For a few months now, Vivo has been showing the world teasers of its X5 Max Smartphone but it has now been finally launched in India on the 15th of December. Until recently the Oppo R5 was considered the world’s thinnest phone but this title has been taken over by X5 Max from Vivo.
What is interesting is that both Vivo and Oppo are brands of BBK electronics of China! Although, the initial images raised curiosity, the launch has now revealed the technological and aesthetic beauty of the X5 Max. The phone is only 4.75 mm in thickness!
Vivo has continuously been in the race to make the thinnest Smartphone and at times beating its own record too. The brand enjoyed the title in 2013 too when it launched the X3 and now with X5 Max it hopes to regain its crown.
How did Vivo Manage to manufacture such a Thin Phone?
The brand has very ingeniously removed a lot of material from behind the screen and put them on the sides. This includes removing almost 90% of the internals.
Another interesting fact about the phone is that it has not compromised on certain useful features that many people like such as the memory slot and even the 3.5 mm audio jack. These are still very much a part of the ultra thin phone.
Features of X5 Max
- The phone runs on Android 4.4 KitKat.
- The phone has an aluminum frame and a 5 inch HD screen with super AMOLED display.
- 64 bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 octal core chip powers this sleek and sophisticated looking phone
- A 2 GB RAM
- Internal storage of 16 GB
- Expandable memory
- It offers 35 and 4G connectivity
- A 13 Megapixels rear camera with LED flash
- 5 megapixel front camera
- Dual Sim feature
It is two unique features that set the Vivo brand apart from the rest and that is Hi-Fi and Smart.
It seems that the target customers of the company are the youth who are full of ambitions and aspirations to take on the new world and stay on top of new trends and technologies. Vivo’s marketing partnership with one of India’s’ largest entertainment network Viacom 18 is considered to be a strategically sound move on part of the Chinese company for its entry into the Indian market.
Vivo is also believed to launch a few more phones in the Indian market keeping the young generation in India eagerly anticipating the newer technology.
