vivo X5Max

At 5.1mm thick, the X5Max was built around its slim profile, paired with a 5.5-inch Super AMOLED screen running at 1080 x 1920 pixels. That's a sharp panel for its time, at roughly 401 ppi. Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 615 chipset with an octa-core Cortex-A53 setup and Adreno 405 graphics, backed by 2GB RAM and 16GB storage that can be expanded via microSD up to 128GB, though doing so means giving up the second SIM slot.

The rear camera comes in at 13MP with autofocus and LED flash, while the front camera sits at 5MP for the era's typical selfie needs. Video tops out at 1080p at 30fps. Battery capacity is 2300mAh, non-removable, which is on the smaller side given the screen size, so heavy users should expect to charge more than once a day.

vivo X5Max price in Malaysia starts from RM1799. It ships in White, runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat with Funtouch OS 2.0 on top, and supports dual SIM with LTE connectivity.
