One of the biggest draw backs of the newly launched Tecno Phantom X is the price, though Tecno came up with a means to drop the price to as low as [url=https://allroundreview.com/tecno-phantom-x-vs-poco-x3-pro-phantom-x-at-%e2%82%a61200/]₦1,299[/url]. many still feels that the absence of 5G in a device that is priced above the ₦200,000 is not a good bargain.

Today we will be testing that theory by comparing the Vivo V21 [5G] to the Tecno Phantom X, to see if 5G on a device automatically makes it worth buying in 2021.

We covered the full review of the Tecno Phantom X here.



Let’s talk about the Vivo V21.



The Vivo V21 major selling point is the inclusion of a 5G chipset, as it comes powered by the 7nm Dimensity 800U [5G] from Mediatek.

Brief information about the Dimensity 800U.
This chipset was manufactured using Samsung’s 7nm processing node.
The chipset was launched in 2020 and comes equipped 5G.

That aside, the chipset uses certain older features like UFS 2.2. and max ddr4x support.

The Vivo 21[5G] has some interesting features like 6.44inch FHD amoled display, in-display fingerprint scanner, 90Hz refresh rate and HDR10+ support.

The max storage variant of The V21 is 8/256, but there is a base model of 6/128.

One of the downside of the V21 is the absence of an earphone jack, but an SD expansion slot is available, though you would have to sacrifice the second sim slot.

they are both good phones with powerful mid-range mediatek dimensity chipsets.

all hail the mediatek bot

I will say the Phantom X is obviously a great camera phone and has very good cameras but the V21 5G from Vivo is also not far behind in terms of specs. They both also have decent mediatek chipsets just one is 4G and other is 5G

The vivo doesn't have a headphone jack, so it's a pass from me.

And THERE IS NO 5G IN NIGERIA YET, WHETHER IT IS SA OR NSA; OR SUB-6 OR MILLIMETER WAVE.

I really like the overall features esp the dimensity 800U chip and the 64Mp triple cam setup in the Vivo V21 5G.

Really hard to select a preference here. I sha like the dual selfie camera of the phantom, the curves too

I've never used vivo so I can't vouch for them. But that Phantom X is good

First saw it with a colleague and its not bad either, both phones are okay. It is all about choice

yeah. Very true.

Blastedholligan:
yeah. Very true.

Both great devices, but the downside of the vivo is really expensive, how can I sacrifice a second sim slot, and also not have a headphone jack? Nah man, it's the Phantom for me cos it's like we already have 5g network in Nigeria sef
