Verdict
Vivo V21 5G can be recognised as a mid-range selfie phone that competes with better and capable devices. The device gets Dimensity 800 chipset which is easily available on phones that cost less. The design works in favour of the V21 5G but even then having a notch at this price is a big drawback. Add to that, you have no headphone jack, only 90Hz refresh rate offered and Hybrid SIM slot to expand storage. Vivo V21 5G only caters to the selfie enthusiasts, so if that's not your priority look elsewhere.
