The vivo Y21e is a 4G smartphone designed to keep up with everyday life, with long battery life, a durable design, and essential features for communication, entertainment, and photography. Its combination of a smooth display, 50 MP main camera, and IP68/IP69 protection makes it a well-balanced option for those seeking reliability and ease of use.
Screen
Its 6.68-inch LCD screen offers a resolution of 1608 × 720 pixels and a refresh rate of up to 90 Hz, delivering smoother scrolling through apps and web pages. The panel reaches up to 1,000 nits in HBM mode, helping improve visibility outdoors.
Battery and charging
The 5,200 mAh battery is built to last through long days of use. 44 W FlashCharge technology restores power quickly, while USB Power Delivery support allows charging at between 10 and 44 W.
The power adapter is not included in the standard packaging for this variant, although a USB cable is supplied.
Performance
The Unisoc T7225 octa-core processor delivers reliable performance for messaging, browsing, social media, media playback, and other everyday tasks. The Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15 system provides a modern interface and a range of customization tools.
It also supports expansion with a microSD card of up to 2 TB, using a slot separate from the two SIM cards.
Camera
The rear camera combines a 50 MP main sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and a 0.08 MP auxiliary sensor. It includes modes such as night photography, portrait, slow motion, time-lapse, panorama, documents, professional mode, and underwater photography.
The front features a 5 MP camera, suitable for video calls, selfies, and facial recognition supported by the device's software.
Design and durability
The vivo Y21e has IP68 and IP69 certifications, which attest to its resistance to dust, controlled immersion in fresh water, and high-pressure water jets under laboratory conditions. It has also received a five-star SGS drop-resistance certification.
Water and dust resistance may decrease with normal wear. It should not be used as a professional underwater device or charged while wet.
Connectivity
The handset supports two Nano SIM cards simultaneously, while leaving the dedicated microSD card slot free. It includes 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, NFC, USB-C, OTG, and GPS, Galileo, GLONASS, BeiDou, and QZSS positioning systems.
It also features a side-mounted fingerprint reader, an electronic compass, and stereo speakers. It does not have a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
