Last year’s vivo Z5x has been re-purposed
with a chipset update for the Chinese market. The new version comes with the
Snapdragon 712 in place of the 710 on last year’s model and now starts at CNY
1,298 (US$ 183) for the 6/128GB trim.
The phone is built around a 6.53-inch IPS
LCD with FHD+ resolution and a punch-hole cutout for the 16MP selfie shooter.
The back houses another 16MP camera, alongside an 8MP ultrawide shooter and 2MP
depth helper. There’s also a capacitive fingerprint scanner.
The phone boots Funtouch OS 9 on top of
Android 9 Pie and packs a 5,000 mAh battery which supports 18 wired charging.
It’s also available in an 8/128GB version which will go for CNY 1,598 (US$ 226).
The Z5x is already up for sale in China in black, blue and white colors.
