Vivo V21s
The Vivo V21s looks and feels a lot like its less expensive cousin sold with the same model number, minus the s. In fact, you get almost the same design but with a more subtle finish that feels more refined. The camera layout is also mostly the same, both in terms of the design of the camera cutout, as well as the cameras used on the inside. While some changes have been made on the software side to improve the camera performance, the overall results will look similar due to the hardware limitations. You even get the same, reliable, Dimensity 800U processor, which should be more than enough to handle all your day-to-day tasks and light gaming.

Bottom Line
The Vivo V21s is a decent upgrade to the base model V21, which features a similar design, as well as a lot of the same internal components, but makes a few key changes to make it seem like a new device. Unfortunately, you are still stuck with the small battery, so the experience will be overshadowed by that a bit.Pros
