Is it any good?
Starting at ₹20,999 for 4GB + 64GB (with 4GB + 128GB at ₹23,999 and 6GB + 128GB at ₹27,999), the Y21 5G is the offline-retail twin of vivo's T5 Lite 44W 5G. Both phones share the exact same core spec sheet: a 6.74-inch HD+ (1,600 x 720) 120Hz LCD, a 2.4GHz MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor, a 6,500 mAh battery with 44W wired charging, IP65 dust and water resistance, and OriginOS 6 on Android 16 in a 209g, 8.39mm body.
Camera hardware is also identical, pairing a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor and 0.08MP auxiliary lens on the back with a 5MP f/2.2 front camera, plus microSD expansion up to 2TB via the hybrid SIM tray.
Because the T5 Lite 44W 5G offers the same hardware on vivo's store starting at ₹17,999, you are paying ₹3,000 to ₹5,000 extra here purely for the Y-series badge and Champagne Gold or Midnight Blue finishes.
