Vivo is launching the under-display fingerprint sensor variant in India
The smartphone was first unveiled in China in March this year

Vivo X21 is set to launch in India today, at a 12:30pm IST event in New Delhi. To recall, the smartphone had first been launched by Vivo in China in March this year in two variants - the Vivo X21 and Vivo X21 UD - with the latter variant the one that sported the under-display fingerprint sensor. In India however, the Chinese company has decided to launch the Vivo X21 UD variant as the Vivo X21 itself. Vivo had teased the launch of the Vivo X21 in India earlier this month and also revealed that the smartphone will be a Flipkart-exclusive in the country. The Vivo X21 is also one of the few smartphones that are eligible for the Android P Beta (Developer Preview 2) update that was released at Google I/O earlier this month. The Vivo X21 last week went up for pre-bookings ahead of the India launch. It is also a Flipkart exclusive, and the e-commerce site has already detailed launch offers.The company is set to live stream the launch event on Flipkart, and on YouTube (embedded below).
