The company has made sure that the device offers tremendous value for the price you pay. The phone comes with 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 615 chipset with 2GB RAM and 16GB of storage. The Super AMOLED display is pretty decently sized at 5.2-inches and will be extremely sharp, thanks to its full HD 1080p resolution.

One of the highlights of the Vivo X5Pro is its camera. The phone features a 13MP rear shooter with 5 element lens protected by Sapphire Glass. It even supports PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) which is reportedly faster than the iPhone 6’s unit. Even the front camera is pretty good, as the 8MP shooter can take up to 32MP resolution selfies. The same camera can also act as the IRIS recognition unit for securing data and apps inside the device.

Finally, the beautiful 2.5D dual glass design and the metal frame makes the device an extremely good package for its price. Unfortunately, the company is yet to announce if it plans to release the phone outside of China.

Yesterday evening, Vivo announced its new mid-range flagship in the market, the Vivo X5Pro. We already knew a lot about the device, thanks to the numerous teasers and leaks that were going around on the internet. So, the specs and features were in line with what we expected.

Yesterday at the time of launch, Vivo did not unveil the pricing of its new flagship. But earlier today, the company has finally revealed that the Vivo X5Pro smartphone will be available for purchase for just 2598 Yuan which comes to around $420. This turns out to be a great price for a device with features that include Phase Detection AutoFocus and Iris recognition.

Other tech specs are also pretty good. The phone features Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor under the hood with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. There is a 5.2-inch Super AMOLED display up front with a resolution of 1920 x 1080p. The rear 13MP camera will have PDAF, better than the iPhone 6 and the front camera will be of 8MP which can take 32MP resolution selfies as well as act as an IRIS scanner.

The phone comes with 2300mAh battery, which is a bit small as compared to competitors. But for the sacrifice in battery, you get a super slim body measuring just 6.44mm with 2.5D glass on both the sides. Finally, it will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop version with Funtouch 2.1 OS on top. Of course, this being a Vivo flagship, you get a powerful audio Hi-Fi chip inside. Its the CS4398 + AX97220 op amp, which supports Hi-Fi sound.

For the past few weeks, Vivo has been continuously teasing its upcoming flagship, the Vivo X5Pro. We already know a lot about this device, thanks to these teasers and looks like the company will announce the launch date of the device later today.

Vivo revealed to its fans via its official Weibo page that the company was going to announce something important later today. While, it did not specify what to expect from the announcement, we guess it could be the launch date reveal of the much anticipated Vivo X5Pro.

From the recent leaks and teasers, the Vivo X5Pro is turning out to be an interesting device. The phone is confirmed to feature a double sided 2.5D arch glass design along with a metal frame. The company itself said that  the front facing camera will be powerful enough to capture 32MP resolution images. And we may even see a retina scanner on the device, which will be the first time, a well known phone brand incorporates this tech into a smartphone. The eye recognition system is said to be much more secure and better than fingerprint because it recognizes pattern of the veins in the eyes of the user. So, its almost impossible to crack the code by a third party.

Recent leak even showed us a glowing Vivo logo just below the display which may even act as the home button. However, the company is yet to confirm the presence of such a glowing button. As for the specs, it is said that the phone will feature octa-core 64-bit Snapdragon 615 processor with 3GB RAM, Android 5.0 OS, a powerful rear camera with PDAF (Phase Detection Auto Focus) and a 3500mAh battery. The X5Pro is also rumored to feature the new USB Type-C port along with a powerful audio chipset.

Well, if the company is really going to announce the launch date of the device, it should be sometime before the end of this month. Stay tuned for more information.

Vivo has been consistently teasing its upcoming Vivo X5Pro flagship smartphone in the past few days. Now, finally, the device has hit TENAA revealing a few other aspects like the body and the overall design.

Like we saw in the teasers, the Vivo X5Pro will feature double sided 2.5D glass design. There will be a metal frame around the body where the buttons and the SIM card slots are located. The overall design looks similar to the earlier Vivo smartphones released, however, there are a few changes. For example, now instead of the dual tone color design for the back, the company has decided to go with a single tone white.

Unfortunately, the phone that has hit TENAA does not feature the glowing logo design as previously rumored. Instead, the front design is plain with three capacitive buttons at the bottom. Also, the phone most likely does not feature a fingerprint sensor which is another let down.

Vivo has given out a lot of interesting details about this upcoming flagship. The Vivo X5Pro will feature a super fast PDAF i.e. Phase Detection Auto Focus which is reportedly even faster than the iPhone, a 32MP front facing camera, a retina scanner and USB Type-C port at the bottom.

Overall, the Vivo flagship is turning out to be a decent flagship. The TENAA listing further hints at its launch very soon. So, stay tuned!

Vivo is all set to announce its new flagship, the Vivo X5Pro with an impressive set of specs. We already know a lot about the device, thanks to the official company teasers, but earlier today a new leak revealed further information about the upcoming flagship device.

