm thick, it weighs less and is slimmer than most phones of its time. Its display and connectivity overall are typical, as is its overall standing: the NeoScore is 4.6. It is a reasonable fit for anyone who prioritizes expandable storage, a 5000 mAh battery and a relatively light body, and can accept a low-refresh-rate display and modest performance.
