8 Best vivo Phones in Malaysia 2024 - Brand Reviews

Why It’s Our Top Pick

Based on online reviews, several users have referred to the vivo V21e more favourably in comparison to other vivo models. In terms of price, it is in the mid-range between the under RM 1000 phones and the RM 3000+ phones. It also has a Snapdragon 720G processor, which is considerably good for a mid-range smartphone like this one.

Overview

vivo V21e is powered by a Snapdragon 720G processor. However, this processor does not support 5G. Though it does support an extended RAM feature (3GB), users will have to separately purchase external memory space.

Moving on; like other gaming-focused vivo phones, the vivo V21e model has Ultra Game Mode and Game Turbo features. 

The former allows you to control your gaming environment without worries of being distracted such as ‘locking’ in your ideal screen brightness and block notifications from interrupting games. 

Meanwhile, the latter lets you optimise the phone’s CPU and memory resources in order to have a lower frame drop rate. In other words, you will have a better gaming experience as there will be lesser lag. 

Some other highlights of the vivo V21e include a 4000mAh battery that’s 33W fast-charging, a 44MP Eye Autofocus camera and 64MP Night Camera, and a screen that’s Anti-Fingerprint Anti-Glare glass.
