The balance between autonomy, screen and photography, framed by an aesthetic design, seems a dream materialized in the VIVO V21 5G. For a couple of weeks we tested the new V21 5G, and we discovered a smartphone with a lot of personality that takes the best selfies. The final verdict: a perfectly balanced smartphone that stands out from the mid-range for its impressive selfies and portraits.
This smartphone integrates a rarely achieved balance between design, battery and screen. It is not common to find a balance between everything you want and expect in a phone, no 44 MP front camera with stabilizer in mid-range and no double flash; but this is precisely the case of LIVE V21 5G.

Opening a new phone is like unwrapping the gift you expect and that is the experience you will get with the new one. VIVO V21 5G, because it has everything you expect in a smartphone mid-range and also integrates features of a high-end phone.
When you open the box you will find the charger, the charging cable, headphones, an adapter and a transparent cover. When unwrapping the new V21 5G you will see a gradient color scheme that, upon movement, turn into litmus … beautiful.
LIVE called Sunset Dazzle or “sunset dazzle” to this color variant that the brand describes as “a backdrop of silently moving blushing clouds, where the glorious sun sinks lower, ready to meet the distant ocean.” This color is achieved in a matte anti-reflective glass structure on which fingerprints are hardly marked. This texture is surrounded by rounded corner frames in a metallic finish which gives it a luxurious look.
At the top of the frame there are a secondary microphone, in the right frame you will only find a couple of buttons: the first of textured on / off for you to identify and to one side the volume; and at the bottom are the trays for the SIM and micro SD card and the speaker.
At the back of the VIVO V21 5G is the camera module with Vivo’s classic design and brand branding. On the screen you will see a small notch at the top and the pre-applied protector that it comes with. The device itself is slim and very light.
Nothing will go unnoticed, VIVO V21 5G captures the best selfies and portraits
As you may have noticed, we are impressed with the capture capabilities and the 44 MP front camera results of the new LIVE V21 5G. The little drop notch houses what we consider to be the best selfie camera.
In the 44 MP front camera, the new V21 5G integrates front flash and optical stabilizer, something rarely seen in a mid-range device. In fact, The VIVO V21 is the world’s first smartphone with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) technology, which ensures your selfies stay brighter and clearer, even in the dark.
For its part, the rear panel has three cameras: the main 64 MP with optical stabilization in Full HD resolution, 8 MP ultra wide angle and 2 MP macro. And as if that weren’t enough, it includes portrait mode to make capturing even easier.
Night photography is excellent, respect the textures, and in the image result you will obtain a high degree of detail because it keeps noise at bay, which is very complicated on a phone as opposed to a professional camera.
The main camera of the VIVO V21 5G Capture images with a lot of detail, and in a simple way, because it has a “super resolution” mode to reach the maximum capacity of 64 MP. The new VIVO captures 4K video, with a very fast focus, so you only have to say: “Lights, camera and action” to record your videos in 4k with automatic stabilizer.
Immediate response display
The screen of the Vivo V21 5G is a 6.44-inch Amoled panel, with a 90HZ soda cup, with the ability to reproduce content from HDR10 +.
You will be able to enjoy a very vivid reproduction from any angle and you can adjust the colors and brightness. By interacting with the screen you will get an immediate response, for example, you can turn it on with a double tap after enabling the option in the settings, which is very convenient.
But the immediate response capacity is appreciated above all at the biometric level. You can unlock the VIVO V21 5G with fingerprint sensor on the first try, and it also has Immediate facial unlocking, even in low light.
Funtouch OS 11.1 software
V21 5G device is powered by Funtouch OS 11.1, and we were able to verify that this software works very well. If I had to choose a single word, I would say that the best thing is its simplicity, since it has a stable and constant support, which makes it useful, practical and safe software.
Funtouch OS 11.1 introduces a new icon set to add a visual plus to your on-device experience. For example, personalization includes access to settings, widgets, and wallpapers with just a short press of the screen.
Later, in settings you will find the dynamic effects, as an ambient light effect; animation when unlocking; fingerprint icon animation when unlocking; facial recognition animation; and charging animation, when inserting USB, and when turning the screen on and off.
Also, through the VIVO iManager app you can see the performance of the phone, manage applications, clean and delete applications.
Battery and RAM for a while
The new VIVO V21 5G integrates a 4000 mAh battery, which provides autonomy for up to two days on and between 8 and 10 hours at maximum use. Also has 33V fast charge and energy consumption management.
The VIVO V21 offers an 8GB RAM system to gain extra speed, as well as an “Ultra Game mode” that will be activated automatically in those games that we pre-configure on the device.
This way gaming is quite useful in smartphones because it allows configure settings to enhance the gaming experience on your device, such as sound, notifications or the use of buttons.
As you can see we loved the new VIVO V21 5G detail by detail, from aesthetics to mode gamingthrough screen response, visual animations, battery performance, and of course impressive selfie and portrait capturing capabilities.
