Vivo launches matte black V5s in Malaysia

Vivo’s selfie-centric V5s which was launched recently last month now comes in a fetching shade of matte black.

The matte black Vivo 5s is otherwise functionally similar to the gold and rose gold variants and comes with the same price tag at RM1,299.

For your money you’re getting a whopping 20-MP front facing selfie snapper with a Sony IMX376 sensor and an F/2.0 aperture with a host of beautification modes. The front camera also sports a Group Selfie mode that lets you cram in extra large groups into a shot.

The rest of the hardware consists of a 5.5-inch HD display, 4GB RAM, 64GB of expandable storage, a Mediatek 1.5Ghz  64-bit octacore processor running Android Marshmallow with their FunTouch 3.0 OS. Of note, the UI also has an App Clone feature that lets you run two copies of Whatsapp, Line, BBM, WeChat and Viber simultaneously on the phone. Handy, that.

The rear camera on the V5s consists of a 13-MP f/2.2 snapper with PDAF and LED flash. The V5s also has an AK4376 DAC chip for superior audio reproduction.

Vivo also announced that the V5s will be available starting from 17 June 2017 with major telco service providers that include Maxis, Digi and Celcom at lower prices or even free on contract as well as local retailers such as Senheng Malaysia and Courts. For more details swing by www.vivo.my
