After the display notch on top, the in-display fingerprint sensor is the next upcoming innovation in the smartphone world. The Vivo X21 packs in both. Below we will take a look at each of its aspects separately.
The In display fingerprint scanner: Unlike the traditional fingerprint sensors that are placed either below the display or at the rear of the phone, the Vivo X21 packs one underneath the display. This technology was announced late last year and Vivo X21 is one of the first few phones to feature it. The area where the sensor is embedded underneath the display, illuminates, making it easy to identify where the scanner is.
Design: Complementing the new technology is the sheer beauty of this phone. It follows the latest trend of the bezel-less display with a notch on top. The 6.28inch full HD+ AMOLED display with bright colours dominates the front. The glass rear housing the vertical dual camera has a soft finish. In between the two is the metal frame, which houses the power and volume button on the right, 3.5mm port on the top, and SIM tray, speaker grill and the charging port at the bottom. At 7.4mm, the X21 feels pretty slim.
Camera: Another plus of the Vivo X21 is the camera that manages to capture some great images. The phone houses a dual camera setup at the rear a 12 megapixel and a 5 megapixel sensor. On front there is a single 12-megapixel camera. The Face Beauty mode has various modes including AI.
Performance: The Vivo X21 runs FunTouch OS4 build on Android 8.1 Oreo. The Vivo X21 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 processor paired with 6GB of RAM.
Battery: Vivo X21 packs in a 3200mAh battery. The phone is accompanied with a fast charger, which manages to top up 50 per cent of the battery in 30 minutes.
For Rs 64,000 price tag, Vivo X21 looks good, features an in-display fingerprint sensor, has a great camera and is a decent performer.
