If rumours and leaks of the Vivo X5playS had managed to wet your appetite last week then details of the release date are going go have you salivating.
Vivo’s flagship phone range is long over due a refresh, with the current Xplay3S having been on the market for well over a year already. The next generation Vivo Xplay5S is what we expect to launch early this month at a launch conference confirmed by Vivo today.
The Vivo launch event simply mentions something ‘fast’ will launch and sources say the launch may come as early as the 4th November.
Leaks last week showed us a metal bodied phone with slim side profile, and fingerprint scanner on the rear. As Vivo are usually one of the first companies to use the latest hardware the Xplay5S could show up with a Snapdragon 820 chipset and up to 4GB RAM (this certainly sounds fast to us).

Other rumours state the Vivo flagship will have a 6-inch 4K display, 12 mega-pixel front facing camera, 21 mega-pixel main camera, at least 64GB internal memory, Hifi Audio and 4000mAh+ battery.
This is definitely a launch I am patiently waiting to see, what about you?
Unbelievable 20 months later and they’re still selling the 3S (and equally unbelievable in that 20 months the price has only dropped 30%).
That’s actually really weird. I was looking for decent Chinese phones launched a year ago, hoping for a better price, but it’s incredible how little the prices change on older Chinese products.
Agreed, however 20 months later and the specs are still respectable. If I had the xplay 3s I would be happy that it hasn’t been replaced 20 times already (yes I’m talking about you Elephone)! Either way even if it is announced on the 4th, it probably won’t be released till the new year, I just hope I’m wrong ?
