After the release of the Vivo V23 series in India and their latest addition to the lineup with the Vivo V23e, the brand has now reportedly slashed the prices of its Y73, V21e, and V21 models.

According to a 91mobiles report, offline retail sources have informed that the brand has issued a newly revised MOP for the smartphones that will be effective from March 15th i.e from today. For now, the price cut seems to be limited to offline stores only as the Y73, V21e, and V21 models are still selling at their original price on Flipkart.

Vivo V21, V21e, and Y73 new prices in India

The Vivo V21 which was previously priced at Rs 29,990 in India for the 8GB + 128 GB model will now cost Rs 27,990. Similarly, the 8GB + 256GB variant has also received a price cut of Rs 2000, bringing its price from Rs 32,990 to Rs 30,990.

The V21e which was priced at Rs 24,990 for the 8GB + 128GB model will now retail for Rs 23,990 in offline stores. Lastly, the Vivo Y73 has also received a Rs 1000 price cut, bringing its cost down from Rs 20,990 to Rs 19,990.

Vivo V21 5G specifications and features

Launched back in April 2021, the vivo V21 5G has 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). Unfortunately, the phone lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack but features all the essential sensors like an accelerometer, proximity sensor, compass, ambient light sensor, and gyroscope.

As far as software is concerned, the smartphone runs Funtouch OS 11.1 based on Android 11. Further, it draws power from a 4,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging via USB Type-C.

Vivo started to release devices with amazing selfie cameras and it is bringing them even to the global market. Earlier this year, the company launched the Vivo V21 5G coming with one of the best selfie cameras ever which includes OIS and a front-facing flash. Now, the Chinese giant came up with the first phone from the V23 series and it has another awesome selfie camera: we are talking about the Vivo V23e. While the Vivo V21 5G is a higher-end variant of the V21 series, the V23e is the entry-level model from the V23 lineup. So which one is better? This comparison between their specifications will hopefully let you find out.

Vivo V23e vs Vivo V21 5G

Design

The designs of these handsets do not differ too much. If we look at the front panel, they are almost impossible to distinguish from each other. But the Vivo V21 5G has a higher screen to body ratio, as well as slightly smaller dimensions. On the rear side, the only important difference regards the camera module: on the Vivo V23e, the cameras are arranged vertically, while the Vivo V21 5G has a more similar placement to the latest iPhones, more square-shaped and with cameras sporting different dimensions. Both the phones are built with polycarbonate and they do not offer premium materials, but they are very thin and lightweight.

Display

Do not get fooled by the fact that Vivo V23e is a more recent model: the best display belongs to the Vivo V21 5G. It is equipped with an AMOLED display sporting a diagonal of 6.44 inches, a 90 Hz refresh rate, and the HDR10+ certification. The Vivo V23e has an AMOLED display as well, but its refresh rate is standard and you do not get certifications indicating that its image quality is improved. Vivo V21 5G and V23e come with Full HD+ resolutions and an in-display fingerprint reader. The display diagonal is the same but, as said above, the V21 5G has a higher screen to body ratio that means narrower bezels around the display.

Hardware/Software

These phones are both mid-rangers, but the best hardware setup is provided by the Vivo V21 5G. The Mediatek Dimensity 800U found on the V21 5G is actually superior to the Mediatek Helio G96 of the V23e in terms of CPU and GPU performance. Further, it supports the 5G connectivity, while the Helio G96 does not. The RAM goes up to 8 GB, but you can get more internal storage if you choose the Vivo V21 5G: up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 native storage which you can furtherly expand through a micro SD slot. Both the handsets run Android 11 out of the box, but the Vivo V23e comes with Funtouch OS 12 providing more features and renewed look, while the V21 5G is still based on Funtouch OS 11.1.

