Design and Display
This beauty shows off a solid and durable construction. The body of the Vivo Xplay 5 is made entirely of metal fitting of a high-end device. The face is protected by tough, scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass 4.
Users are in for awesome gaming and movie watching time when you consider the 5.43-inch Super AMOLED Quad HD display the phone is fitted with. The stunning display has dual curved edges.
Camera
The Vivo Xplay 5 is regally decked out in the camera department as well. It comes with a robust 16-megapixel rear camera made by Sony. The shooter features fast phase detection autofocus and dual-tone LED flash.
As if the primary camera is not impressive enough, the phone’s Chinese maker also provided a robust 8-megapixel sensor on the front for spectacular selfies.
Hardware and Software
For the innards, the Xplay 5 packs an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 chipset which has four cores running at 1.8 GHz and another four cores at 1.4 GHz.
This is one impressive CPU that should get things moving along with minimal glitches. While the phone loses the jaw-dropping 6GB RAM of its Elite version, the 4 GB of RAM provided is scarcely surpassed by any other device.
Internal storage is 128 GB, but that is all you have to make do with as you will not be able to extend this using a microSD card. The Vivo Xplay 5 boots Android 5.1 Lollipop software plastered with Vivo’s latest Funtouch launcher offering split-screen support.
