Vivo Y21d launched in Nepal with IP69+ Rating and 6500mAh Battery

September 17, 2025

Vivo just dropped the Y21d in Nepal. It’s a budget smartphone that Vivo is going all-in on the rugged phone angle. You’re getting IP69+ water resistance, military-grade drop protection, and a massive 6500mAh battery. Now, let’s jump in this article will discuss everything about the latest Vivo Y21d, including its price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Vivo Y21d Overview

Design

Starting off, 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. At 209 grams and 8.39mm thick, it’s pretty hefty, and not lightweight because of all the protection they’ve crammed in.

The IP68/ IP69+ rating looks interesting on this device, as they seem to have given in for other counterparts. We’re talking about a phone that can sit underwater at 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. 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.

Display

The 6.68-inch LCD display has a 90Hz refresh rate and can hit 1000 nits peak brightness. The resolution is 1608×720, which gives you 264 PPI. It should be decent for basic use, but when you compare it to that gorgeous 1.5K AMOLED panel on the Infinix Hot 60 Pro, it will certainly feels extremely ordinary. The dual stereo speakers can also apparently provide “400% volume boost” here.

Performance and Software

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. To put this in perspective, the Infinix Hot 60 Pro in the same price range packs a Helio G99, which is significantly more powerful. Even the Galaxy A07 at a much cheaper price comes with a Snapdragon 685. The T7225 feels like a step backward when competitors are offering much better silicon.

It’s running Android 15 with Funtouch OS 15, so at least you’re getting current software. But, to be honest Vivo’s UI has never been its strong suit, and that hasn’t changed much here.

Camera and Battery

The camera setup here is standard budget fare. You’re getting a 50MP main shooter with f/1.8 aperture and a 0.08MP depth sensor. The front camera is 5MP. Vivo’s been marketing the underwater photography feature, which I am doubtful if it will catch any significant eyes.

The phone also features a massive 6500mAh battery with 44W fast charging. But since, in an era where silicon-carbon batteries are letting companies pack huge capacities, this still doesn’t make it a headliner (see Redmi 15 4G with 7000 mAh battery).
