Chinese smartphone giant Vivo recently announced the Vivo V21 series in India and other markets, featuring the Vivo V21e 5G and the Vivo V21 5G. Recently, the company also announced the Vivo V23e 5G in the region of Vietnam, as a sort of upgrade over the V21e 5G. Now it seems that the device is nearing an India launch.
For those curious, the specifications of
the Vivo V23e 5G are not known as of now, but we can infer from rumours that
the device will come with a 6.44-inch AMOLED display, MediaTek Dimensity 810
SoC, 50MP Triple-rear shooters, a 44MP front shooter and FunTouchOS 12 on top
of Android 11 out of the box.
Tipster Yogesh Brar has recently told
91mobiles that the device is indeed launching in India in December, although an
exact launch date has not been provided. This new smartphone is likely to
feature a better processor and improved optics than its predecessor, the Vivo
V21 5G. Vivo might also launch the Vivo V23e and the Vivo V23 Pro.
In terms of the Vivo V21 5G, the device
makes use of a 6.44-inch AMOLED panel with a resolution of FHD+ and a refresh
rate of 90Hz. The device also has a 44Mp front shooter with dual-LED flash.
Towards the rear is a 64MP primary shooter with additional lenses which are an
8MP ultra-wide shooter and a 2MP macro sensor. Performance-wise, the device
relies on a Dimensity 800U SoC with up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2
storage.
To add to this, the Vivo V21 5G boots
FunTouchOS 11.1 on top of Android 11 out of the box and draws power from a
4,000 mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging. Security-wise, there is
an in-display fingerprint sensor. Availability-wise, in India, the V21 5G is
available in two different storage variants, with the base variant featuring
8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which retails for Rs 29,900, while the higher
end variant with 256GB variant is available for Rs 32,990.
The much-awaited Vivo tablet will
reportedly pack Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 870 SoC under the hood. The company is
reportedly prepping to launch its first-ever tablet in the next few months. The
tablet was originally set to go official in January 2021. However, that didn’t
come to fruition. In an interview, Vivo’s VP Hu Baishan revealed that the
company will be launching its first tablet in the first quarter of next year.
In other words, the tablet could go
official between January and June 2022. Regrettably, the top executive did not
divulge other key details about the company’s maiden tablet.
