New Delhi, December 11 – There is a new war going on in the smartphone space. It is not about clock speeds, not about processor cores, and neither about the megapixel count.
It is about the phone’s size zero quotient. On Wednesday, Chinese smartphone maker Vivo announced the X5 max, which it is billing as the ‘world’s thinnest smartphone’.
The phone will be available in China on December for 2998 yuan or Rs.30,000 approximately. The company is also hosting a press event in India on December 22, where it is expected to announce the product for India.
Moreover, yes, if the figures are right, then the Vivo X5 Max at 4.75mm is the world’s thinnest mobile phone. It outdoes Oppo’s recently announced R5 smartphone by just 0.10mm.
The Vivo X5 Max is also no slouch when it comes does down to the hardware. It trots the new 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a big 5.5-inch fullHD screen.
If that is not enough then, the phablet also has a 13-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel camera on the front. Vivo goes as far to claim that its motherboard/logicboard is just 1.7mm thick, a feat unheard of.
The phone also touts dual-SIM capabilities, along with a microSD card expansion supporting up to 128GB of storage. The phone runs on Android 4.4 KitKat running Vivo’s own skin called FunTouch 2.0.
