Vivo XPlay 5 Smartphone With 6GB Of RAM Gets Official

The Vivo Xplay 5 Elite is a costlier, hence a more powerful version of the Xplay 5.

Vivo is all set to launch its long-rumored smartphone, the Xplay 5 in China later today. The Xplay 5 and its Ultimate Edition sibling have the same design and build but differ in processors as well as RAM. The Elite variant comes with the latest Snapdragon 820 chipset and a whopping 6GB of RAM. The new flagship smartphone has just been announced with 6GB of RAM and dual-edge curved display.

Chinese smartphone maker Vivo has launched a new phone with 6GB of memory, a 5.5 inch, 2560 x 1440 pixel AMOLED display with curved glass edges, 128GB of storage, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor. It also includes 128GB of built-in storage and the same 3600mAh built-in battery as the Flagship Edition.

The Xplay 5 Elite has a rear 16MP (Sony IMX298) snapper with phase-detection AF and dual-tone LED flash, plus an 8MP selfie snapper at the front.

Both the XPlay 5 & XPlay 5 Ultimate Edition are build into an Aluminum-Magnesium alloy body that offers great strength to the device.

While numerous phone's specs are state-of-the-art, there are a few slightly less impressive aspects: the Vivo Xplay5 ships with Android 5.1 software, for instance, and lacks support for NFC or wireless charging.

Connectivity comes in the form of WiFi, Bluetooth and 4G+ which offers download speed of up to 300 Mbps. Another feature is a rear fingerprint sensor, and a further benefit is split-screen multitasking.

The phones go on sale in China first from March 8.
