Vivo’s drawn-out pre-launch campaign for the V21 series ends tomorrow. The Vivo V20's successor will be introduced in Pakistan on June 1; early teasers and invites have already been sent out on Vivo Pakistan’s social media pages. Here are the details.
To no one’s surprise, the launch event for the Vivo V21 series will be entirely virtual. It’s scheduled for 8 PM tomorrow, and you can catch the live stream on Vivo’s Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, or Twitter pages. It’ll be hosted like a game show featuring Vivo’s brand ambassador celebrities. Fans get a chance to win exclusive gifts by participating in the event.
If you haven’t been following the V21 series, this year’s spotlight feature is the new and improved selfie camera. It uses a high-resolution front-facing 44MP lens, integrated with optical image stabilization — front OIS is rarely seen, especially in modern mid-range phones.
This 44 MP camera can shoot in 4K and dual-view stabilized with OIS. Aside from keeping your footage shake-free, the technology takes low-light selfies to another level. Vivo V21 has two front-firing flashes for selfies in the dark.
The main rear camera is also OIS-enabled. An 8MP camera takes wide-angle shots, and a 2MP lens powers the macro photography mode. A flagship device at a flagship Vivo mobile price.
V21’s design hasn’t changed much from last year, save for the flatter edges. Its shell is every bit as sleek and featherweight as its predecessors — 7.29mm deep and 176g in weight, to be exact. This AG Glass is available in the vibrant Sunset Dazzle or the more muted-but-elegant Arctic White and Dusk Blue shades.
Vivo didn’t skimp on the screen either. V21 delivers a crisp full HD resolution at a 90Hz refresh rate. The display is a 6.44” notched E3 AMOLED panel. It has a sharp contrast ratio, 800 nits of peak brightness, support for HDR10 content.
MediaTek Dimensity 800U, a 4000 mAh battery, and 33W fast-charging power the Vivo V21. It’s offered in 128GB and 256GB storage variants, both with 8GB of memory. WhatMobile sources predict the starting price to be Rs. 59,999 but we'll have to wait for the launch event to confirm it.
