Vivo Y21d

Are you looking for a budget vivo smartphone that still have flagship features? Then you might want to take a look at the Vivo Y21d!

Vivo Y21d Overview

Design and Display

Starting off with the design, the minimalistic design of Y21d looks pretty decent for a budget phone. You’re getting a composite plastic back that comes in Coral Red and Jade Green color. For its weight, it weighs around 209 grams and 8.39mm thick which is pretty hefty because of all the protection they’ve crammed in.

Moving on with the display, the 6.68-inch LCD display has a 90Hz refresh rate and can hit 1000 nits peak brightness in HBM. The resolution is 1608×720, which gives you 264 PPI.

Performance and Battery

The Y21d runs on the T7225 processor, which is basically a rebranded Unisoc T612. This chip typically scores around 250,000-270,000 in AnTuTu.

Furthermore, this chip is paired with 6/8 GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB eMMC 5.1 storage which can be expandable up to 2TB. The phone also features a massive 6500mAh battery with 44W fast charging.

Camera and the rest

The camera setup here is a 50MP main shooter with f/1.8 aperture and a 0.08MP depth sensor. The front camera is 5MP.

The device features IP68/ IP69+ rating that looks interesting on this device, as they seem to have given in for other counterparts. The triple-layer water-resistant structure and foam sealing adhesive makes what vivo calls Y21d an “anti-drop phone.” According to vivo, they’ve done extensive testing with “42,000 drop tests and 10,000 USB port insertions.” Another thing to look out is the Guardian Glass protection. They claim it offers over 100% puncture resistance against sharp objects and better drop resistance on rough surfaces.
