In general, they are mid-range smartphones sporting premium designs, decent hardware including AMOLED display plus octa-core MediaTek chip, and affordable prices.

We predict the Vivo 5 and XL can become strong competitors to handsets like Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 and Lenovo Vibe X3 once going on sale.

Specifically, BLU VIVO 5 is equipped with a 5.5-inch AMOLED HD screen, an octa-core MediaTek 6753 1.3GHz chipset, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. As for the camera, the main cam is capable of 13 megapixels with LED flash and the secondary one is 5 megapixels, good enough for you to take beautiful pictures. Besides, the whole machine is run by a 3,150mAh battery, a dual SIM, 4G LTE and Android 5.1 Lollipop OS.

The VIVO 5 comes with an all-metal body while the VIVO XL is built with a plastic mirror-like finish and a unique pattern detail.
