Vivo has recently announced the Vivo V21 5G and Vivo V21e 5G smartphones in India. In the past few months, the handset was spotted at the Geekbench benchmarking site and Google Play Console. Now, it has appeared on the AI benchmarking platform.

The upcoming Vivo V21 SE’s AI benchmark listing reveals that it is powered by the Snapdragon 720G processor and 8 GB of RAM. The device is expected to come loaded with Android 11 OS. The handset was spotted with the same specs at Geekbench. However, instead of the V21 SE moniker, the device had appeared with the V2061 model number at Geekbench.

The Google Play Console listing of the phone had revealed that the Vivo V21 SE supports a Full HD resolution and a 440ppi pixel density. The listing also carried an image of the phone, which revealed that it has a punch-hole display. At present, there is no information on the camera specifications of the V21 SE.

The Vivo V21 SE will be replacing the Vivo V20 SE from last year. The V20 SE has a 6.44-inch AMOLED FHD+ display with an in-screen fingerprint scanner, a 32-megapixel front camera, and a 48-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (depth) triple camera system.

The V21 SE has a 4,100mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging. It is also powered by the Snapdragon 720G chip and 8 GB of RAM. It comes with 128 GB of built-in storage and a microSD card slot for more storage. It seems that the V21 SE may arrive with better cameras as compared to the predecessor model.

A potentially new smartphone by Vivo, the V21 SE has been spotted on the Geekbench database. The Geekbench listing is a sequel to an earlier mention of the Vivo V21 SE on Google Play Console in which some of the specifications of the upcoming smartphone were stated. The device is listed with the model number Vivo V2061. The listing has also provided additional performance metrics and specifications of the upcoming Vivo V21 SE.

The device with the stated model number Vivo V2061 garnered 553 and 1697 points, respectively, in the single-core and multi-core tests. The smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm’s octa-core Snapdragon processor, whose codename corresponds to the Snapdragon 720G.

In addition, the smartphone will have 8GB of RAM (same as the Google Play Console listing), and it will run on Android 11 together with the FunTouchOS. We already know that the V21 SE’s display will have a 1080×2400 pixel resolution and 440PPI pixel density. There are indications that the V21 SE will have a 6.58-inch IPS LCD, a dual-camera system with a 48MP primary camera.

The V21 SE will equally pack a 5,000mAh battery with the possibility of 18W fast charging. We also expect Vivo to come up with a couple of variants of the V21 SE in terms of RAM and internal storage.

Vivo recently released two smartphones from the V21 series in selected countries. The company has not provided any official communication on the possible date of release of the V21 SE, neither have they provided pricing information for the smartphone. We would expect that more details and specifications about the upcoming V21 SE will become available as we move closer to the eventual unveiling of the smartphone.

  • However, this launch might skipped to next month as well so take this with a pinch of salt.

• Vivo V21 series

  • Vivo V21 series was rumored to come before in India but that hasn’t happened yet. The company had other ideas and brought a flagship X60 series to the country. However, it could soon launch one of the supposed members of the V21 series- Vivo V21 SE.
  • Reports reveal that it could be a rebadged version of the iQOO U3 which means it could come with a Dimensity 800U chipset with 5G support. Let’s hope that Vivo doesn’t skip any further.

• Oppo A74 4G & 5G, A94 & A54 5G

  • OPPO is said to bring the remaining devices of the OPPO Axx series and it might happen this month. The company has already unveiled the OPPO A54 4G version already. Next in line could be the OPPO A74, A54, and A94 5G models.

  • However, anything can happen in between so let’s hope that Huawei turns tables to come back stronger.

Vivo is gearing up to launch the Vivo V20 Pro 5G smartphone in India. Speculations have it that the handset may go official on Dec. 2 in the country. While Vivo fans are waiting for the smartphone, a new report by 91mobiles claims that the company has already started working on the Vivo V21 series.

Based on the Vivo V20 series, the publication has speculated that the lineup may include phones like the Vivo V21, Vivo V21 SE, and Vivo V21 Pro.

Those who are waiting for the Vivo V20 Pro 5G can pre-order it through offline stores. The handset is expected to arrive with a price tag of Rs 29,990.
