Vivo X21 UD could be the company's next smartphone to launch in India. The Chinese mobile maker has sent an invite to launch a new handset in the country on May 29. Earlier this month, Vivo had introduced the X21 UD in international markets, following a launch in China in March. The big highlight of the Vivo X21 UD is its under display fingerprint scanner, meaning there is no physical home button and users simply need to touch a circular on-screen fingerprint prompt to unlock their smartphone. Notably, it is one of the first few smartphones for which Google has released the Android P Beta update.

The invite sent by Vivo contains a big 'X' that hints at the unveiling of an X-series smartphone in India. The Vivo X21 UD is the company's second smartphone after the X20 Plus UD to pack an on-screen fingerprint sensor. The Vivo X20 Plus UD was showcased at CES 2018 and then launched in China in January, but it never made it to India. It is possible, though less likely, that Vivo may also launch the X20 Plus UD on May 29, and not the X21 UD.

It is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC, coupled with an Adreno 512 GPU and 6GB of RAM.

In terms of optics, the X21 UD bears a vertical rear dual camera setup with a 12-megapixel primary sensor (f/1.8 aperture) and a 5-megapixel secondary sensor (f/2.4 aperture) with LED flash.

It is equipped with 128GB inbuilt storage, expandable via microSD card (up to 256GB).