Camera

The rear cameras of these two devices are exactly the same: a 64 MP main sensor with an f/1.8 focal aperture, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP macro camera. But the Vivo V21 5G is able to provide a better photo quality because it has OIS improving the stabilization. The Vivo V23e has a more powerful dual-LED flash, but having OIS is a more important added value, even in low light conditions. The most important aspect of these phones is the selfie camera. With the Vivo V21 5G, you get a whopping 44 MP front camera with OIS and a front-facing dual-LED flash. The Vivo V23e has an even more interesting sensor with a 50 MP resolution, but it lacks OIS and front-facing LED flash. Despite being older, the Vivo V21 5G wins the selfie comparison.

Battery

The Vivo V23e has a slightly bigger battery with a capacity of 4050 mAh (against just 4000 mAh), but the Vivo V21 5G can still provide a longer battery life because its processor is built with a better 7 nm production process. On the other hand, the Vivo V23e has a faster charging technology with 44W power, but you still get a high speed while charging the Vivo V21 5G thanks to a power of 33W.

Vivo V23e vs Vivo V21 5G: Price

The starting prices of Vivo V23e and V21 5G in the Asian market roughly translate into €330/$370 at the actual change, but the V21 5G has a wider availability and is available with better street prices because it is older. That is the reason why the Vivo V21 5G wins the value for money comparison while still providing a superior hardware and camera department.

Earlier this year, the Vivo V21 series was launched in India, and included the V21e and V21 5G. While the base variant was available in three colors, namely Sunset Dazzle, Arctic White, and Dusk Blue, a new report has suggested that the company is planning on launching a new color variant of the device.

According to a MySmartPrice report, the Chinese smartphone maker will be launching the budget premium grade smartphone that costs under 400 US Dollars in a new color variant in India. As per sources close to the matter, the company is aiming on launching a new Neon Spark color of the V21 5G. Notably, the report has also shared an official poster image of this new color option that showcases the upcoming variant.

Looking at this poster, the overall design of the V21 5G Neon Spark version is the same with just a new paint job.

Vivo unveiled the V21 5G smartphone back in April in the Indian market with impressive specs like a 44MP selfie camera, 33W fast charging, and Dimensity 800U SoC. Later the smartphone made it to the Malaysian market and today, it has landed in the UK at an attractive price. 

The Vivo V21 5G is available from Clove for £399 for the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. Notably, this is slightly higher than the Indian and Malaysian pricing. The Indian audience has received the 5G phone for ~£338, while the Malaysian unit’s price is ~£323. 

It can be picked up in two color variants – Sunset Dazzle and Dusk Blue. It is available in an unlocked variant with 2 years of warranty. 

Vivo V21 5G Smartphone Specifications 

The smartphone comes with a dewdrop notch display sporting a 6.44-inch screen. It is an AMOLED panel with a Full-HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The screen also doubles up as an in-display fingerprint scanner for added security. 

One of the major highlights of the device is the camera. The phone has a triple camera setup with a 64MP primary lens, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. Moving to the front, it has a 44MP single selfie camera. Interestingly, there’s OIS support in both the front camera and the primary rear sensor. 

At the helm, the device comes powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. We are not sure if the UK variant has 3GB of virtual RAM as the Indian model. As far as expandability is concerned, the phone has a dedicated microSD card slot for additional storage. 

The phone packs a 4,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support. It has a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer but unfortunately, it misses out on a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

A few days ago, Vivo renewed its midrange portfolio by launching a new series of selfie phones. The new lineup is composed of three devices: Vivo V21, Vivo V21 5G, and Vivo V21e. All of them share a very important feature in common: a stunning selfie camera. But they are a lot more than selfie phones. In this comparison between their specifications, you will learn for what these devices differ from each other as well as their pros and cons.

Vivo V21 vs Vivo V21 5G vs Vivo V21e

Design

At first glance, it looks like Vivo V21, V21 5G, and V21e have the same design, but it is not exactly the truth. The Vivo V21e is slightly less impressive because it comes with thicker bezels around the display, less elegant color variants, and a slightly different camera module. With the Vivo V21 and the V21 5G, you get a more compact design thanks to narrower bezels around the display. Vivo V21 and V21 5G have the same design, but the latter comes in an additional Arctic White color variant besides the Dusk Blue and the Sunset Dazzle color versions.

