Vivo X6S Plus appears at TENAA in pink


vivo x6s plus

With still no sign of the Vivo Xplay 5 or a new Xshot we will just have to fill our Vivo fix with the Vivo X6S Plus which passed through TENAA this week.

The latest version of the Vivo X6 line comes with (according to TENAA) a 5.7-inch AMOLED display with a 1920 x 1080 FHD resolution, 4GB RAM, 1.8Ghz processor and 64GB internal memory plus a built-in 3000mAh battery.

Gizchina News of the week


The 7.7mm thin phone gets a pink finish option and a fingerprint scanner, but perhaps the nicest update is to the cameras. With an 8 mega-pixel camera for selfies and a 16 mega-pixel on the rear coupled with Funtouch camera features, it should be quite the shooter.

Pricing and a launch date are to come, and may even include a release date in India.

    1.8 GHz , now which SoC uses that ?

      Judging by the clock, it can be a downclocked version of both snapdragon 652 or 810 (since other sources I’ve read speak of an octacore chip)

        Thanks Twister12, but only Chinese phone. No Sammy, HTC, iPhone, Motorola, Sony, or Lumia.

          Take the Vivo Xshot then. Great camera I can vouch for it because I have one.

            What’s the screen size? I want at least 5.5″

            • Twister12
              January 24, 2016

              It’s only 5.2.

      Vivo xshot is one of the best so far, letv le1 (NOT 1s) is good and cheaper, or gionee elife e7 (wich is my current phone, and it’s great for camera), or meizu mx5… The choice depends on your budget

      • Bility

        Thanks MattD, I actually have Letv Le1 but I don’t use it because I can’t hide anything or lock my Apps. I like to lock my photo app so people can’t see my pictures without my permission but that is not possible on Le1 so it’s just here in my draw hopefully there will be international ROM that may have those functions then I will use it. I have never used it since I bought last year when I realised that I can not hide my pictures. I have not taken any pictures with it so I don’t know how good the camera is.

          Can’t you just use a third part app to lock the gallery?

            I tried few just over complicated I just want something very simple

      My favorite camera phones are Vivo Xshot, Gionee Elife E7, Nubia Z7, Xiaomi Mi4 and Meizu MX5.

      • Bility
        January 24, 2016

        Thanks, but which one of these will be ur first choice?

        • balcobomber25
          January 24, 2016

          It would be a tie between Vivo Xshot and Gionee E7. Vivo Xshot is slightly better but it also harder to find and can cost a lot. The E7 can be found as little $150.

            I have ruled out Xshot because of screen size, I mean she’s using Oppo R7 Plus (6″) wouldn’t want to go back to smaller screen. I don’t know the size of E7 but I will check.

            Hi Balco, I found a Gionee E7 for Euro 130. And I am very happy with this smartphone.

      Redmi Note 3 Pro has an upgraded 16MP rear camera.

    Disappointed with the design ….a mere copy of iPhone

    • balcobomber25
      January 23, 2016

      Vivo has been using this design since the X1 which came out in 2012.

      • sai bhagavan
        January 23, 2016

        But I find this more or less a look alike of iPhone

        • balcobomber25
          January 23, 2016

          I find it more like a natural progression of the original X1

            January 24, 2016

            am sorry ……designs are a subjective…..one may like or may not or feel like they have copied…i can’t help that…

            • balcobomber25

              The above phones came out in 2012, the Iphone 6 came out in 2014. Paint the above phone pink and make the antenna lines white and it’s the same exact look.

        “everyone always copy iphone, often even a couple of years before apple actually implement that idea on the iphone”
