Vivo V5
The world seems to have gone smart today! And so has photography. Along with the evolution of telephony and photography lifestyles have changed, fads have emerged and faded, but one of the most enduring and popular phenomenon that has taken the digital world by storm is the innocuously named “Selfie”.
Ever wondered how the “selfie” evolved? The “Selfie” could be traced back to 1839 when an American called Robert Cornelius produced a daguerreotype of himself. It is fascinating to note that as the process was slow, he was able to run in front of the lens and head back to replace the lens cap to capture what could be termed as the first “Selfie”, though the term was unheard of then. It was much later, in 2002 that an Australian used the term “Selfie”, for the first time to describe a photo he had taken of his own bruised face, injured after a drunken birthday party. By 2012 ‘Selfie” had become so popular that it was considered as one of the top 10 Buzzwords of the year by Time magazine. 2013 saw the Oxford English Dictionary honor it as the ‘Word of the Year”. Today Selfies rule the roost and people, especially the younger generations revel in Selfies with Selfies at every point of their lives.
Smart phones today have in more senses than one become synonymous with Selfies, however not all selfies are flattering and leave a lot to be desired in terms of aesthetics. The lighting, the resolution and many other specifications of the smartphone play a role in determining the quality of a selfie.
Imagine you are having a romantic walk with your beloved in the garden, the fragrance of multiple flowers wafting in the breeze as you walk hand in hand serenaded by silvery moonbeams. You pause to take a selfie, realizing the magic of the moment calls for one. But lo and behold! The magic is not captured in the selfie. In situations like these Vivo 5, the first ever 20 Megapixel front camera phone for a good moonlight selfie would be an ideal companion who would not let you down.
The Vivo V5 is embellished with a 20 Megapixel selfie camera and also equipped with a front-facing “Moonlight Glow” front camera light which improves the quality of pictures when the light is low.
The unique “Moonlight Glow” feature of Vivo 5 creates a natural glow on the face without straining eyes which results in the picture brightening up even in bad lighting conditions. Additionally, the features of the camera ensure perfectly clear images without distortion or graininess.
Another important quality of the Vivo 5 is its audio output which has an excellent signal to noise ratio of 115db.
The camera has a f/2.0 aperture along with a Sony IMX376 sensor plus a 5P lens. Vivo 5, apart from being an ideal selfie companion also comes pre-loaded with Face Beauty 6.0 app. It accommodates dual SIM’s and runs on Funtouch 2.6 OS which again is based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow.

the Vivo mobiles all series are nice with best features, thank you for sharing the blog.
There were so many people last weekend who wished they had their selfie sticks.
How cool! My daughter would like this. She loves taking photos of herself. I rarely do it though, it’s just not my thing.
I’ve never heard of this phone, but it sounds legit! Unfortunately I just got a new phone, so I won’t be getting another one for awhile!
Wow, I didn’t know selfie has a long history! The camera looks great, will definitely consider this when I plan to buy a new phone 🙂
It looks like a great phone! Especially for people who love taking pictures and selfies. I love that it has so much to offer!
Um, that phone looks super cool!
I really love anything that can help me photograph from my phone better! Looking into it now!
We love this moonlight glow feature. We’ve had so many bad low light photos. We’ll definitely check out the Vivo V5. It sounds awesome.
I do love taking selfies but never heard about this phone before! Thanks for introducing me with this brend! I will check it ou for sure!
This phone looks awesome, 20 megapixels is unheard of for camera phones, let alone the front facing camera. Thanks for sharing this awesome news!
I’ve not heard of this phone before, what a great idea.
The vivo v5 moonlight camera mobile looks legit. i got to check this out. nice pictures.
Never heard of this phone but a “moonlight” flash for selfies and 20 megapixels is great! Finally a front selfie light!
We are in the market for a new phone. I will have to check this out. I like the camera features for sure!
These are great tips! I’ve always wanted to try out a selfie stick!
Phones have evolved big time. The moonlight selfie feature of the Vivo 5 is very convenient especially if you’re traveling. I love how the maker of this phone understood the ‘selfie’ culture of most people.
I love my iPhone so much, but I know the quality of pictures isn’t as great as some of the other phones out on the market. I wish my camera would produce pics like this!
I just read another review of this phone and its making me want to get this as a next phone.

Wow this phone has awesome features. I am planning to buy new phone in January, i will definitely go for this.
I have never heard of this before. This is definitely a step up from the regular selfie!
I usually shy away from front facing cameras, but this one looks pretty powerful! Thanks for sharing all this detailed info!
That is a quite a difference in picture quality. Thanks for the review.
Oh wow this is definitely super interesting! Such a huge difference…

Sounds like this phone has so many great features. I believe that the camera is almost just as important as the phone itself, especially since the beginning of selfies.
Wow! 20 mp front camera?! And I thought Oppo’s 16 mp front camera was already impressive!
What a cool phone! Definitely a contender for my next upgrade!
me likes, Will have to go out and get one of these for sure, always complaining about my phone photos, Which take lots of pics for blog and hate carrying around my DLSR so I use my yucky phone pics. This one looks perfect.
This is the first time that I heard about this phone and sounds good to me.
