Vivo Y21T Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos
Vivo Y21T Overview
Vivo Y21T - when compromises turn into disadvantages
The Chinese company Vivo knows how to create balanced smartphones, which are difficult to find fault with, but sometimes even the recognized masters have mistakes. So, a well-known developer tried to reduce the cost of the hero of the review to a low-average cost category, but some simplifications became critical.
The appearance of the device turned out to be, at least, controversial. Not the narrowest bezels of the OGS-screen and the design of the 8-megapixel front camera straight from 2018 are unlikely to please the sophisticated audience, but the back panel is good due to interesting colors and the camera unit borrowed from the flagships. If it were also made of glass, not scratch-prone plastic ... The fingerprint scanner has found its place on the side, this is a stylish and practical solution. The 6.58-inchIPS display has done without a trace of savings. The high refresh rate of the picture at 90Hz , the FullHD + resolution, good brightness and contrast values will make the pastime with the gadget in question comfortable and enjoyable.
Selection of technical characteristics is less successful. The QualcommSnapdragon680 CPU is essentially a slightly improved version of the outdated 665 chip, so a processor even with 4GB ofRAM and an Adreno 610 video adapter is not able to please with smooth playback of Genshin Impact, Fortnite or other resource-intensive games. The bundle copes with the Android 11 interface more successfully, lags are very rare. Energy efficiency has also improved, so you only need to charge a 5000mAh battery once a couple of days. The size of the internal memory also inspires respect, brought up to 128GB ofROM . A slot for MicroSD cards is also provided.
The main 50-megapixel Samsung JN1 photo sensor is suitable for daytime photo shoots, and it does evening photos with dignity. Night mode reduces the amount of noise, allows you to capture even small details, without an abundance of smudges. But the video photomodule writes mediocre in its smoothness and detail. Auxiliary 2-megapixel sensors are installed solely for beauty, their capabilities are extremely limited. The orientation of the device to the Chinese market influenced both the software (untranslated applications) and the lack of contactless payment NFC, FDD LTE B20, without which the functioning of 4G networks in Europe and the CIS will not always be stable. Residents of these states are better off looking at analogs at a similar price, which have global versions and sometimes differ in even better functionality and performance.
