Vivo launches V5Plus, a 20MP dual front camera smartphone

V5Plus is an amalgamation of cutting-edge technology, immaculate design and breakthrough innovation, with a better resolution display and a much powerful battery. V5Plus comes in gold colour, and is priced at Rs. 27,980.

V5Plus is the first innovation from Vivo that offers dual front cameras for the Indian smartphone users. The amalgamation of the two lenses, i.e. 20 MP and 8 MP will ensure that a device captures the much-needed depth of field thus letting you capture a perfect selfie.

Kent Cheng, CEO, Vivo India, said, "We are delighted to launch V5Plus in India. Vivo has revolutionised the selfie experience with its first-ever 20MP front camera. Our latest offering, the V5Plus is the outcome of our innovative pursuit to consistently raise the bar and create a transcendental experience for our customers. The dual front camera in the device makes pictures and videos more immersive with a wider colour gamut. With V5Plus, we are confident that Vivo's new offering will be a defining moment in the much in-vogue selfie phenomenon that is here to stay."

The device is equipped with dual lenses i.e 20 MP, 8 MP to offer crystal clear selfies with a rear 16MP camera to capture landscape. The dual front camera creates a depth-of-field effect that keeps faces sharp while creating a blurred background which is enhanced by digital optical algorithms. Advanced camera technology gives users the power to add focus even after the picture has been clicked. Users can shoot first and then select the desired focus area, adding Bokeh effect wherever necessary.

V5Plus runs on newly upgraded Funtouch OS 3.0 Operating System (based on Android 6.0). It comes with a 4GB RAM, 64GB ROM and a robust Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 Octa-core CPU. The design of V5 Plus 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.

V5 Plus 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. V5 Plus also comes with the custom-built AK4376 Hi-Fi audio chip that provides an enhanced sound quality by giving a signal-to-noise ratio experience of up to 115dB.

V5 Plus offers a faster fingerprint unlocking technology that unlocks the screen in 0.2 seconds. The updated fingerprint recognition technology allows you to access your 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.
