At the Beijing National Aquatics Center, VIVO unveiled two new smartphones that will be of great interest to those who place priority on solid specs, metal bodies, and Super AMOLED displays; the VIVO X6 and the VIVO X6 Plus. Earlier this November, the new product line had been teased by the Chinese OEM, and more recently one of the two had been sighted taking a certification stroll through China’s TENAA. The X6 starts at roughly ₹27K while the China Unicom version costs roughly ₹26K. The X6 Plus is priced at roughly ₹33K with China Unicom version costs roughly ₹31K.
The VIVO X6 has a 5.2-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display, a 1.7GHz MediaTek MT6752 Octa Core SoC with Mali T760 graphics, 4GB of RAM, 32GB of on-board storage, a 13-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front camera, microSD support, a fingerprint sensor, a 2,400 mAh battery, 4G LTE, and Dual SIM support. It measures 147.9 x 73.8 x 6.6 mm and weighs 135 grams. The X6 Plus runs VIVO’s own Funtouch OS layered above an Android 5.1 base.
The VIVO X6 Plus has a 5.7-inch Full HD Super AMOLED display, a a 1.7GHz MediaTek MT6752 Octa Core SoC with Mali T760 graphics, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of on-board storage, a 13-megapixel rear camera and 8-megapixel front camera, microSD support, a fingerprint sensor, a 3000 mAh battery, 4G LTE, and Dual SIM support. It has ES9028 and Yamaha YSS-205X Hi-Fi Audio as well. The X6 Plus runs VIVO’s own Funtouch OS layered above an Android 5.1 base.
While the phones have slightly different specs, both are made of an aluminum-magnesium alloy which the company indicates takes 57 different steps to produce, including laser engraving and polishing by hand. Each has a fingerprint sensor that VIVO claims will read 360 degrees and unlock the device in 0.4 seconds. With respect to photography, the rear camera on both the VIVO X6 and VIVO X6 Plus have Phase Detection Auto-Focus, HDR, and a f2.2 aperture lens. VIVO’s official site for the pair of phones specifically calls the display “Super AMOLED” which is Samsung’s branding for the EL technology. To this end it can be assumed Samsung has, therefore, supplied the panels.
