• Vivo X21 is the first X-series phone to be made available in the Philippines.
• The smartphone's premium design and aesthetics is similar to Vivo V9, but of course, with most updated specs and materials.
• I'll be available starting June 22 in selected Vivo concept stores and other official channels nationwide.

As mentioned, Vivo, is the first brand to introduce a smartphone that has an In-Display Fingerprint Sensor, meaning, you can unlock your smartphone using your fingerprint in a specific portion of it's display itself. This new tech may be the next trend on the smartphone in the coming months. 

This implementation of having the sensor on the display itself, to pave way the overall slimness, bezel-less and sleek design of the smartphone. If the placement of the fingerprint sensor on your smartphone (whether on front or rear side) annoys you, then, this In-Display Fingerprint Sensor is the solution.

But for now, lets see the specs sheet:
