Gizchina News of the week
While we now know the release date of the Vivo X1 is going to be 20th November we still have no official word on pricing, and BBK are giving away no clues on their test site where the price has been set a 9999 Yuan ($1600) to keep us guessing 🙂
Quad-core Vivo X3 also due in November?
Rumour of a larger and more powerful quad-core Vivo X3phone are still circling the web. The quad-core Vivo X3 is expected to launch alongside the Vivo X1 and is likely to come equipped with 5 inch 1,920 × 1,080 screen, quad-core Qualcomm S4 CPU, 3000mAh battery and 13 mega-pixel rear camera!

The front camera is 2 or 3 MP?
Yes, it’s thinner, but its specs are not as good as the Oppo. The Oppo is a more established and reliable Chinese brand.
However, all these Chinese slim smartphones all have squarish/rectangular corners for their display, making them iPhone copies.
Mind you, all these slim phones (Oppo Finder, Vivo X1, etc.) are much better looking than most of the current branded ones in the market.
But, in my opinion, the HTC One X is still the best looking (designed) smartphone currently, even tho’ I dun own one.
If HTC can make another One X much slimmer and more powerful, they’ll have a winner.
