After a brief pre-order period, both the vivo V21 5G and V21e are now available in the Philippines. Both are packing AMOLED displays, 8GB + 3GB RAM, and triple camera setups with a 64MP main lens.
The vivo V21 5G comes with a Dimensity 800U 5G chip that allows for better performance and 5G connectivity. It also has 8GB + 3GB extended RAM in order for it to run more apps at once at consistently fast speeds.
It packs a 6.44-inch 2400 x 1080 AMOLED display running at 90Hz. A 4,000mAh battery with 33W Fast Charging powers the device and it runs on Android 11 with vivo’s FunTouch OS 11.1. Three cameras are at the back: a 64MP f1/.7 main lens, an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide, and a 2MP f/2.4 macro. Meanwhile, a 44MP f/2.0 lens is located at the front for better self-portraits and selfies.
