vivo Indonesia has officially launched the vivo Y21d, a rugged smartphone priced at around Rp2 million (approximately $135). The device targets outdoor workers and field professionals who need a durable phone with long-lasting battery life.
The vivo Y21d carries an IP68/69/69+ certification, making it highly resistant to water and dust. It can withstand submersion in water up to 6 meters deep and resist high-pressure water jets. This smartphone can survive harsh conditions such as accidental drops in washing machines or spills, maintaining optimal performance throughout.
This new model also bears SGS Gold 5 Star certification and military-grade durability standards. Its screen is protected by Guardian Glass featuring dual-ion strengthening and a shock-absorbent frame, ensuring the phone survives drops from heights up to 1.5 meters.
A standout feature of the vivo Y21d is its ultra-large 6500mAh battery. It supports up to three days of use on a full charge, meeting the needs of users with demanding, mobile lifestyles. The 44W FlashCharge technology enables charging to 50% capacity in just 40 minutes, significantly reducing downtime.
Additionally, vivo has integrated Bypass Charging technology to keep the device temperature stable during charging. This allows users to comfortably engage in gaming or multitasking without overheating concerns. The battery is enhanced by a 5-year anti-drop performance guarantee, keeping energy capacity consistent over long-term use.
The phone’s battery endurance covers extensive usage scenarios, such as playing PUBG for up to 11 hours, listening to Spotify for 63 hours, scrolling Facebook for 27 hours, or live streaming on TikTok for 13 hours on a single charge. These figures demonstrate vivo’s commitment to supporting intensive use.
In terms of design, vivo Y21d offers a Compact 3D Design for comfortable handling throughout the day. It comes in two modern colors: Lavender Purple and Space Black. The Dynamic Light feature adds an interactive notification light that enhances its futuristic look.
