If you are into selfies, the vivo v5 may be your purchase of the year. Thanks to the 20-megapixel sensor on the front, it is a beast when compared to its peers (or even high tiered smartphones!). The soft light technology also ensures that the photos taken will look natural and not too overexposed, unlike other flash-solutions out there.

Single Button Operation
If you were wondering – yes, the vivo v5 doesn’t have any back button. The single fingerprint sensor cum home button is all you get with the phone. If you are used to the Android three-button solution, it will be confusing. However, if you are coming from the iOS environment – it will be very familiar indeed.

Pretty Fly Design
Not only the phone is perfectly ok to use, it is also perfectly ok to be seen with. The design of the phone is reminiscent of a certain fruit company, but it makes it great to blend in with the crowd. The size of the phone is also now the norm of the industry, and it also makes it easier to game on the phone as well.
