The vivo V21s 256GB is Vivo's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.44 inches, 100.0 cm2 (~84.7% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Mediatek Dimensity 800U (7 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4000 mAh battery. At AED 1,100 in the UAE and ₹27,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The vivo V21s 256GB excels with its 44MP main camera featuring OIS, delivering stable low-light shots, and 33W wired charging that replenishes 63% in 30 minutes — rare at this price. Its 5G support across bands 1, 3, 7, 8, 28, 40, 41, and 78 ensures future-proof connectivity in UAE and India. The 4000mAh battery and 1080x2404 OLED display offer reliable daily use. Ideal for urban professionals needing fast charging and reliable 5G without flagship costs. Weakness: the Dimensity 800U struggles under sustained gaming loads, throttling after 15 minutes of intense use. In UAE at AED 1100, it’s competitive because no other 5G phone under AED 1200 offers OIS and 33W charging. In India at ₹27999, it’s overpriced — the Redmi Note 12 Pro+ offers better thermals, 120Hz display, and 120W charging for ₹26999. Skip if you game often.
