Good day steemit, today I am going to unbos and review one of the selfiecentric smartphone that launched the very first msartphone with 20MP front facing camera, so lets see whats inside the box, I am going to unbox the vivo v5 first.
The box includes a white thin vivo headset, microusb cable, charger AC adapter, a soft transparent casing. A small thin metal for pinhole, and the vivo v5 itself
Vivo v5 has 5.5 inch HD display with 720p maxing resolution and it has fairly thin bezelscoz the 2.5D curved edge makes the screen thinner,
it looks like generic and doesn’t offers anything new like the other smartphone designs out there. With its 5.5 HD display it produces a decent brightness and effective contrast, vivo v5 has HI-FI audio chip, listening to music on headset, it has satisfying sound with wide range of details…
This mobile runs android 6 marshmallow with the vivo companys funtouch OS that is look more similar to iphones UI, the interface looks so neat and fluid for naviogation..
One of the best feature of this mobile is it has a finger prints scanner on the bottom and its not a physical botton that you can press down but its still a home botton,besides on that back and options backlit keys.
It has a plain and simple up front. The 20MP front of this mobile is made up of 5p lens system that should delivered quality photos. On the roght side on the top of the screen is the light sensor and the soft light flash for shooting selfies in dark places…
The 13mega pixel shooter with phase detection and auto focus beside it has LED flash. The right corner of the mobile are vol rocker and the power/lock botton, meanwhile on the left side houses the hybrid simtray.
The v5 stuck to having a micro usb port instead of HAVING a usb type C. but however it supports OTG features.
It sports with 64bit octa-core processor unit from mediate with 4G of ram. Switching app to app showed no lags and no program were crashing it actually capable of doing heavy tasks like gaming and running heavy apps.. it scored 41,500 on antutu..
