- vivo India official parameters (accessed 24 October 2026)
Notes: Y21 5G: 50MP main f/1.8 plus a 0.08MP auxiliary (official, not recorded as a camera). Launch 25 Mar 2026 (press coverage; sales live on launch day; press coverage lists release 26 Mar). Storage type conflict: vivo India parameter page says UFS 2.2, press coverage says eMMC 5.1, so left null. Display peak is HBM 1200 nits per vivo. Rear video max 1080p@30 per press coverage (not an enum 4K); update policy and sensor size not stated. Battery health claim of 5 years is not an OS update policy.
