The X21 comes with a face unlock for security that features an in-built infrared light sensor for faster unlocking even if it's dark. Aside from this security feature, Vivo added another option to unlock the smartphone. The futuristic in-display fingerprint scanner that requires only a single touch for an immediate access. 

A graphical interface will show on the screen when fingerprint scanning is required. It can be used when the screen is turned off, sensitive mobile application, or even making a payment.
