Vivo V5 Plus Smartphone With Dual Selfie Camera Available From Feb 1, 2017 for Rs 27,980

Vivo today built up on its selfie-first billing from the V5 launch in November, by going a step further and perhaps venturing into a territory others have not tested waters so far. Yes, after a moonlight 20 MP selfie smartphone, Vivo V5, the Vivo V5 Plus, brings in dual lens camera tech from the rear to the front. It’s a combination of a 20 MP and 8 MP cameras with differing apertures that let you introduce the Bokeh effect in selfies you take. So, you can fix objects in focus in a selfie and blur the surrounding areas when taking selfies within a distance of 1-2 meters from the camera lens. We relished the Bokeh effect in selfies, which was more pronounced when the selfie is restricted to two people.

A sleek smartphone with oodles of storage

The Vivo V5 Plus sports an all metal body with a unique curved antenna design at the top and the bottom to allow that much extra signal coverage. The gold color, now a de facto standard for most smartphones in the mid-range, gels well the metallic finish which has a brushed feel to it. The smartphone does well in hands although it’s a matter of conjecture at this point whether it shall be a little difficult to hold with greasy hands. It runs on their newly upgraded Funtouch OS 3.0 Operating System (based on Android 6.0) and comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM. And what’s different from Vivo V5 is the presence of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 Octa-core CPU under the metal body. The sleek design of V5 Plus, and we say this ‘cause it actually feels very light in hand, features a 13.87cm (5.5) FHD display, with curved edges and ultra-narrow bezels for a more comfortable touch. The fifth generation Corning Gorilla glass provides stronger screen protection.

Vivo V5 Plus’s slender body is packed with a 3055mAh battery, designed to power your device to last through a longer working day. The twin-engine charging technology offers a faster charging speed and the charging protection system offers a safer, worry-free charging experience.

Music lovers will relish every beat played on Vivo V5 Plus with the custom-built AK4376 Hi-Fi audio chip that provides an unprecedented sound quality by giving a signal-to-noise ratio experience of up to 115dB.

Quick fingerprint unlocking 

V5 Plus offers a technological breakthrough with its faster than faster fingerprint unlocking that unlocks the screen in just 0.2 seconds. The updated fingerprint recognition technology allows you to access your favourite apps by pressing the fingerprint sensor twice.

The ‘Smart Screen-Split’ feature allows users to multi-task without having to switch back and forth every time a message pops up. Users can chat and watch videos simultaneously on one screen.
