It looks like it lies head to head in competition with OnePlus 3T, but at the end of the day, it depends on which Smartphone offers more effective variables. Let’s highlight what Vivo V5 Plus has tendered for its consumers.
Vivo V5 Plus has extracted many of its design traits from Vivo V5, especially with the same positioning of buttons. You will find your fingerprint scanner and the home button at the bottom of the display at the front (both are housed in a single button). Two camera units, an ambient light sensor, and a selfie flash are all accompanied by the top panel up front. On the bottom edge, you can see a headphone jack, speaker, and the micro USB port. The SIM card tray is engraved on the left edge with the power button and the volume rocker on the right. The antenna bands look slick along the edges, obviously inspired by the new iPhone 7. Full metal back with just the Vivo logo and the rear camera gives the phone a really clean appeal. You will love the premium metal finish, narrow bezels and the 7.26mm thin profile, it just feels great in the hand.
Vivo V5 Plus comes with a 5.5 inch IPS full HD display with protective Gorilla Glass 5 Corning’s and a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels. Color reproduction is beautifully correlated the brightness is good enough for eligible readability in the sunlight, with the only difficulty imposed due to the slightly reflective screen. The viewing angles are great, it is covered with 2.5D curved glass which adds to the perfection of the display. Sharp images with crisp and vibrant images are produced so there is basically nothing which you could miss out on the display.
V5 Plus is packed with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 Octa-Core processor with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage.

You get a 3055 mAh battery supported with fast charging. It’s possible to extend the battery life for a day and a half, but if you’re a heavy user it will last you for about a full day. Above all the Dual-engine quick charging support takes about 2 hours to fully charge the phone. At the end of the day, we don’t have any liable complaints on the performance of Vivo V5 Plus.
