Vivo Philippines have brought two new midrange phones in the country: the Vivo V21e and V21 5G.
First, we have the Vivo V21e 4G powered by the trusty Snapdragon 720G processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 4,000mAh battery.
Like most Vivo phones, the key highlight here are the cameras and design. It comes with a sharp 44-megapixel front-facing camera with Eye autofocus, while on the back, we have three shooters led by a 64-megapixel main shooter.
It also has an ultra-thin design that’s only 7.38mm and weighs 171g with 2.5D glass. It also comes in a unique Diamond Flare color with diamond patterns. If it’s not your cup of tea, a Roman Black color is available with subtle vertical stripe accents.
The Vivo V21e has an official price of Php17,999 in the Philippines. It’s currently discounted at Php16,999 on Vivo’s official webstore.
