Design

It is a mid-range smartphone with a symmetrical design, having a flat AMOLED screen with a tiny punch hole and accompanying a Gorilla Glass 5. The In-display Fingerprint is easier to reach and operates faster. Weighing in at 176 grams, V21 5G appreciates one-handed usage. There is a USB Type C letting you sync battery power to other devices. All you would find on the back is a Triple Camera setup, oriented vertically. Color choices are Dusk Blue and Sunset Dazzle.

Sorry to say that V21 is not getting a Metal body (plastic, despite being a mid ranger) and no audio jack.

Display

While screening, Vivo V21 5G is more than okay with a 90Hz refresh rate (works better for graphical frames). Browsing is even easier, thanks to a 20 by 9 wide angle display of 6.44 inches. There are low or high brightness levels i.e. 500 nits (typ) and 750 nits (peak). The maximum brightness stage works well for outdoors and sunlight cases.

Camera

V21 5G clicks 4k shots, thanks to 64MP main camera. You can take enhanced low light photos, as it has wider f/1.8 aperture. Also, there are AI filters like Bokeh and Beauty mode that made photography fun. Contrast and color saturation define pictures well, but you have to tolerate Full HD large file size. For ultrawide shots, there is an 8MP lens with a 120 degree field of view. The third lens is a 2MP macro for close-ups, yet not expect extraordinary.

The downside of camera is the lack of Optical/Electrical Image Stabilization support for video recording. Also, Edge Detection is failed in some cases like contour of ears and hair follicles.

Coming to the selfie side, V21 brings a 44MP front facing camera of f/2.0 aperture. The results are pretty nice. When using AI filters, keep Beauty mode at 40%, otherwise you would look like a doll or an animated one.

Software

Android 11, wrapped in Funtouch 11.1, offers all modern features i.e. better navigation, dynamic media controls, built-in screen recorder, greater control over conversation, notification history (recalling cleared notifications), and temporary permission for apps for a better privacy. An amazing feature is a Schedule Dark Theme. As the name shows, it lets you choose when your V21 5G should adapt to Dark mode.

Chipset

Though not a top-line Snapdragon, V21 5G’s Dimensity 800U is offering 5G connectivity and much better performance than the average Qualcomm SoCs. With a 6nm processor, V21 5G achieved 343,150 AnTuTu v9 scores. You have two storage options, 128GB and 256GB. No other variant but 8GB RAM one. Choose in accordance with your need, either you are regular gamer, heavy game player, or a multi tasker.

A 4000mAh battery endures a full working day on multimedia. Get it lasted for a day on Talk Time, while gaming the handset can't keen on lights entire day. Connect a 33W Fast Charge, and get the V21 recharged up to 100% within 40 minutes.

Verdict

Vivo V21 is a nice option if you can compromise on MediaTek chip. If not, there are other alternatives like Poco X3 GT and Reno6 5G etc.
