Vivo is one of those Chinese manufacturers that try to impress the audience with their products. The company was the first to introduce the 2k display on the smartphone on the Vivo Xplay 3s, first to use the Hi-Fi audio chips on the mobile devices. What is more, it still holds the crown of the slimmest device on the planet with their X5Max model, which is only 4.75mm thick.
As there were rumours and leaks regarding the successor of the camera centric device – Xshot, we thought that we could take another look at this device. Just almost one year later.
At the time of the release the company were the first to introduce the powerful combination of 13MP Sony IMX214 sensor with f/1.8 aperture, OIS and the dual tone dual LED flash. Also, vivo managed to put real flagship grade specs at that time – Snapdragon 801 chip clocked at 2.5 Ghz, 3 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage (expandable up to 128 GB via Micro SD), Hi-Fi audio chips, 8MP front facing shooter with flash and more.

There are a few versions of the vivo Xhot. The one mentioned in the review is the Ultimate. However, you can buy an Elite version for a much lower price. It is practically the same device, but processor speed goes from 2.5 Ghz to 2.3 Ghz, it has 2GB of RAM (instead of 3 GB) and 16 GB (instead of 32GB) of expandable storage. It is still a great device with a great performance and stellar camera, and you can get it for as low as $399.
