Vivo X21i With 19:9 Display, MediaTek Helio P60 SoC Launched: Price, Specifications

Vivo X21i has been launched in China. The new development comes a couple of weeks after Vivo launched the original Vivo X21 in Singapore. The Vivo X21i price in China has been set at CNY 2,698 (roughly Rs. 28,900) in two different variants - one with 6GB RAM and 64GB storage as well as the other one with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage. The biggest difference between the Vivo X21 and Vivo X21i is the use of the MediaTek Helio P60 SoC on the latter, compared to the Snapdragon 660 SoC on the former. Vivo has already started taking pre-orders for the Vivo X21i via its official stores and online store alongside JD.com, Tmall, and Suning. The handset will, however, be available for purchase in the country starting May 19.
