Editorial report

vivo Y21t technical sheet

The vivo Y21t suits anyone looking for a straightforward everyday phone with a large display and a battery with more capacity than most phones launched around the same time. Its 6.58-inch display has a density of 401 ppi, higher than that of most phones from its period. It is also lighter and thinner than most: it weighs 182 g and measures 8 mm thick. The display uses IPS LCD technology and has a 90 Hz refresh rate.

The 5,000 mAh battery has more capacity than those in most phones launched around the same time, and supports 18 W charging. The camera is a weaker point against phones of its time: the 50 MP camera’s 1/2.76-inch sensor is smaller than those in most phones launched in the same period. The configuration shown pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; that RAM capacity is lower than what most phones of its time offer. Storage is expandable. The processor is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680, and the operating system is Android 11.

Overall, the vivo Y21t combines a sharp display, low weight and a battery capacity that exceeds that of most phones from its period. Its clearest compromises are the RAM capacity and camera sensor size. Its overall NeoScore is 4.8, typical of phones launched around the same time. It is a reasonable fit for someone who prioritizes those strengths and can accept the two limitations.
