The V5 features a unibody design in a sleek and slim form factor. Up front, you have the 20-megapixel selfie camera along with the “moonlight glow” LED flash and earpiece placed above the display. On the other end, there is the non-clickable home button with an integrated fingerprint sensor flanked by capacitive buttons for menu(long press for multitasking) and back on either side. The fingerprint sensor is accurate and fast, unlocking the smartphone in under two seconds mostly. Vivo also claims that it can scan the fingerprint even if your fingers are wet or moist, but in my case, it didn’t work most of the times.There is a metallic rim running along the edges of the smartphone, adding to its look and feel. On the left edge, you have the hybrid-SIM card tray, whereas the right edge has volume rocker and power / sleep buttons. The buttons are easily accessible and they offer click feedback too.

The camera module and LED flash is placed on the top and you have embossed Vivo branding in the center. The thin antenna lines can be seen along the top and bottom half. While other manufacturers are going with metal bodies, it is disappointing to see Vivo using plastic body. Also, the use of plastic makes me wonder if the antenna lines serve any purpose or they arThe V5 sports a 5.5-inch HD(720p) IPS LCD display with pixel density of 267ppi and Corning Gorilla Glass protection. The screen is bright and offers good legibility under direct sunlight. The colors look punchy and blacks look deep too. However, the screen isn’t sharp enough, and it’s something that you’ll notice when you closely look at the app icons. There is also an eye protection mode that adds a yellow filter to the display to reduce strain on eyes while reading from prolonged hours. The use of a 720p HD display is baffling considering most smartphones priced around Rs 10, 000 have good quality 1080p full HD displays and the V5 is priced at Rs 17, 980.e there just for aesthetics. the bottom.The camera app interface is easy to use. You get toggle to switch between front and rear camera, flash control and camera modes on the top, whereas the bottom has quick shortcut to access the gallery, camera shutter button and filters. Vivo has added camera modes such as night mode, HDR and professional mode that lets you play with the shutter speed between 1/5000 and 16 seconds, ISO up to 1600, exposure and auto white balance.
