Vivo broke the suspense when it announced the Xshot phone in China, and for now, this device would be available in the Chinese market with no details about the International availability. The Xshot is the high-end device from Vivo, and it comes with a 5.2-inch 1080p LCD display. Based on the internal specs, the Vivo Xshot will be available in two variants –
- Flagship one will have the Snapdragon 801 SoC, quad-core chipset clocking at 2.5 Ghz, along with 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage
- Elite version having the Snapdragon 800 processor, quad-core chipset clocking at 2.3 Ghz, along with 2GB RAM and 16GB internal storage
The phone comes with the LTE connectivity, Maxim MAX97220 headphone amplifier, 2600 mAh battery and it would have the Funtouch OS from Vivo, which is based on Android 4.4 Kitkat. The name suggests something about the camera, which is the main area of focus from Vivo, as both the cameras in the device come with a lot of inclusions as expected –
- 13-megapixel rear camera, f/1.8 aperture from Sony with the OIS, two stage shutter button, Dual tone LED flash and the 4k video recording
- 8-megapixel front camera, LED flash
The inclusion of the LED for the 8MP front camera is something new and helpful for capturing selfies in the dark conditions.
Both the versions of the Vivo Xshot are going to be available by the end of May 2014, and the pricing is set at CN¥3,498 (about $560) for the flagship version, and CN¥2,998 (about $480) for the Elite version.
Earlier: Vivo Xshot Android Phone with highest AnTuTu Score – to come on May 7th – Specs, Details
AnTuTu benchmark site witnesses the first ever handset to cross the 40,000 barrier. You read it right! Vivo Xshot is a new high end Android smart phone from Vivo. This device is going to be unveiled on May 7th, the same day when the Huawei’s Ascend P7 is getting unveiled in Paris. We have got an image from the company that shows the unveiling date of this device.
The Vivo Xshot is surely a powerful device and we can say that it will compete with many high end devices in the market as soon as it gets launched. The device has the new Snapdragon 801 (MSM8974AC) chip set that we saw in the OnePlus One smart phone and will clock at 2.5 GHz coupled with 3 GB of RAM and will also feature 32 GB of internal storage. The Vivo Xshot will be running on Android 4.3 Jelly Bean Operating System currently and we can expect it to be upgraded to KitKat OS by the time it launches, making it powerful in the OS column also. It will be coming with the screen resolution of 1080 x 1920.
The main notable feature here is the rear camera of the device that is a 24 MP shooter that will be coming with Sony Exmor sensor that is enabled with OIS and an aperture of f/1.8 that is better that what we have seen in many high end model phones, capable of taking great images in the low light conditions also. This 24 MP rear facing camera is accompanied with a 7.68 MP camera on the front for making high quality video calls. Moreover the device is expected to have a Xenon flash on the rear which will give high quality pictures unlike the LED flash that we see in most of the Smart phones.
Two Chinese companies are launching their flagship model smart phones on the same day (Vivo Xshot and Huawei Ascend P7). There is no word on the pricing of the device yet and can expect more information will be given on May 7th.
