Verdict
Vivo V21 5G mainly focuses on selfie enthusiasts with its 44MP camera that even supports OIS. Rest of the device looks underwhelming for its price, especially with the MediaTek Dimensity 800U chipset on offer. You have 8GB RAM and 128GB storage that is expandable but only at the expense of second SIM. The rear cameras offer average results and the battery life could be better. Go for the V21 5G only if you are fond of clicking selfies and have money to spend.
