Vivo Y21d price in Pakistan
Vivo Y21d price in Pakistan is Rs. 39,999 (last updated 18 Oct 2026). See all Vivo phones.
The Vivo Y21d is built around endurance and toughness rather than speed or screen quality. Its 6500 mAh battery, 44W charger in the box and IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance are rare at this price, and for many buyers they matter more than benchmark scores. Loud stereo speakers and Vivo's strong resale value add to its appeal, but the hardware inside is weak for the money.
Who it's for
- Heavy users who hate charging: around 10 to 11 hours of screen time means most people finish the day with charge left.
- People who work outdoors: rain, dust and splashes are not a worry, which suits riders and field workers.
- Buyers who value the brand: Vivo's reputation for reliability and resale suits parents and first-time buyers.
Where it falls short
The Unisoc T7225 is underpowered for this price: PUBG runs at only 40fps with frame drops, and the back warms up during long gaming. The 720p IPS LCD looks dated, storage is slow eMMC 5.1, and the 5 MP selfie camera is soft, especially in low light. There is also no NFC or 4K video.
Worth comparing
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro and Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 cost far more, but fix most of these weaknesses with smoother AMOLED screens, faster chips and sharper selfie cameras. Neither matches the Y21d's waterproofing, and the Hot 60 Pro has a smaller battery. On a fixed budget, the Y21d is the tougher, longer-lasting choice.

Vivo Y21d: Buyer's Guide
Is It Value for Money?
The Vivo Y21d is listed at Rs. 39,999 in our database. For that money it offers a few things that are rare in budget phones, but it falls behind on core hardware.
Strengths:
- A 6500 mAh battery with a 44W charger included
- IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance
- Loud stereo speakers and a dedicated microSD slot, so you can keep both SIMs and a memory card
- Vivo's brand trust and strong resale value in Pakistan
Weaknesses:
- A slow 12 nm Unisoc T7225 chip and eMMC 5.1 storage
- A 720p IPS LCD, when rivals offer AMOLED
- A weak 5 MP selfie camera, no NFC and no 4K video
The Infinix Hot 60 Pro (Rs. 66,999) and Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 (Rs. 68,999) are much better phones on paper, with AMOLED screens and faster chips, but they cost far more.
Verdict: a sensible buy for someone who wants long battery life, a tough body and a trusted brand, and who mainly uses calls, WhatsApp and YouTube. It is poor value for gamers, selfie lovers or anyone who cares about specifications, and buyers widely feel it is overpriced for its hardware.
How Is the Display?
The Vivo Y21d has a 6.68-inch IPS LCD with a 720p (HD+) resolution, a 90Hz refresh rate and a centred punch-hole camera.
- Outdoor use: with a quoted 1000 nits of brightness, it stays readable in direct sunlight, which is its best display quality.
- Smoothness: 90Hz makes scrolling feel smoother than a basic panel, and day-to-day use feels fluid.
- Sharpness and colours: 720p on a large screen looks soft, especially with small text. As an LCD panel, it cannot match the deep blacks and contrast of the AMOLED screens many rivals now offer.
- Video: fine for YouTube and social media, but not a great screen for films.
- Protection: ion-strengthened glass covers the front, and the edges are gently curved on all four sides for a comfortable grip.
At this price, many buyers expect AMOLED and at least 120Hz, so the display is one of the phone's main compromises.
How Is the Performance?
The phone uses the Unisoc T7225, a 12 nm 4G chip with two Cortex-A75 cores, six Cortex-A55 cores and a Mali-G52 MP1 GPU. The Pakistani unit tested had 6GB RAM, LPDDR4X memory and eMMC 5.1 storage.
- Daily use: calls, WhatsApp, YouTube and social media run fine, but the chip is below average for this price, and slow eMMC storage means apps open and install more slowly than on phones with UFS storage.
- Gaming: PUBG Mobile runs at up to 40fps, with Smooth graphics on Ultra frame rate or HD graphics on High. It is playable, but there are frame drops.
- Heat: the back of the phone gets warm during longer gaming or heavy camera use.
