Exclusive – Vivo X21 with In-Display Fingerprint Scanner to Launch in India at Rs 34,990

A couple of months ago, Vivo launched the Vivo X21 and X21 UD smartphones in China. Apart from the inclusion of in-display fingerprint sensor on the X21 UD, there are no other differences between these two devices. Last month, the company also made the Vivo X21 UD available in a couple of Southeast Asian markets. According to our exclusive source, we got to know that the Vivo X21 UD will be priced at Rs. 34,990 in the Indian market. Since the company only launches one variant in India, the device with in-display fingerprint sensor will be named as just Vivo X21.

While there is no information about the exact launch date, it is confirmed to happen by the end of this month. We don’t think the company will make any changes in terms of specifications or hardware. Talking about the design, the Vivo X21 will look similar to the Vivo X9. However, the Vivo X21 will come with curved glass back body and sports superior specifications.

On the front, it comes with a 6.28-inch Super AMOLED display offering Full HD+ (2280 x 1080 pixels) resolution and 19:9 aspect ratio. With the notch display, the device will come with 90.3% screen-to-body. It will be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 AIE Mobile Platform coupled with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

Compared to the regular Snapdragon 660 processor, the Snapdragon 660 AIE is mentioned to offer enhanced AI features. In terms of optics, the Vivo X21 sports dual rear cameras featuring 24MP sensor with f/1.8 aperture and a 5MP sensor with f/2.4 aperture. For selfies, the device comes equipped with a single 24MP front camera with f/2.0 aperture.

It is backed by a 3,200mAh non-removable battery that also supports 9V/2A (18W) fast charging technology. In China, the company also introduced the in-house AI assistant called Jovi. However, the Jovi will not be included in the Indian variants. Along with the under display fingerprint sensor, the Vivo X21 will also come with face unlock technology. The color variants and the exact availability date will be known on the launch day. Stay tuned on PhoneRadar for more details!
