The Vivo V21 is available both online and offline in Kenya, priced at KES. 41,999 for the 8GB RAM model coupled with up to 128GB of onboard storage. The device is powered by the MTK Dimensity 800U processor and comes with a 33W Flash Charger that allows users to power up a 4000 mAh battery in no time.
According to James Irungu, Vivo Kenya Brand and Communications Manager, the company developed the V21 lineup based on customer insights. "We developed our V21 lineup based on our insights into what our customers value the most in their phones. This OIS front camera marks a radical step in setting the standard for future smartphone front cameras," he said.
