The Xplay 5 Elite runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop, skinned with the latest Funtouch launcher with split-screen multitasking support. It will launch on March 8 in China and will set you back CNY 4,288 ($655).

impressive specs
I wouldn't pay $900 for a lesser-known Chinese phone though

The spec is amazing but as mentioned, i have never heard of vivo. I wonder how the camera stacks up to Galaxy S7 and Mi5. The the 4-axis that Mi5 has seems promising.

Is actually really popular in China. Although I don't have much experience but I do see ppl using it.

vivo is ok, my friend has one

vivo problem is marketing, which is why u never heard of them and also why its not really popular in China

there are also companies like zoppo, gionee and so on but ppl dont tend to notice them due the marketing

Vivo and OPPO are both owned by BBK Electronics. They are well established electronics makers and not to be confused with no name brands.

vivo phones emphasizes hifi and multimedia experience, whereas oppo claims to have best camera. OPPO is registered in USA, Vivo isn't, but both are targeting internationally due to expansion
