Vivo Y21 5G Expert View
7.2/10
big battery life, 120Hz display, expandable storage, IP65 protection
weak selfie camera, HD+ display, average performance
Vivo Y21 5G is a basic budget 5G smartphone focused mainly on battery life and essential features. The 6500 mAh battery is a strong advantage, easily lasting more than a day for normal users. The 120Hz display adds smoothness, but the HD+ resolution reduces sharpness compared to competitors. Performance is average with the Dimensity 6300, suitable for daily tasks but not ideal for gaming. The camera setup is very basic, especially the 5MP selfie camera, which feels outdated. Overall, it's a practical option for users who want long battery life and 5G support at a lower price.
