The Chinese handset maker, Vivo is known for its selfie centric smartphone and is fast becoming a household name in the Indian market. It has now come up with a new handset called Vivo V5s, which again is a selfie smartphone with a powerful front camera. While the device comes with decent specifications, it is still the front camera that remains the highlight of the handset.
20-megapixel Sony IMX376 camera sensor with f/2.0 aperture: The camera on the front panel of this handset is Sony IMX376 camera sensor that has a resolution of 20 Megapixels. This makes the camera on this handset the best selfie camera in the market. Moreover, the aperture size is F/2.0, which means that the camera can take in more light and produce brilliant images.
2.5D curved glass: This handset comes with a massive 5.5-inch display on the front panel, which is a delight to watch. The resolution is HD viz. 720 x 1280 pixels, which further enhances the whole viewing experience. It comes with 2.5D curved glass on top, which makes it comfortable to hold and operate.
Front moonlight flash: Not only is the front camera one of the most powerful in the business, it also comes with a moonlight flash accompanying it. This means that the handset can capture impressive images even in low light.
Hybrid SIM: To have the option to use dual SIM and microSD card in a handset and yet not be able to use them together is a big deal breaker. Handset maker must offer a dedicated expandable storage apart from dual SIM and V5S is also missing the same like most handsets being launched now.
Dated Android: At a time, when all new smartphones are coming with the latest Android Nougat operating system, Vivo V5S stands out and not for a good reason. This handset comes with a very dated Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system, which wont sit well with may users.s
