At the back of the Vivo 5, there's a 13MP camera coupled with a 5MP snapper at the front. The battery is 3,150mAh and the phone runs Android 5.1 Lollipop.

Capable of LTE connectivity, the Vivo 5 also has dual-SIM card slots. Expect the phone to be available next month on Amazon and BestBuy for $199. Available colors are White-Silver and Solid Gold.

BLU Vivo XL

Despite what the phone's name suggests, the Vivo XL features the same 720p 5.5" Super AMOLED display and chipset, but it has slightly downgraded memory specifications.

RAM is down to 2GB, while the internal storage of 16GB supports expansion via microSD card slot. There's a slight difference in terms of the build, as the Vivo XL features a glossy finish complete with a subtle pattern at the back.
