Selfies are all the rage these days and it seems that smartphone OEMs and even camera companies are starting to create products that will appeal to users who enjoy taking selfies. For instance Vivo is said to be working on a new phone in the form of the X5 Pro and according to a recent teaser posted by the company, its front-facing camera is no joke.
Assuming we got the details right, it seems that the Vivo X5 Pro’s front-facing camera will be that of a 32MP sensor. Yes, you read that right, its front camera will have a higher resolution than the majority of smartphones out there. In fact its 32MP resolution also means that it has a resolution higher than some compact cameras in the market today, that’s insane!
Now we doubt it will be an actual 32MP sensor and we expect it will be similar to the technology Nokia employed on some of its phones where the sensor is of the 8/13MP variety, but thanks to the camera’s software it is able to upscale itself without getting blurry or lose the details in the process. That being said we’re not sure why anyone would need such a high-resolution front-facing camera, but if you do then perhaps the Vivo X5 Pro will be for you.
As for the rest of the phone, the handset is said to feature a 6-inch display and will be powered by a 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 615 processor. It will also come with 3GB of RAM, a 3,500mAh battery, and will run on Android 5.0 Lollipop. It is expected to be officially unveiled in the early part of May.
