Cons

  • Vivo has come a long way from a really messy and bloated skin
  • Always on Display technology is not supported
  • it does not support wireless charging
  • No stabilization is provided - neither optical nor electronic
  • Vivo has not worked seriously on upgrading the interface
  • Does vivo Y21 have wireless charging
  • lack of a dedicated Night mode makes it worst
  • The camera lacks the much needed Night mode and slow-motion
  • The phone does not get stuck while multitasking
  • Design sets it apart As I mentioned
  • too many details in the shadow region and the phone struggles to tone down
