As many Filipinos re-discover the value of high-quality selfie cameras for social media and content creation, vivo Philippines launched the new vivo V21 Series composed of the vivo V21 5G and vivo V21e smartphones.

Both devices are equipped with a high resolution 44 Megapixel Autofocus selfie camera with Optical Image Stabilization or OIS for the 5G version. This means it can maintain focus on the subject’s face and counteract vibrations or hand shakiness resulting in smooth and stable selfie videos with a sharp focus all the time.
