Users can take photos using the phone’s 13MP rear camera and the 8MP front camera. The phone is powered by a 2450mAh battery, which seems low considering its price tag.

Earlier this month, Vivo India launched the V series in India, with two models, the V1 (Rs. 17,980) and the V1 Max (Rs. 21,980).

The X5 Pro will be available from August through Vivo outlets and users can pre-book on Vivo India’s website. Those who book before 31st July can stand a chance to win the X5 Pro.

Vivo has revealed plans to set up a manufacturing plant in India over the next few years and are setting up a plant in Noida soon.The company also plans to sell over two million units in India this year, which looks like an uphill task, considering how the likes of Xiaomi and OnePlus are already trying to displace Samsung from its top position in the market.
