Vivo V5 has a unique design and displayAlthough it has a minimalistic design, the Vivo V5 smartphone looks quite premium . Its available in two colour options - Crown Gold and Grey.The front panel is dominated by a 5.5-inch HD display, below which lies a capacitive Home button. Theres also a fingerprint sensor integrated into the button. Above the display, theres the earpiece, the 20MP selfie-camera ( with Moonlight Glow LED flash) . Flipping the phone back, the non-removable rear panel hides a 3, 000mAh
battery . The back has the Vivo branding in the centre, along with the 13MP primary camera and LED flash in the top left corner.Coming to the sides, the volume button and power button are placed on the right, while the SIM tray is on the left. The bottom is where the speaker grille, a microUSB charging/data port . Weighing around 154g, the Vivo V5 is pretty lightweight. However, its also a bit slippery when held in the hand. Coming to the display of the device, I found it to be really good. The Vivo V5 sports a 5.5-inch HD display of 720x1280 pixel resolution. The V5 comes with a software-based eye protection mode, which filters the blue light emitted by the screen to reduce eye strain.Performance and cameraVivo V5 is powered by 1.5 GHz octa-core CPU paired with 4GB of RAM. The Vivo V5 offers 32GB of internal storage, which can be expanded further via microSD cards of up to 128GB in size. It runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow out-of-the-box, The handset also comes with a few pre-installed apps such as Facebook, WhatsApp and WPS Office. Interestingly, the quick settings in the Vivo V5 do not appear on the notification shade, as they do on most Android smartphones. Instead, they show up when the finger is placed on the Home button and scrolled up, much like in the case of devices like Lenovo .The camera app on the V5 comes with eight different filters that can be applied to the images. Other information like watermark, timestamp etc. can be added to the images as well. Overall I suggest that it is a good mobile in the released money and its camera is so good
