Vivo V5s with 20MP front camera launched in India

And now, according to the invites sent last week by the company, it is looking forward to reveal its Vivo V5s smartphone today, i.e., April 27, in India. It sports a metal built unibody design with a 2.5D curved glass laid on the front.

Last year's Vivo V5 features a 5.5-inch HD display, 4G LTE support, the MediaTek 6750 octa-core processor, a 3,000mAh battery, 32GB of internal storage expandable via a microSD card and 4GB of RAM. The phone also boasts of a U-type lining at the back. Under the hood, it is powered by an Octa-core MediaTek MT6750 SoC that consists of eight cortex-A53 cores clocked at 1.5GHz coupled with Mali-T860 GPU. There is a hybrid slot which can be used either for a microSD card or a secondary SIM. It runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system wrapped under Funtouch OS 2.5 and gets its juices from a 3000 mAh battery. Vivo has introduced an App Clone feature that allows you to "clone" the app. This includes Vivo's implementation of blue light filer and split-screen multitasking.

The company claims that the "Moonlight" flash induces a natural glow on the face that lights up pictures irrespective of lighting conditions. Apart from that the Vivo V5s also features a fingerprint sensor located on the front aspect of the device. The rear camera will have a 16-megapixel sensor capable of extremely good panoramic shots as well. The device also has a custom built AK4376 Hi-fi audio chip, that gives an exemplarily sound. Vivo has also collaborated with Saavn for this device, offering a two-month free subscription of Saavn.

We now come to the highlight of the selfie-focused Vivo V5s - its front camera. Available in crown gold and matte black colours, it will be up for grabs at Rs 18,990 starting May 6th. Do note that the Crown Gold variant will be available from May 20.