Display

Besides having the same design, Vivo V21 and V21 5G also share the same display panel. It is a great AMOLED panel with a diagonal of 6.44 inches, a 90 Hz refresh rate, a Full HD resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels, and the HDR10+ certification. They also feature an above-average 500 nit typical brightness. These are good features for a display, especially in the midrange segment. The Vivo V21e is inferior because it lacks a high refresh rate and it comes with the HDR10 certification instead of HDR10+. All the phones sport an in-display fingerprint scanner.

Hardware/Software

The Vivo V21 and the V21 5G feature the same chipset: we are talking about the Dimensity 800U by MediaTek. Despite that, only the V21 5G supports 5G connectivity. Further, the Vivo V21 5G has a better memory configuration including 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 internal storage. The Vivo V21e has inferior hardware and no 5G, but it still comes with a good chipset, suitable even for gaming: the Snapdragon 720G by Qualcomm. The phones run Android 11 out of the box, customized by Funtouch OS.

Camera

The killer feature of the Vivo V21 series is their astonishing 44 MP front camera: the world’s first selfie camera with OIS supported by dual-LED flash. The 44 MP front snapper is able to record 4K videos with OIS and shoot HDR photos as well. On the rear side, Vivo V21 and V21 5G feature a triple camera with a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide camera, a 2 MP macro camera, and OIS. The Vivo V21e has a 64 MP triple camera as well, but it lacks OIS.

Battery

Vivo V21, V21 5G, and V21e all come with a 4000 mAh battery supporting 33W fast charging. So you get a similar battery life, but consider that the Dimensity 800U found on V21 and V21 5G is built with a better 7 nm production process.

Vivo V21 vs Vivo V21 5G vs Vivo V21e: Price

Vivo V21 starts from €320/$390 in China, Vivo V21 5G is priced €340/$414 in its base variant, and Vivo V21e starts from €240/$292. Despite it is the most expensive one, the Vivo V21 5G offers a very high value for money: the price difference between the V21 5G and the V21 is minimum, but the former has 5G.

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.

The post Next Week in Tech: Redmi K40 Game Edition, Vivo V21 series, Samsung’s April Galaxy Unpacked event appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese smartphone maker vivo will be launching the vivo V21 series first in Malaysia next week. Now, the company has confirmed that it will be debuting the vivo V21 5G in India a couple of days later from the handset’s global debut.

The upcoming vivo V21 series will initially include two models, namely vivo V21 5G and vivo V21e. These two devices will be unveiled first in Malaysia on April 27. Similarly, the vivo V21 5G has been confirmed to launch in India on April 29. Interestingly, it will not be accompanied by the vivo V21e.

According to previous reports, the upcoming vivo V21 5G will flaunt a 6.44-inch E3 AMOLED display with a dewdrop notch, 800 nits peak brightness, and HDR10+ support. It will be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC coupled with 8GB RAM.

The phone will house a triple camera setup consisting of a 64MP primary sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultra-wide unit, and a 2MP macro shooter. Whereas, on the front, the smartphone will include a 44MP selfie camera with OIS.

On the software front, the vivo V21 5G will run Android 11 (Funtouch OS 11.x) and will be backed by a 4,000mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. Lastly, the device will measure 7.29mm in thickness, weigh 176g, and will be available in three colors (Sunset Dazzle, Dusk Blue, Arctic White).

The post vivo V21 5G India launch date is April 29 appeared first on Gizmochina.

On April 27, Vivo will be announcing the Vivo V21 5G and Vivo V21e smartphones in Malaysia. The company is likely to announce the Vivo V21 series in India on the same date or on April 29. Ahead of the launch, the alleged Vivo V21 5G smartphone has appeared in the database of the Geekbench benchmarking platform (via).

