Weekly poll results: vivo V21 5G excites the right crowd, rest of series get little love

Last week we got three new vivo V-series phones and the V21 and V21 5G in particular brought something you don’t see that often – optically stabilized selfie cameras. We asked your opinion on the matter in our weekly poll and you selected the V21 5G as the most exciting device from the lineup.

Realme unveiled the Realme 8 and 8 Pro in March. We already reviewed the Pro model, and now we have the vanilla 8 in Cyber Silver color with us for the full review.
