Vivo XPlay 5 spotted in a live shot
The Vivo XPlay 5 has been frequenting the
rumor mill for quite some time now, with speculations going as far back as
2014. Initially, the device was hailed as one of the supposed early adopters of
the Snapdragon 810 chip. Obviously, that didn't happen, and Snapdragon 810 is
no longer Qualcomm's greatest chip. However, we are still waiting on the
handset, which impresses with a Snapdragon 820 SoC as well as 6GB of RAM - a
world first.
The aforementioned specs have already been
confirmed by Vivo and the launch date set for March 1. There is even an
impressive AnTuTu benchmark score already circulationg online, meaning that all
we are left with is to wait for an actual glimpse of the device itself.
A newly uncovered live shot claims to provide
precisely that. While we have seen renders in the past, a real unit in the
flesh can be used as definitive proof of the Vivo XPlay 5's design. The front
of the phone clearly features a pretty curved display on both sides and Vivo's
typical row of capacitive buttons. As for other suggested specs - the panel
itself is allegedly a 5.5-inch one with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 pixels. We
already mentioned the Snapdragon 820 SoC and whopping 6GB of RAM. Other than
that, we have some insight on the camera setup, which will allegedly consist of
a 16MP rear and 8MP front shooter.
As for pricing and availability, we know the
March 1 unveiling is official and sources suggest that the Vivo XPlay 5 could
cost as much as INR 50,000 although we find that a little too steep to believe.
