The Vivo Y21 5G appears to be in development as a new addition to the company’s Y-series portfolio. Although Vivo has not officially announced the handset, it has reportedly surfaced on the website of a Bhutan-based cellular operator, TashiCell. The listing reveals key specifications and an expected price, offering an early look at what the device may offer.
If the information on the operator’s website is accurate, the Vivo Y21 5G will feature a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, a 120Hz HD+ display, and a large 6,500mAh battery. However, official confirmation from Vivo is still awaited.
Price
According to the listing on TashiCell’s website, the Vivo Y21 5G may be priced at BTN 16,190, which is approximately Rs. 16,190. The listed price corresponds to a single configuration with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.
There is no confirmation regarding pricing in other markets at this stage. The final retail price may vary depending on the region and applicable taxes.

| 6GB RAM + 128GB Storage | BTN 16,190 (approx. Rs. 16,190) |
Display
The Vivo Y21 5G is reportedly equipped with a 6.74-inch HD+ LCD display. The screen resolution is listed as 720 x 1,600 pixels. It is said to support a 120Hz refresh rate, which could provide smoother scrolling and animations compared to standard 60Hz panels.
The display is also mentioned to include eye protection features, though specific details about certifications or technology used have not been disclosed.
Performance
Under the hood, the handset is listed with the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. The processor is paired with a PowerVR GE8320 GPU. The configuration on the operator’s website indicates 6GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage.
The Vivo Y21 5G is said to run on OriginOS 6 based on Android 16. While this suggests the device may launch with the latest Android version, official software details will be confirmed at launch.
Key performance specifications are summarised below:

|---|---|

Camera
In terms of optics, the Vivo Y21 5G is listed with a dual rear camera setup. The primary camera is a 50-megapixel sensor. It is accompanied by a 0.08-megapixel super macro sensor.
On the front, the device is said to feature a 5-megapixel camera for selfies and video calls.
While the primary sensor resolution appears competitive in its segment, additional details such as aperture size and video recording capabilities have not been mentioned in the listing.
Battery
One of the notable features of the Vivo Y21 5G is its reported 6,500mAh battery. The handset is also said to support 45W FlashCharge fast charging. If confirmed, this combination would position the device among smartphones offering large battery capacity with relatively fast charging support in the mid-range category.
A battery of this size could appeal to users who prioritise extended usage, including streaming, gaming, and daily communication.

The device may be offered in two colour options: Voyage Black and Sunrise Gold.
Certification
The Vivo Y21 5G was previously spotted on Malaysia’s SIRIM certification website with the model number V2553. It was listed alongside the Vivo Y11d. The certification confirms that the devices have been approved for sale in Malaysia, although no technical specifications were included in that listing.
While the operator website provides insight into the expected features and pricing, Vivo has not yet officially announced the handset. Final specifications, availability timelines, and regional pricing details are likely to be confirmed at the time of launch.
