A Dimensity 800U 5G chipset pairs with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage here, enough headroom for multitasking and keeping a good chunk of apps and media installed without juggling external cards constantly. The 6.44-inch AMOLED screen runs at 90Hz with HDR10+ support, so scrolling feels smooth and content looks sharp at 409 ppi. vivo V21 5G 256GB price in Malaysia starts from RM1399.
The camera setup leans on a 64MP main sensor with OIS, backed by an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. What stands out more is the 44MP front camera, also stabilized with OIS, built for selfie and vlog shooters who want steadier 4K footage without a gimbal.
Battery capacity sits at 4000mAh with 33W fast charging, vivo claims 63% in half an hour. There's no NFC or headphone jack, so contactless payment and wired audio aren't part of the package, but you do get 5G, an under-display fingerprint sensor, and a slim 7.3mm build.