A new Vivo phone with model number V2050 has emerged at Geekbench. The listing states that it is powered by a MediaTek chip that has a model number of MT6853/TNZA. This chip appears to the Dimensity 800U chipset that has a base frequency of 1.80GHz. The V2050 has 8 GB of RAM and it runs on Android 11 OS. In the single-core test, the phone scored 538 points and it achieved 1586 in the multi-core test.

The leaked specs sheet of the Vivo V21 5G that emerged yesterday claimed that it is powered by the Dimensity 800U chip. Hence, it seems that the V2050 Vivo phone could be the upcoming Vivo V21 5G.

The device is expected to feature a 6.44-inch S-AMOLED E3 display that offers an FHD+ resolution, a 90Hz refresh rate, HDR10+, and 800nits brightness. It may flaunt a 44-megapixel selfie camera with OIS support, and its rear-mounted triple camera system may include a 64-megapixel main camera with OIS support, an 8-megapixel superwide lens, and a 2-megapixel macro camera.

The Vivo V21 5G may come with a 4,000mAh battery and 33W rapid charging support. Apart from 8 GB of RAM, it may offer users 3GB of extended RAM. It has a thickness of 7.29mm and weighs 176 grams. The V21 5G may cost around Rs 25,000 (~$331) and it may sell in hues like Sunset Dazzle, Dusk Blue, and Arctic White.

The post Alleged Vivo V21 5G with Dimensity 800U emerges in Geekbench database appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo is bringing the V21 series to Malaysia on April 27. And, it has confirmed today that V21 5G is coming to India too. Ahead of the launch, Sudhanshu on Twitter has posted the specs of the Vivo V21 5G.

Vivo India has now posted a teaser on Twitter confirming the Vivo V21 5G moniker for India. As per the poster image, the device will have a 44MP selfie camera with features like OIS-assisted night selfies.

Besides, Sudhanshu says that Vivo V21 5G will feature a Dimensity 800U chipset. This is a 5G chipset that we have been seeing on many devices like the recently launched OPPO F19 Pro+, OPPO A94, and even the realme Narzo 30 Pro.

If this is true, it’s a transition from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G on the Vivo V20 Pro 5G. However, just like the V20 Pro, the V21 5G is also said to skip the 3.5mm audio jack and feature a hybrid SIM slot for storage expansion.

Vivo included a 3.5mm jack to Type-C adapter in the box for the V20 Pro and we can expect the same for the Vivo V21 5G. As for the optics, we already know that it will have a 64MP triple-camera setup on the back.

Along with that, the V21 5G is said to have an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro sensor. Upfront, it will have a 44MP selfie shooter as mentioned above. Expected camera features include Eye Auto Focus (AF) on the selfie camera, OIS.

The Vivo V21 will also have memory fusion like RAM effect tech, dual-SIM 5G, and run Android 11 OS out of the box and we can expect Funtouch OS 11 UI on top. A report by Moneycontrol says that Vivo will initially bring only the V21 to India on April 27.

On the contrary, the Malaysian launch will have several devices like Vivo V21 4G, Vivo V21e along with the V21 5G. Another device, allegedly Vivo V21 SE, has appeared on the Google Play console but we will have to wait and see if it launches next week.

The post Vivo V21 5G confirmed for India, specs leaked before launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Vivo has been teasing the V21 series in Malaysia recently. Today, it has confirmed the launch date of the device in the country. Further, a report by Moneycontrol says that the devices will launch in India on the same date.

In a tweet, Vivo Malaysia has revealed that the Vivo V21 series will debut in the country on April 27. Similarly, as per the report, the company will likely launch the devices in India on the same date.

While Vivo India hasn’t confirmed the models, the company has revealed that the series will include Vivo V21 4G, V21 5G and V21e in Malaysia. On a microsite page, it has already revealed the features coming with the device.

