Vivo's new OnePlus Nord rival has a 44MP selfie camera with OIS and EIS

The V21 5G is the company's thinnest 5G phone yet.

What you need to know

Vivo has announced two new V21 series mid-range phones.
The new Vivo V21 and V21 5G feature 90Hz AMOLED screens and a 44MP selfie camera with optical image stabilization (OIS).
Both phones are set to go on sale in select markets globally from early next month.

Vivo today unveiled two new mid-range Android phones featuring high-refresh-rate screens and a "class-leading" selfie camera.

The new Vivo V21 and V21 5G phones sport a 6.44-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support. They are powered by MediaTek's Dimensity 800U chipset, coupled with 8GB of LPDDR4 RAM and 128GB of storage. Similar to the company's X60 series phones, the V21 series also comes with 3GB of virtual RAM.

The main selling point of the V21 series phones is the 44MP selfie camera, which is housed inside a waterdrop notch. Not only does the front camera feature optical image stabilization (OIS), but it also has EIS for steady 4K videos. You even get two LEDs on either side to help you capture great selfies in low-light conditions.

On the back of the two phones is a triple-camera setup with a 64MP main camera, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro lens. When it comes to battery life, however, the V21 and V21 5G aren't quite as impressive as the best cheap Android phones on the market. They pack a 4,000mAh battery and support 33W charging speeds. On the software side of things, the devices run Android 11 with Vivo's custom Funtouch OS 11.1 on top.

The V21 and V21 5G are slated to go on sale in select markets starting early next month in Sunset Dazzle, Dusk Blue, and Arctic White color options. While the V21 has been priced at RM 1,599 ($390) in Malaysia, there's no word yet on how much the V21 5G will cost.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
