Vivo V21e 5G spotted on Geekbench; key specifications revealed
Vivo seems to be working on a new 5G handset, called the V21e. In the latest development, the handset has been spotted on Geekbench, revealing some of its key specifications. Separately, it has also received certification from BIS, hinting at an imminent launch in India. As per the reports, the V21e 5G will be similar to the V21 5G but with a different chipset.
What is Geekbench and how does it rate processors?
Geekbench is a processor benchmarking platform that ranks chipsets based on their single-core and multi-core performances. While evaluating multi-core performances, the platform runs a set of instructions simultaneously per core to generate an aggregate result. The same process is applied to calculate single-core scores. The faster a processor fulfills the instructions, the higher is its score on Geekbench.
How much did Vivo V21e 5G score on Geekbench?
Vivo V21e 5G's Geekbench listing, with model number V2055, was uploaded on May 19. According to the listing, the phone has achieved a single-core score of 462 and a multi-core score of 1,502.
The handset will flaunt a 90Hz AMOLED display
The Vivo V21e 5G will feature a waterdrop notch design with a prominent bottom bezel and an in-display fingerprint sensor for secure authentication of biometric data.

The Vivo V21e 5G will sport a triple rear camera module, comprising a 64MP primary sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 2MP macro shooter. For selfies and video calls, it will have a 44MP front-facing snapper.

Under the hood, it will run on Android 11 and house a 4,000mAh battery with 33W fast-charging support. For connectivity, the handset should offer support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, 5G, a headphone jack, and a Type-C port.