The Vivo V21 series in Malaysia is said to have an AMOLED display with a teardrop notch upfront. And speaking of the front, the selfie camera will be a 44MP camera sensor and it will be assisted by two LED flashlights, OIS. The last time we saw the front-facing dual-LED flash was the Vivo S9 series in China.

On the back, we can expect two color variants and one of which will be a Blue color option. The Triple-camera setup will have a 64MP primary sensor with OIS. The camera layout, which reminds us of the iQOO 7 and Vivo X60 devices, has “AI camera” and “1.179-2.4 OIS” written beside the LED flash.

Under the hood, the Vivo V21 series is also said to a technology that is similar to the memory fusion we recently saw on iQOO Z3. Here, it will typically make a device with an 8GB RAM function like an 11GB version. That is, the additional 3GB RAM effect will be provided for mitigating the lags.

That said, it is worth noting that the Vivo V21 series was previously said to arrive with 5G to India before. However,  the report by Moneycontrol says that only the Vivo V21 model will land in India on April 27. And the other devices will arrive at a later date.

Additionally, the report says that the Vivo V21 selfie camera will have Eye Auto Focus (AF), and probably retail for under ₹25,000. Eye Auto Focus tracks the movement of the eyes to make sure if the object is inside the frame.

In related news, tipster Abhishek Yadav has shared posters of the V21 series for India. It appears that India will be receiving Vivo V21 4G and Vivo V21 5G smartphones. Both phones will carry support for OIS and dual front-firing flash. Vivo is yet to confirm the arrival of V21 models in India.

The post Vivo V21, V21e to launch soon in Malaysia, 44MP selfie camera and 64MP rear camera with OIS confirmed appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese smartphone maker vivo is expected to launch the vivo V21 series in the coming days. The vanilla model in the lineup called vivo V21 5G was recently certified in Indonesia. A few days later, this handset has cleared India’s BIS certification as well.

The upcoming vivo v21 series will be the successor to the vivo V20 series. For those unaware, the vivo V20 series includes a single 5G device called vivo V20 Pro 5G. Whereas, the vivo V21 series may include at least two 5G models.

That’s because the standard vivo V21 has been certified as a 5G smartphone in both Indonesia and India with model number V2050. Since the previous-gen Pro model is a 5G-ready device, we expect vivo V21 Pro to support 5G as well.

Further, the vivo V20 Pro 5G is a rebranded vivo S7 5G, which is sold in China. Hence, the vivo S9 5G could launch as vivo V21 Pro 5G. Similarly, we think that vivo S9e could be the vivo V21 5G.

Anyway, it is just speculation from our end. We are yet to come across any proof that could prove this theory. As of now, all we can say is that vivo V21 5G could release in Indonesia and India.

Last but not least, the vivo V21 series will reportedly include vivo S21 SE as well.

The post vivo V21 5G clears India’s BIS certification ahead of launch appeared first on Gizmochina.

Chinese smartphone maker vivo was tipped to launch the vivo V21 series in India in February. However, that never happened. But now, the upcoming vivo V21 5G finally appears on a certification bureau before going official.

The yet-to-release vivo V21 5G has been spotted on the Indonesia Telecom certification website. According to the listing, this phone will bear the model number V2050. Unfortunately, the listing does not any anything else about this handset.

As per the previous report, the vivo V21 series will include three devices, namely vivo V21, vivo V21 Pro, and vivo V21 SE. However, just like the certification, it also did not reveal anything about these upcoming phones.

As of now, we can only speculate on these handsets. Going by the previous generation, we can expect the vivo V21 Pro 5G to be a rebranded vivo S9. Because the vivo V20 Pro 5G is a rebadged vivo S7.

Also, as per Indonesia Telecom certification, the vivo V21 will be a 5G device, unlike its predecessor vivo V20. Hence, it could be the cheaper vivo S9e that was unveiled alongside the vivo S9 in China.

Anyway, as we mentioned earlier, this is merely speculation. We recommend you wait for more certifications and leaks to pop up in order to learn more about the forthcoming vivo V21 series.
