Vivo V5s Features

Sporting a cool and minimalist matte black finish, the V5s Matte Black comes with all the features that the selfie generation looks for a premium mobile phone. A 20-megapixel front camera with f2.0 aperture yields sharp, high-resolution pictures with every tap of the screen. Enhancing the brightness of each hoto is a larger-than-usual-light-sensing area, which allows more light in.

High-definitionimages of up to 52 megapixels can also be had with the phone's 13-megapixel rear camera with an f2.2 apeture and ulta-high-definition mode. Because photos are more fun when they're shared with family and friends, the V5s Matte Black ha a landscape-panning effect that enables every member of your barkada to fit in a photo for the ultimate "groufie" shot. Portrait and landscape orientations ensure that no one is left behind or missing in a group picture.

Other advanced features of the V5s Matte Black are the selfie softlight technology, which achieves effects similar to a professional photography studio, including enhanced night mode for stunning selfies in poor lighting conditions; and face beauty mode 6.0, a function that applies beauty touches like softer skin tone or a more masculine look on a subject based on his or her gender.

Multi-taskers will certainly find V5s Matte Black's App Clone useful, as it allows them to log on two different accounts on the same social media app. The App Clone supports popular chat apps like WhatsApp, WeChat, Line, BBM, Zalo, and Viber.
