Vivo Y21 5G — Disadvantages

Cons

Our editorial view of this model’s strengths and limitations.

The 720×1600 resolution is a compromise in cost and power use. Small fonts and fine photo details will look less crisp than on Full HD+, and a large screen does not make up for that.

There is no dedicated telephoto camera in the listed setup. Zooming relies on digital cropping, so a high megapixel count on the main camera is not a substitute for optical zoom.

The port uses USB 2.0. That does not prevent fast charging, but transferring a large video library to a computer is slower than on USB 3 phones. Keep this in mind if you frequently move large files over a cable.

How do we assess advantages and disadvantages?

Our editorial assessment draws on specifications, manufacturer documentation and available material about the model. It does not imply our own laboratory testing. We distinguish physical RAM from virtual expansion; features and box contents can vary by market. Reference prices are conversions; check the store for the final price of an offer.
