Vivo will soon launch a new V21 handset. Already, the phone has made multiple unofficial appearances online, including the recent certification in Indonesia. Now, Vivo Malaysia has posted the first teaser of the upcoming phone.

The teaser reveals a dewdrop-like notch on the front and an LED flash setup on the top panel. The flash is likely to be part of Vivo's ‘Spotlight Selfie' feature. The teaser also gives a view of the back panel. There is a rectangular camera module at the top left corner with at least three camera sensors. The module also houses the LED flash. The right edge of the phone houses volume rockers and a power button, which is most likely to double as the fingerprint sensor.

Apart from the design, the teaser confirms the handset will come with a 44-megapixel camera with an ‘OIS Super Night Selfie System' on the front. There will be a similar 64-megapixel ‘OIS Night Camera' on the back. On the design, the teaser confirms ‘ultra-slim matte glass design'. According to Vivo, V21 is its slimmest 5G phone, and it will be available in two colour options. The company has also confirmed the phone will have dual-SIM support with both slots supporting 5G connectivity.

Interestingly, Vivo says the handset has an “8GB+3GB” extended RAM. “Thanks to additional 3GB RAM effect on your 8GB phone, you can maximise your phone's potential and run your apps at faster speeds without lag,” says Vivo on its website.

At the moment, Vivo has not revealed when the phone will officially launch. There is no word on the rollout of the phone in other markets as well.

That said, Vivo has just launched a new Y21SG in the Philippines. The handset comes with a 6.51-inch HD+ display with a 1600x 720 pixels resolution and LCD (IPS) panel. It runs on MediaTek's Helio G80 processor. It has 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. There's also a 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging support.

There's a triple rear camera setup on the back. It consists of a 13-megapixel primary sensor, 2-megapixel sensor, and 2-megapixel sensor. On the front, it has an 8-megapixel camera. The handset is available for about $205 ( ₹15,300 approximately).
