At an event in China, Vivo announced two new smartphones, the Vivo Xplay 5 Elite with 6GB of RAM and dual edge display, and the Vivo Xplay 5 with 4GB of RAM and dual edge display.
As expected, Vivo finally unveiled its Xplay 5 Elite and Xplay 5 smartphones at an event in China. The Xplay Elite is one of world’s first smartphone to come equipped with a whopping 6GB of RAM. The key talking points of both smartphones is the metal unibody construction and the dual-edge display just like Samsung’s Galaxy S6 Edge and Galaxy S7 Edge. While both smartphones come with the same design, the Xplay 5 is the slightly affordable variant with a few key differences.

Vivo Xplay 5 Elite specifications and features: The metal clad smartphone flaunts a 5.43-inch Super AMOLED QHD display running at 1440x2560pixels and covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 4 protection to keep scratches at bay. Under the hood is Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 820 chipset paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB onboard storage. Unfortunately, there is no microSD card slot for further expansion. While one would question whether a smartphone really needs 6GB of RAM or not, it will be important to see how Vivo manages to make the best use of the memory.
On the camera front, the Xplay 5 Elite is equipped with Sony’s IMX298 16-megapixel rear snapper with LED flash and phase detection auto-focus (PDAF). Up front, there is an 8-megapixel front facing camera for selfies and video calls.

It runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop wrapped under Funtouch launcher with split-screen multitasking support. In China, it is priced at CNY 4,288, which roughly translates to Rs 44,500. At the moment, there is no word on availability in other regions.
