vivo X21 - User Reviews

  • This is a prime example of how a phone that's good on paper might be rubbish in real life. It's got a monster spec sheet, but in reality it's a buggy, slow, unusable and unreliable mess. - The selfie cam has gone wrong already, with a blurry blue area ever present in every photo; - The start-up is annoying with a chime you can't switch off; - It is so slow as to be woeful. The modest ZTEs from 2016 that have never been formatted are much, much faster. Let me be very clear: everything is geologically slow. EVERYTHING; - Nothing works well. You get the phone suggesting Chinese shortcuts even though it's in English, every app seems to be buggy and you get ads popping up at random. It's such a pile of excrement, its owner decided to give it to my 4-year old daughter as a toy. A phone with less than a year on it. Speaks volumes.

  • This phone is great.

  • It's not, there are many other better phones. Realme, Redmi, Nokia.

  • This phone currently sells for only US$230. Is it still worth buying?

  • I have an X 21 plus. Now I am not sure if finger print works. It has taken my print ok. I like it. About pricing ! It is a good price, I bought mine in wish. If I was to buy Galaxy, cost me here in AU, $ 2000.

  • Hi, The pics, or selfies are in your photo files. Get a friend to show you how to use it. And get the manual.

  • My camera is not working. It want let me take a selfie. It take a pic but I can't find it. Please help me with the camera on the phone.

  • Why so much over pricing!!!!?

  • Do you have any idea about vivo series x21a ?

  • But you don't have a Super AMOLED Display, 6 GB RAM and a headphone 3.5mm jack on a Mi A2

  • real me 1 or 2 or 2pro by oppo

  • Nope... coz you can get the same Snapdragon 660 in other phone with half of its price... Like Xiaomi A2 just cost you around 200 EUR~

  • Which mobile phone is best below rs20k?

  • Vivo X21 is better against their features

  • which one is better? this one or oppo f9?

  • my x21 phone is lost how i find my phone

  • No it is not. This is better because alu-body (it is much better than glass), lighter, better screen (Amoled rules), etc.

  • much better nova 3i

  • Hi, may i know which one is better, vivo x21/vivo v9/huawei nova 3i/huawei nova 3? Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

  • Great phone, but is it worth buying to invest?

  • Another apple fan...😂

  • Hi Is it the same V9 6GB spec that will be launched in Indonesia early July (offline)?

  • I believe you are talking of Vivo X21 UD launched in India and internationally as X21. They are charging a very hefty premium for the under display fingerprint scanner which neither is as accurate or fast as normal fingerprint scanners. No doubt for similar performance and even better built quality people should opt for Nokia 7 Plus which retails INR 11K cheaper rather than heftily overpriced X21 UD . One Plus 6 is in a different league in terms of performance and with a budget of INR 36K, should blindly opt for OP6.

  • Vivo charge 36k only for inside display finger print with snapdragon 660 Nokia 7plus using as same snapdragon 660 they charge 26k or purchase one plus 6 with 845 snapdragon x21 ha ha ha

  • still usb 2.0 in this day and age Vivo phones or any other phone at this price range should have USB type c connections.

  • i think it's camera is worth looking into

  • Yeah..now i realised that..! That confusion has sorted out.

  • At same price op6 available. For brand value both are China phones

  • Internationally Vivo is keeping the naming convention simple and calling the Chinese X21UD as X21. People are mistaking this and commenting here. The Chinese X21 mentioned here have a normal fingerprint sensor at the back as pictured above.

  • Yeah man.. That "rear mounted" in display fingerprint reader

  • It has In-display Fingerprint

  • Vivo have released X21UD in India. In India it is known as X21. So wrong place to talk here. I think all users from India should post in gsmarena X21ud opinion section and not here.

  • s dual volte support

  • What's your take in this pricing? I feel ip68 protection would have balancing addition surely lacking type c is deal breaker and average cameras. sd 835 + type c+ ip68 even then I will be happy to pay 40k for this can bear with average cameras

  • 35k for rear mounted fingerprint sensor plus mediocre specs...! What vivo is trying to do here?

  • Worst specs for this budget

  • omg ! design fantastic , onscreen finger print , super amoled display , snapdragon 660, sure a competitive device for nokia 7 plus, but no it cant.,.,.,.,., comparing to nokia 7 plus, ( no gyro sensor , no c-type usb , fast battery will be 2.0 ( not so fast ) , no gorilla glass , 3200 mah is good but not too good , no nfc , and price more than 30000. ) come on vivo, oneplus 6 with snap 845 is more cheap than this moderate x21.,. even nokia 7 plus is just rs.26000......

  • You will be amazed by stupidity of vivo when you know the price of vivo x 21 but I don't know why I companies are dying for new unlock features however for me Samsung s8 is better deal than this or one plus 6 even

  • Crying??? Dude, Vivo doesn't even have type c usb on any of their phones.

  • Does it support Dual 4G cum Volte?

  • Samsun will start crying for sure. Vivo now launching the high range phones. Their monopoly business with extreme over price is over.

  • Launching date in India is 29th May, 2018.

  • Between 25th To 30th May 2018

  • what is the actual date of launching this phone Vivo X21 full review in Hindi

  • what was the actual date of release

  • Go to a Philippine Store

  • When is this phone going to be available in the Philippines???

  • How can i buy this if i'm from philippines??

  • Vivo V9 is a different phone with a Snapdragon 626, launched in the Indian and Phillipin markets.

  • When this phone will be avaiable in europe?Tnx Reply

  • No 4K when the chipset supports it it is a weird strategy. Samsung is doing the same with their A series, when those are not low-end phones.

  • I believe this phone may come to India renamed as Vivo V9 Plus. I am really interested in this phone.

  • Interesting phone
