Vivo S5 with Snapdragon 712 chipset and Quad Rear Cameras goes official

After weeks of leaks and teasers, Vivo S5 has finally unveiled at an event in Beijing, China. This is the new smartphone from the brand’s style-centric ‘S’ series. The new phone is a successor to the Vivo S1, which had its debut back in July. So in a span of four months, Vivo has leaped straight to S5. Let’s see what it brings on board to justify the upgrade.

First things first, the phone has a visual novelty to it. To the front, you get a 6.44-inch 20:9 Super AMOLED display with a screen-to-body ratio of 91.38% and 2400×1080 pixel resolution. There is an in-display fingerprint reader as well.

At the back, the phone’s quad cameras are bedecked in a neoteric diamond formation. The sensors are a primary 48MP shooter coupled with 8MP ultrawide, 5MP depth, and 2MP macro unit.

The selfie snapper is a 32MP sensor that sports a super beauty algorithm and a poster correction feature.
