For those looking to buy a simple smartphone for basic tasks, Vivo has come up with an update to one of its most affordable series. The Vivo Y21 received not only a large, bright screen and a powerful battery, but also contactless payment support. Let’s get to know her better.
The Vivo Y21 is a mid-range smartphone that includes a good structure, a reliable (albeit cheap) design, good cameras, and a battery life of 5000 mAh. Let’s see in detail what it is.
Although the Vivo Y21 is positioned as a budget device, the smartphone looks decent. He received a modern design without rounding and with a wide side. edges. Due to the flat side walls and a weight of 182 grams, the device sits firmly in the hand and does not slip. It comes in a cardboard box with a laconic two-tone design. It includes a transparent, flexible protective case and a charger with a maximum output power of 18W.
The body of the Vivo Y21 is made of plastic. At the same time, the back panel shines with an intricate pattern of a mirror substrate. So at least the design option, which was called “Brilliant Shine,” seems. On sale is also a “Metallic Blue” without a geometric pattern. In other words, the hero of the review turned out to be spectacular. The front glass and the back received an oleophobic coating, the finger slides more easily and the fingerprints are easier to erase.
The rear camera is designed as a massive black block. On a slim body, it looks a bit strange. The thickness of the device is really small—about 8 mm, not including the protruding lenses. There is also a 3.5mm audio output, for which we got a separate license from the manufacturer.
Both mechanical buttons are located on the same side of the case, without accidental pressing. The lock key has a built-in fingerprint sensor. It works quickly and almost never fails, although the scanner has a fairly small area. There is also a facial recognition feature. It copes with its task in daylight and artificial light, but not in the dark. In the end, a triple card slot is embedded at the top, where you can immediately install two nano-SIMs and a drive. The rest of the elements are located on the bottom: a conversational microphone, a type C connector, a speaker, and a 3.5mm audio output for wired headphones. The ergonomics did not disappoint us: it is convenient to use the Vivo Y21.
The screen of the Vivo Y21 is made with IPS technology. Its resolution is low (720×1600 pixels), so a slight “roughness” is clearly visible in the icon fonts. and outlines. The screen has a modest pixel density with a diagonal of 6.5 inches and only 270 PPI.
However, there are no complaints about brightness or color rendering. The brightness at the maximum level reaches 460 nits, which allows you to read text on instant messengers and websites in daylight. For those who do not like the oversaturated AMOLED palette, and even more so, avoid PWM, the IPS matrix is a dignified alternative.
The Vivo Y21 is equipped with a dual-camera module. An additional sensor plays only an auxiliary role, and the main one received very simple features—a 13 MP sensor and a lens with an aperture of f/2.2. However, Vivo tried to bring the quality of the shots to a decent level. After all, software processing often means nothing less than technical equipment.
The main module produces surprisingly clear and colorful images with good contrast and volume. Overexposed areas hardly spoil the overall image. Also, it looks better than blocking in the shadows and a dark image, which cheap cameras err on the side of. The optics are clean and of high quality, so there are no smudges or blurs, even at the edges of the frame. The Vivo Y21’s photos are better than most of its competitors at the corresponding level. The device’s selfie camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels and an aperture of f/2.0: it produces good self-portraits but no more.
Things are worse with video. The quality is unpretentious and, due to the lack of stabilization, the image shakes on the fly. The camera can record videos It has a maximum resolution of 1080p at a frame rate of 30fps. There is no 4K or 60fps.
The Vivo Y21 is powered by an octa-core SoC, announced in December 2018 and manufactured using 12-nanometer process technology. It has 4 Cortex-A53 cores at 2300 MHz and four Cortex-A53 cores at 1800 MHz. RAM: 4 GB. The built-in storage capacity is 64 GB. The memory type is LPDDR4X and the drive is eMMC 5.1. With the help of microSD cards, you can increase this volume, and RAM also has the function to expand the memory by another 1 GB.
In the AnTuTu test, the result barely exceeds 100 thousand points (for the best processors, this figure is now at the level of 700 thousand and above; for average processors, it is about 350). So the platform of the Vivo Y21 belongs to the entry-level. Sometimes there are slowdowns in the interface. The smartphone is suitable for casual games, and it will be possible to play more productive games only at a low graphics level.
The device is equipped with communication capabilities to the same extent as any modern “middle peasant”. There is support for both Wi-Fi bands, Bluetooth 5.0, and even the most common frequencies among Russian telecom operators. Of course, there is no support for 5G and Wi-Fi 6, but the built-in NFC module allows you to pay for contactless purchases, and the GPS A modem picks up the signal from the satellites of the three most popular systems. At the same time, there is no gyroscope among the built-in sensors.
All of this works on the Android 11 software platform in the Funtouch 11.1 shell. The interface is functional and rich in options, but there are particular moments in it. For example, it is inconvenient to call and then close the macro mode in the camera menu, for which you need to click on the microscopic pop-up cross. However, you can get used to it. In general, the interface is packed with everything you need and free from annoying ads. Instead of the official Google app store and a set of services.
The Vivo Y21 has a built-in 5000 mAh battery. Considering that it is not the latest MediaTek platform and the modest screen resolution, autonomy is balanced. It doesn’t break records, but there’s nothing to complain about either. The charge will last approximately 12 hours of HD video playback at 200 nits. In games, the device drains the battery in eight hours.
The battery fully charges in 2 hours with the included charger, with a maximum power output of 18 watts. Wireless charging is not supported, but there is a reverse charging function. That is, a smartphone can serve as a power bank for other devices.

The Vivo Y21 (4 + 64GB) variant is available in Bangladesh at a cost of 15,990 TK. You can also find it on the official Vivo store and in authorized stores in Bangladesh.
What we have before us is an entry-level smartphone that provides only a basic set of features. This is not a gaming or multimedia device, but rather a This is a nice budget phone with a large screen and a large capacity battery. Furthermore, the Vivo Y21 takes good photos for its price and also supports a contactless payment option. If what you are looking for is economy, basic functions, and a decent camera, this equipment is for you.
