Chinese handset brand, Vivo at MWC 2015 on Monday launched a variant of its contender for the 'world's slimmest smartphone' crown dubbed the Vivo X5Max+. It had a slightly increased thickness of 5.1mm (because of bigger battery) instead of the original's 4.75mm thickness.
The Vivo X5Max+ is priced the same as the X5Max at CNY 2,998 (approximately Rs. 29,500), and still runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box.
Just like the X5Max, the Vivo X5Max+ features 5.5-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixels) Super Amoled display, but packs an octa-core 64-bit MediaTek MT6752 processor clocked at 1.7GHz instead of the 64-bit octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor (quad-core 1.7GHz + quad-core 1GHz), along with same 2GB of RAM. Notably, the firm was very much criticised for heating issues in X5Max.
On camera front, the Vivo X5Max+ packs the same 13-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a front 5-megapixel camera. The 16GB inbuilt storage on the X5Max+ is expandable via microSD card (up to 128GB).
