Vivo obliged us with the X21 and it has been recently launched in India too at a compelling price point. What all does this phone pack and is it worth your money? We find out.

Vivo X21: Design, Display 

Vivo X21 features a glass-meets-metal design with premium all-glass back and front, wrapped in a metal frame.

To unlock their devices, the users of Vivo X21 just need to touch the fingerprint prompt on the display screen and it gets unlocked in a jiffy.

On the front, it has a 6.28-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display which is an extra tall 19:9 panel with a notch at the top. There is also a slight chin present but the phone does look impressive enough.
