Price last checked: 24 Jan 2017. Confirm current price before buying.
Specs here reflect a 2014 release, so this is a budget entry-level device by today's standards. The vivo X5 runs on an octa-core 1.7GHz Cortex-A53 chipset paired with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage, expandable via microSD up to 128GB. Its 5-inch IPS LCD screen keeps things compact at 141g and just 6.3mm thick, and it runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat with vivo's Funtouch OS layered on top.
Camera-wise, you get a 13MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, plus a 5MP front camera for basic selfies. Features like HDR, panorama, and touch focus are onboard too, though video tops out at 1080p and 30fps. A 2250mAh battery handles the power side; it's a modest capacity but matched to the smaller screen and older chipset it needs to run.
vivo X5 price in Malaysia starts from RM599, and it comes in White. Connectivity covers dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and LTE, so it still handles the basics even if the hardware feels dated next to newer releases.
