The vivo V21 5G is a selfie-centric smartphone with a boxy design. The handset flaunts a 6.44-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a resolution of 2404 × 1080 pixels, a 90Hz refresh rate, an in-screen fingerprint sensor, and a dewdrop notch.

It is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 800U SoC coupled with 8GB RAM and an optional 3GB virtual RAM that can be enabled or disabled as per requirement. The device comes with 128GB/256GB internal storage with support for expansion via a MicroSD card slot.

Vivo is bringing the V21 series to Malaysia on April 27. And, it has confirmed today that V21 5G is coming to India too. Ahead of the launch, Sudhanshu on Twitter has posted the specs of the Vivo V21 5G.

Vivo India has now posted a teaser on Twitter confirming the Vivo V21 5G moniker for India. As per the poster image, the device will have a 44MP selfie camera with features like OIS-assisted night selfies.

Besides, Sudhanshu says that Vivo V21 5G will feature a Dimensity 800U chipset. This is a 5G chipset that we have been seeing on many devices like the recently launched OPPO F19 Pro+, OPPO A94, and even the realme Narzo 30 Pro.

If this is true, it’s a transition from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G on the Vivo V20 Pro 5G. However, just like the V20 Pro, the V21 5G is also said to skip the 3.5mm audio jack and feature a hybrid SIM slot for storage expansion.

Vivo included a 3.5mm jack to Type-C adapter in the box for the V20 Pro and we can expect the same for the Vivo V21 5G. As for the optics, we already know that it will have a 64MP triple-camera setup on the back.

Along with that, the V21 5G is said to have an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro sensor. Upfront, it will have a 44MP selfie shooter as mentioned above. Expected camera features include Eye Auto Focus (AF) on the selfie camera, OIS.

The Vivo V21 will also have memory fusion like RAM effect tech, dual-SIM 5G, and run Android 11 OS out of the box and we can expect Funtouch OS 11 UI on top. A report by Moneycontrol says that Vivo will initially bring only the V21 to India on April 27.

On the contrary, the Malaysian launch will have several devices like Vivo V21 4G, Vivo V21e along with the V21 5G. Another device, allegedly Vivo V21 SE, has appeared on the Google Play console but we will have to wait and see if it launches next week.
