Vivo X5 Pro release date, specs: features include retinal scanner and 32 MP front camera sensor

 Twitter

With Chinese smartphone companies on the rise, Vivo is another name that can be added to that list as the firm gears up to launch its X5 Pro smartphone. Vivo X5 Pro is going to be different compared to the remaining handsets thanks to a unique security contingency known as a retinal scanner. While a number of smartphones add an additional layer of security by incorporating a fingerprint scanner, Vivo has taken it one step further and placed a retinal scanner instead.

According to Phone Arena, X5 Pro is also expected to feature a 32 megapixel front camera sensor, which is far more compared to the maximum image resolution that rear smartphone camera sensors are able to produce. However, as far as the components that are responsible for showcasing the performance side of a mobile computing device, X5 Pro looks to be a disappointment. This is because the smartphone is incorporated with Qualcomm Snapdragon 615, which is a mid-ranged SoC, along with 2 GB of RAM and an Adreno 405 GPU.

However, according to Android Authority, battery timing is going to be one of the perks of purchasing the handset because Vivo X5 Pro is expected to feature a massive 4,150 mAh battery. While no details are available on whether the battery is going to be a lithium ion or lithium polymer type, it will be able to deliver at least 2 days of backup time before it requires to be plugged in again.

Vivo has not stated the pricing details of the smartphone but considering that it features a retinal scanner, a 32 MP front camera sensor and a 4,150 mAh battery, it can automatically be assumed that the device is not going to come cheap. The company will most likely be unveiling the smartphone on May 13, 2015, along with other important details that consumers might be interested to find out before coming to a purchasing decision.