- Extras: a hardware gyroscope and a Game Mode are included.
If you play games often, phones with Helio G100 or G200 chips are clearly faster. For basic use, it is adequate.
How Is the Camera?
On the back is a 50 MP main camera with a 0.08 MP secondary sensor and a ring-LED flash. The front has a 5 MP selfie camera.
- Rear photos: colours are accurate and detail is reasonable in good light. Vivo's processing is generally decent. Portrait mode works, but edge detection around the subject is not always clean.
- Selfies: this is the weakest part of the phone. The 5 MP camera lacks sharpness and detail even in good light, struggles badly in low light, and its portrait edge detection is poor.
- Video: both cameras record at up to 1080p 30fps. There is no 4K and no video stabilisation, so handheld walking shots will look shaky.
- Modes: night mode, portrait, panorama, documents, slow motion, time-lapse, pro mode, live photo and an underwater photography mode that makes use of the IP68 and IP69 rating.
- Extra mic: a small microphone next to the rear camera helps capture sound while recording.
For the price, the cameras are basic. If you take a lot of selfies or video calls, look at rivals with 13 MP or better front cameras.
How Is the Battery?
Battery life is the Vivo Y21d's biggest strength. It uses a 6500 mAh silicon-carbon battery.
- Endurance: expect 10 to 11 hours of active screen use on a charge. If you use it lightly, a single charge can last well beyond one day.
- Charging: a 44W charger is included in the box. Going from empty to full takes roughly 70 to 80 minutes, which is reasonable for a battery this size.
- Reverse charging: our database lists reverse wired charging, so you can top up earbuds or another phone by cable.
- Weight: the big battery makes the phone fairly heavy at 209 g.
The low-power 720p screen and modest chip help it last long. For anyone who is away from a charger all day, this is the main reason to choose the Y21d.
How Is the Software?
The Vivo Y21d runs Funtouch OS 15 on Android 15.
- Features: a Game Mode for gaming, a volume boost up to 400% for the speakers, and an underwater mode in the camera app. The ring light on the back also works as a notification light.
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, FM radio and USB-C with OTG are supported. There is no NFC, so contactless payments are not possible.
- Updates: we could not confirm Vivo's official update commitment for this model. Some owners report they have not yet received Android 16.
- Stability: Vivo phones have a strong reliability reputation in Pakistan, but some owners report lag after updates.
We could not verify how many preinstalled apps or ads the Pakistani unit ships with, so review the app list and recommendation settings during setup.
Vivo Y21d: Questions Buyers Ask
How many years of Android updates will the Vivo Y21d get?
The Vivo Y21d is expected to receive around 2 years of Android updates, but Vivo has not clearly confirmed a guaranteed major Android upgrade period for every regional variant. Check Vivo Pakistan's official support policy for the exact model before relying on this estimate.
How are the speakers and battery on the Vivo Y21d?
Both are strong points. The dual speakers get very loud, have a little bass and stay clear even when turned all the way up. The 6500 mAh battery gives around 10 to 11 hours of screen time, and the bundled 44W charger refills it in roughly 70 to 80 minutes.
How heavy and thick is the Vivo Y21d?
The Vivo Y21d weighs 209 g and is 8.4 mm thick. That is on the heavy side compared with today's slim phones, mainly because of the 6500 mAh battery, but the curved edges and matte finish keep it comfortable to hold.
Is the Vivo Y21d good for gaming?
Only for light gaming. Its Unisoc T7225 chip runs PUBG Mobile at up to 40fps with some frame drops, and the back warms up during long sessions. If gaming matters, phones with Helio G100 or G200 chips perform better.
Why is there a microphone next to the rear camera?
It records sound when you shoot video with the rear camera, which helps capture clearer audio from the direction the camera is facing. It does not affect photos.
Is the Vivo Y21d a good phone overall?
It is good for battery life, toughness and speakers, but weak in performance, display and selfies. Its 6500 mAh battery, IP68 and IP69 rating and 44W charging stand out, while the 720p LCD, eMMC storage and 5 MP selfie camera feel dated for the price.
