AnonD-259759, 11 Apr 2016Let me give you some inside news, their strategy is to mark... moreThis was bound to happen one way or the other. Globally Vivo made their first marketing blunder by pitching their models as premium high end phones at an abnormally high prices for a China bound company. They forgot they may be considered as a premium smartphone manufacturer in their hometown, but globally they are just a tiny drop in a sea of manufacturers who are primarily dominated by Apple, Samsung & LG.
It is somewhat true they used to make better built products in the past, but Xiaomi, Lenovo (after their acquisition of Motorola), Meizu and LeEco/LeTv have caught up. If you look at the recent models from Vivo or Oppo they are not throwing in anything new while taking a lot from consumers. Their Chinese sisters on the other hand are providing equivalent specs and quality at half the price.
After extensively using some of their well established models in Vivo X5Max, Vivo V1, & Vivo V1Max I must admit they are capable of producing excellent handsets. It is only when you consider their inflated and unjustified retail price, twice that of an equivalently spec Xiaomi or LeTv handset is when the blunder strikes.
Vivo must now accumulate all it synergies left and project their handsets as value for money else they will perish in the global market. They must stop spending any more in their gimmicky marketing where huge amount of cash being are spend roping in big stars from movie industry and then sponsoring some of the biggest events. Better than loosing all this titanic amounts of cash in marketing and then sucking the same from customers, it should project all its energies in making sure the end customer is truly benefited from their smartphones that are worth every penny.
This is manly because the consumers of today are more powerful & tech friendly than yesteryear's, thanks to the power of internet. Online consumers like us have instant access of information and it does not take much to compare specs and price of smartphones.

For the higher end X series will not be marketed outside of China because they have failed to penetrate the market previously and losing a lot of money. Unless they able to make names with the V3 and V3max, they will not ever invest to market their high end expensive phones globally.

mts, 08 Apr 2016Is this available in India? Will it be better than X5max in... moreI highly doubt the "Elite" version of Xplay5 ever to be released globally. They have taken quite a beating on the international level when it comes to their crazy high pricing. They may consider themselves as a premium smartphone manufacturer in China, but globally they are just like any other Chinese brands Xiaomi, Lenovo or LeEco. Sales figures in India are 1/100th of a Xiaomi or LeEco sales annually. Also their retarded software update policy is frankly unacceptable. Even their flagships like X5Max of X5Pro receive no android version upgrades. You are always stuck with what you have. In my country many people recognize a Xiaomi or a Lenovo instantly, but none are aware of Vivo's existence.
Saying that I own their coveted Vivo X5Max flagship, to me the best smartphone they ever created before XPlay5 Elite was born. Using it for over a year, I admit they were able to make an exceptionally well built phone in X5Max with flawless audio performance which negated the use of my portable high resolution audio player. But the X5Max came at exceptionally high price.
The other aspect to consider is 95% of smartphone buyers do not understand what "HiFi" sound quality stands for. Hence I am finding Vivo in their recent models are offering lower quality and cheaper audio hardware in their models. Take the the example of Xplay5 and its bigger brother Xplay5 Elite, the difference being the normal Xplay5 is using much cheaper "HiFi 1.0" audio hardware architecture while the Elite version gets the "HiFi 3.0" architecture. So expect a massive difference in audio performance between the two, the Elite version being way superior in any which way you consider. The question arises what was the need to produce two versions of Xplay5? The reason I believe is 95% of their consumers will be very happy with the "HiFi 1.0" in the normal Xplay5 version, marketing wise they will still be able to pitch the normal version as a HiFi device and garner more profit by selling it with cheaper hardware.
I believe with their high pricing policy they will stick to the normal version for global release of Xplay5, if it ever happens. Mind you the X6 & X6Plus never got released globally. Unfortunately then Xplay5 with "HiFi 1.0" will have less audio performance than Vivo X5Max with "HiFi 2.0". Which is bad for us music lovers, but not to the rest 95% of their consumers. Hope Vivo turns me wrong a releases the Elite version globally at a justifiable price. I couldn't be more happy then.

AnonD-234645, 10 Mar 2016each CLUSTER is dual core. sum it up to get 4 cores. HONEST... moredon't you knew why they design the processor in that way? read some articles about processors. they call this type of chipset as arm big. little. the two bigger cores are for the max speed parellel in heavy usage, and the two smaller cores are for the slight usage, the main reason is to save electricity for a long lasting battery.
