After weeks of using the vivo V5, we are convinced that the phone will find a niche audience, an intersection of selfie lovers and audiophiles. Now, that niche may be tiny but we have to say that the V5 is not a bad phone by any stretch. Also, while the...

The Vivo V5 has the stylish design and backed by decent hardware which can handle the various task. If you are a selfie lover then this phone take pictures to next level. But as per the hardware core configuration, the phone didn;t impress us much....

Vivo did a great job with the V5 Plus, but the V5 is certainly the less impressive product in the duo. The recycled design, the low-end chipset, the low-res screen, the mediocre main camera, the average battery life, and the old Funtouch launcher aren't...