The alleged pictures of Vivo X5Pro show off a glowing logo just below the display. There aren’t any visible capacitive buttons, so the phone could feature on screen ones. The phone has a simple yet attractive design, looks solid and comes with a glowing Vivo logo at the bottom which further enhances its looks. We have heard rumors about a fingerprint sensor on the device and this particular logo could incorporate that sensor.

You can clearly see the gentle curve of the 2.5D glass on the device, which is exactly what we heard a few days back from another leak. There seems to be an aluminum frame around the body and both the power and volume buttons lie on the right side of the device.

The phone appears to be gigantic, as it covers a significant part of the laptop screen in the picture. So, it looks like the Vivo X5Pro will indeed come with a 6-inch 1080p Full HD display. As for the processor, the phone is rumored to be powered by a Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor running on Android 5.0 with FunTouch 2.1 UI on top. There will be a 3500mAh battery on board.

Vivo has almost confirmed that its first camera can capture 32MP selfies. Even the rear camera will be powerful with a ‘faster than iPhone 6’ Phase Detection Auto Focus (PDAF). Other important features include the new USB Type-C port, a retina scanner and a fingerprint sensor under the glowing logo. Of course, its likely that only one of the two sensor will end up on the device, with the eye scanner being the likely one.

Vivo will announce the device on May 7, which is just around a week away, so stay tuned for more information.

We all know that Vivo is all set to unveil its flagship, the Vivo X5Pro on May 7. We already know some of the features of the device like 2.5D glass design. 6-inch display and Snapdragon 615, however just a few minutes ago, Vivo revealed a very important feature of its upcoming device, the front camera.

It looks like Vivo X5Pro will come with the most powerful front camera on a smartphone. As you can see in the image above, the phone is said to be capable of taking highly detailed 32MP resolution images, which should produce extremely good selfies. This will be great news for all selfie lovers.

However, remember that the 32MP images that will be captured by the front camera will most likely be the result of digital stitching wherein software algorithms produce such high resolution images from just a regular camera sensor. We have seen a similar tech on OPPO Find 7 which produces 50MP pictures. So, expect something similar on the upcoming Vivo device. The actual front camera sensor should be of 13MP or 8MP resolution.

Still, given that the front camera is capable of producing such high resolution images, the technology used should definitely be interesting.

We have already covered the specs and other details of the Vivo X5Pro in our previous article published a few hours back, so you can check them out for more information.

The company will officially unveil the device on May 6,which is just more than week away. So stay tuned for more information.

Another render that cropped up online yesterday, revealed the device in full glory. The design is in line with what we saw earlier, so it could be the real deal. From the picture, it looks like the device will retain the super slim profile as other Vivo devices.

As for the specs, the phone is said to feature a Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor with 3GB RAM on board. There will be a massive 6-inch display up front with a possible retina scanner on top. The phone is said to run on the Android 5.0 Lollipop version with the company’s own Funtouch UI on top and will most likely come with a 3500mAh battery.

Vivo devices are known for their Hi-Fi Audio chips inside, and the Vivo X5Pro model too is expected to feature this chip. One of the highlights of the device is said to be the Phase Detection Focus on the rear camera unit which can focus in on an object in less than 200 milliseconds.

Well, it looks like the Vivo X5Pro will turn out to be a great flagship. Another device, the Vivo XShot 3S is rumored to debut alongside the X5Pro, so we may see both the smartphones on May 7 this year.

After several months of silence, it looks like Vivo is preparing itself for the launch of multiple devices. Earlier this week, the company confirmed that the upcoming Vivo X5Pro flagship will feature a beautiful 2.5D glass. But Vivo may have another device in store for us.

A new leak on Weibo has revealed another Vivo device called as the Vivo XShot 3S. This particular phone could be unveiled alonside the Xshot Pro and is said to feature high-end specs.

The phone is rumoured  to come with a 5.5-inch full HD 1080p display with a powerful Snapdragon 810 octa-core processor underneath. However, the real highlight of the phone will be its 4GB RAM and 64GB ROM which could be expandable.

Like most Vivo devices, this phone is said to be targeted at camera lovers as it will feature a 16MP OIS Rear camera with an 8MP front facing selfie shooter. Finally, the cherry on the top is the laser focus which should definitely improve the focus times.

The phone seems to be using 2.5D glass much like the Vivo X5Pro. At the back, you can see the large sensor, which protrudes from the overall body. Besides it, there’s a dual tone color temperature flash. The picture also reveals that the Vivo XShot 3S will feature a dedicated camera button, which isn’t surprising given that its a camera centric device. Also, the speakers are located at the bottom instead of the tradition rear placement.

The phone is said to be unveiled alongside the Vivo X5Pro in May, which is hardly a few weeks away. So, stay tuned to GizmoChina in the coming days for more news about these two upcoming devices.
