Earlier this week, the vivo V21 series made its global debut in Malaysia. The lineup includes three smartphones, namely vivo V21, vivo V21 5G, and vivo V21e. As scheduled, the company has now launched the vivo V21 5G in India as well.

vivo V21 5G Specifications and Features

The vivo V21 5G is a selfie-centric smartphone with a boxy design. The handset flaunts a 6.44-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a resolution of 2404 × 1080 pixels, a 90Hz refresh rate, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and a dewdrop notch.

It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC coupled with 8GB RAM and an optional 3GB virtual RAM that can be enabled or disabled as per requirement. The device comes with 128GB/256GB internal storage with support for expansion via a MicroSD card slot.

The main highlight of this phone is its 44MP selfie camera equipped with OIS. Whereas, the rear camera setup on this handset includes a 64MP primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro shooter.

On the connectivity front, the device supports dual-SIM, 5G, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 5.1, and GNSS (GPS, BEIDOU, GALILEO, GLONASS).

Vivo has unveiled its mid-range V21 series smartphones in Malaysia, each signposted with an excellent camera setup and other nice features. The models include the Vivo V21, V21 5G, and V21e and they are touted to have among the best selfie cameras found on mid-rangers in the market.

The three models feature an exact triple rear camera system highlighted by a 64MP main OIS-enabled camera. They each have an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera and a 2 MP macro setup. The front and the rear cameras are capable of split-screen shots.

The V21 and the V21 5G are powered by Dimensity 800U chipset, but the V21 5G has 5G capability and a few connectivity differences. You can get up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage for the devices. The V21e, on the other hand, runs on a Snapdragon 720G chipset, a bit different from the first two models in the series.

The V21 and V21 5G offer a 44MP selfie camera with autofocus capabilities and a few added features like OIS and EIS, providing high-quality output while watching videos via the device. With a decent refresh rate, the display is capable of showing 4K videos and a 90Hz refresh rate. The dual-LED flash on both devices works together with the OIS selfie camera for excellent output. The LED also helps produce excellent photo and video content in the dark, combined with the AI Night portrait mode. The autofocus mode present in the models is also an innovation that is not even present in some high-end models.

The Vivo V21e comes with a 44MP front camera with autofocus capability and OIS absent. The dual-LED flash is absent from the V21e, but Night Portrait and Super Night Selfie modes present. The three Vivo smartphones each come with a 4,000 mAh battery and 33W fast charging support.

As for the price, the Vivo V21 will cost around  MYR 1,600 (~$390), and the V21e costs about MYR 1,200 (~$293). The 5G V21 will not be released in Malaysia. The models will become available in a few days in select parts of the world as the global rollout unfolds. India is expected to see the models on April 29.
