Vivo to Launch V5s Smartphone in India on April 27th, Might Feature 16MP Selfie Camera

You are reading a story from PhoneRadar.

After launching the Vivo V5 with 20MP Moonlight camera, Vivo came up with the high-end Vivo V5 Plus with dual selfie cameras. It features a 20MP + 8MP camera setup on the front for capturing high quality selfies along with the wide-angle view. A couple of weeks back, the company also launched the Vivo V5 Plus IPL Edition in all-new Black color. Now, the company is bringing a new smartphone in the V5 series to the Indian market. The device is called as Vivo V5s and will be officially launched on April 27th. Externally the device looks similar to the Vivo V5 with a unibody metal design and a 2.5D curved glass on the front.

While the Vivo V5 came only in Gold color, the upcoming Vivo V5s will be available in Black color. Talking about specifications, the device comes with a 5.5-inch HD display and will be powered by an octa-core processor. It packs 4GB RAM along with a 64GB of internal storage. Unlike the V5, the Vivo V5s comes with a dedicated MicroSD card slot for storage expansion up to additional 128GB. The device will be still running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow based FunTouch OS 2.6. The 3,000mAh non-battery will also remain same on both the Vivo V5 and V5s smartphones.

Beneath the display, we can find the physical home button with fingerprint sensor. We don’t expect the device to feature NFC for authorizing mobile payment services. The cameras will be the USP of the device, especially the selfie camera on the front. While there is no official confirmation, we expect the Vivo V5s to feature a 16MP selfie camera along with a 13MP rear camera. The earlier launched Vivo V5 features a 20MP selfie camera and a 13MP rear camera. Compared to the V5, the New V5s has a slightly downgraded front camera but the rear camera remains same.

On the connectivity front, the device offers 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, 3.5mm Audio port, and a MicroUSB 2.0 port. It will be measuring 153.8 x 75.5 x 7.55 mm and weighs 154 grams. With a 13MP front camera and the doubled onboard storage, we expect the Vivo V5s to cost slightly lower than the Vivo V5. Since the official launch is less than two weeks away, stay tuned on Phone Radar for more details!
