Smartphone maker Vivo today expanded its range of Y-series mobile phones. The company announced the new Vivo Y21e smartphone, which is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 680 chipset and has a 5,000 mAh battery inside. Vivo claims that the battery will provide users with “long hours of use”with every charge.
Vivo Y21e Price and Availability
Vivo will sell the phone for $176, although the maximum retail price (MRP) is $230, which could mean offline prices for the device will be significantly higher than online. While Vivo has confirmed that the phone will be available in its online store and retail stores in Diamond Glow and Midnight Blue colors.
Specifications and features of Vivo Y21e
In addition, Vivo Y21e is designed for users on a budget and has 3GB of RAM with 64GB of internal storage. The company also said that the phone will have 0.5 GB of expanded RAM, which should mean that half a gigabyte of internal memory is reserved for virtual memory, which is used to store temporary files and increase the phone’s overall RAM capacity. However, it’s not clear how much the 0.5GB RAM difference will affect performance.
In addition, Vivo Y21e is equipped with a 6.51-inch built-in HD+ Halo Full View display, and a 5000mAh internal battery supports 18W fast charging. It also offers reverse charging and runs on FunTouch OS 12, the company’s own operating system, which also includes a software feature, MultiTurbo 5.0, designed to boost the phone’s overall performance.
In terms of design, the Vivo Y21e is 8mm thick and has a 2.5D flat frame. It weighs 182 grams and has a 13MP rear camera and a 2MP macro sensor. The front camera, on the contrary, has a resolution of 8 megapixels. The rear camera supports HDR resolution and has a personalized portrait mode.
The company also said that the Vivo Y21e will be manufactured in India at the company’s Greater Noida plant in the metropolitan area.
