Vivo S5 Officially Teased, Comes with Diamond-Shaped Camera Setup

Chinese phone maker Vivo just revealed that their upcoming Vivo S5 series is on the way. The company did indeed announce the smartphone is officially coming on November 14th; along with the endorsement of Cai Xukun, a famous Chinese singer, dancer, rapper and songwriter.

In the official renders released over on Weibo, we can finally have a look at real design of the device. The Vivo S5 comes with a OLED display and a camera hole in upper right corner. We see these two technologies together for the first time on a Chinese phone. The only other devices with this tech are indeed the Samsung S10 and Note 10 series.

The render also confirms a very talked about aspect of the phone: its camera configuration. The Vivo S5 does indeed appear to feature a diamond-shaped camera setup. In particular, we see three cameras in the diamond at the center and a flash, plus an additional one just below.

So, Vivo will be bringing something different in this market filled with either iPhone X or Huawei Mate 20 clones (we're talking about the camera setup alone).

As for the resolutions of all these cameras. We currently know the primary rear shooter will have a resolution of 48MP. Meanwhile the camera at the front will be able to snap 32MP high res selfies.

Finally, the only other spec on the Vivo S5 we know from a previous certification is the support for 22.5W fast charging.
