Today, vivo Malaysia has unveiled the much teased and mysterious X21 flagship in Malaysia. Slated for RM2299, the X21 pre-order will be available starting today (5 June) until 8 June 2018 and for those who do so during the period, they will be granted a free extra 6 months screen crack protection and a FIFA merchandise. You can simply visit the nearest vivo concept store, authorized resellers and its official online stores in Lazada, 11street and Shopee.

To refresh your memory, X21 is Malaysia's first smartphone to feature an in-display fingerprint sensor which means it doesn't have a physical home button anymore, nor a rear scanner and this allows vivo to fully utilize the frontal display to its maximum size. In addition, the device also gives users Face Access technology which is said to work well in low-light conditions, as well as having a dual-pixel image sensor, AI Face Beauty, AI HDR and more. Below are the hands-on photos and tech-specs:
