Well it’s the age of selfies and if you’ve got a smartphone that boasts of a 20 megapixel front camera, all your selfie problems are going to go out of the window. The Vivo V5 has just launched and we tell you why you should be getting your hands on the phone.
About Vivo V5
Let’s tackle the elephant in the room first. The Vivo V5 boasts a 20-megapixel front-facing camera which certainly one of the major highlight of the smartphone. It is perfect for even taking moonlit selfies. Other selfie-focused features on the smartphone include its phase detection autofocus to generate sharp images. It also has LED Flash, geo-tagging, face detection, Panorama and HDR to complete your selfie experience.

The touchscreen smartphone has dual sim capacity. It is 2G/3G/4G enabled with GPRS and EDGE capability. The device has Bluetooth 4.0 and microUSB v2.0. It has a 5.5 inch display screen with AMOLED display. The Corning Gorilla Glass 4 provides it an amazing durability. With internal memory of 32GB and additional 256GB expandable memory makes it a storage giant. The 4GB RAM makes the processing fast and user friendly. Above the 5.5-inch screen, there are only the earpiece, ambient light and proximity sensors and, on the left, the high-res 20MP front camera.
Vivo V5 v/s I Phone 6s
First Look- The Vivo V5 and I Phone 6s both have their main power buttons on the right and volume buttons on the left. Both also have the charging dock, audio jack, speaker grille and mike on the bottom while on the top rear, they have the camera and LED flash. Just the placements differ slightly in both.
Camera- The 13 mega pixel primary camera in Vivo V5 is more is more effective than the 12 mega pixel primary camera of IPhone. The Secondary 20 mega pixel camera is way ahead in producing quality pictures. While the camera menu in the iPhone include the options to take Slo-Mo, Video, Photo, Square and Panorama, the camera menu in the F1s has Time Lapse, Video, Pictures, HDR and Panorama.
Final Verdict
Priced at INR 17890, the Vivo V5 has features to rival the best of high-end phones. Besides being lightweight and sleek, it is also a powerhouse in terms of performance. I also love the fact that unlike the iPhone, you have the option of expandable memory (or a dual SIM as your requirements may be). But best of all, I love the camera! If you want a smartphone that looks like an iPhone, performs like an iPhone (I’m talking about the user interface) yet is powered by Android, takes amazing selfies and costs half as much as the leading high-end phones, then I highly recommend the Vivo V5.
