Vivo’s phone’s are generally more expensive than their counterparts, but there’s no denying that the company does take care of the quality on their phones.
While their recent Snapdragon 615 phones might not have been the most impressive devices around (read: the Vivo X5Pro review), it does look like the company has learnt its lesson and will be back on track soon.
The upcoming Vivo X6 has been confirmed to have 4GB of RAM. While that in itself might be music to Vivo enthusiasts’ ears, there’s something more interesting being said about the Vivo X6: that out of the 4GB RAM, 1GB will be dedicated for graphics.
Gizchina News of the week
If that does happen, it’ll make the Vivo X6 the world’s first Android phone to have dedicated video RAM. You’ve only seen that on desktops and laptops up until now. The teaser also confirms 4G LTE connectivity.
Vivo seem keen on giving their buyers complete multimedia entertainment, whether it be a high-end audio chip, good camera, or, as it turns out now, dedicated video memory. As for the chipset, word is that it could be a MediaTek MT6797 Helio X20 deca-core SoC, but there’s no confirmation yet. Here’s hoping Vivo don’t stop with the X6 teasing anytime soon!
Been watching this all week, 4mm thickness, 4000mah battery, 21mp IMX300 camera, 12mp front camera, hifi audio, 6″ 2k AMOLED display (all allegedly), what’s not to like apart from the vivo price, I really am looking forward to this and it makes you wonder what delights they have in store for their flagship xplay 5s!
Which is supposed to be more flagship this or the xplay 5s ?
The xplay is their flagship range, the 5s will almost certainly have an sd820, 4k screen and even better audio, since this is a high end phone (not flagship) then what do they have planned for that? Going to be even more exciting and expensive ?
excpect 7-800 dollar prices st resselers from china at first if we will be lucky 600
I’m trying not to think about the price, I’ve started a “Christmas phone fund” so hoping the season of good will is generous!
hope you dont end like this http://stayornay.com/thriftfails/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/shot-glass-fail-e1290902649419.jpg
I’ll be purchasing this Phone as long as it gives me atleast hspa+
even $100 phone will give you HSPA+…That’s 3.5G
Vivo doesn’t sell their phones for $100.
I know that, I just said that even $100 phone can provide HSPA+ connection.
Not every phone is equal to a Vivo phone
lol you’re a real fan of this oem dude. 🙂
Yeah I really am.
but vivo are CRIMINALLY expensive !
Yeah. I agree. Thankfully I have spending money always at aside for my gadgets.
Fingers crossed as that cup will need to be full to purchase this phone!
4k screen?! lol I would never understand the need of having more than 1080p on a 5-6″ screen… Not really practical, the only job it’s doing is to drain the battery. Oh I almost forgot – if you buy a 4k phone you now can never stop telling your friends how much better is your phone all day long 24/7/365
Well Sony have already done it on a 5.5″ screen, where it will be noticeable is with VR headsets.
i will be guessing this as hipe. as those spec´s won´t fit in that 4mm body they claim even less a 4000mah. anyways what ever battery it ends up with will be suffering from such a strech of spec´s. i do want to see something amasing from then but there is too much beeing offered at this point from them maybe they migth take their sweet time to deliver until technologie allow them to acheive it. 4mm ? thats really thigh.
Well if anyone can do it then it will be Vivo, they won’t release it till they’re happy as they have often delayed releases. I just wonder if some of these teasers are for the xplay 5s and they are actually teasing specs for both phones. After all if all this tech was packed into a single handset it would be insane!
Totally in agreement with you @Rob.
You have to admire vivo as unlike other manufacturers who make phones down to a price to compete, with specs that don’t always add up or areas that have seen obvious cost cutting, they make stunning phones with cutting edge tech and superb build quality. All this has seen them carve out a niche section of the market that works for them, like anything in life if you want the best..
in China Vivo does better than Samsung
…just sayin’
Exactly my point.
but still expensive 🙁
oh yeah.
i can barely afford one of their empty boxes.
AHAHA !
Totally, but I’m done with cheap phones that keep breaking. Will treat myself to a quality device as it’s cheaper than a new phone every 6 months and what a quality handset would cost here in the UK.
vivo price 🙁
I’ve been waiting for something to come up from Vivo. It seems really revolutionary, they sure know to surprise every time. Can’t wait..
But the article describes SHARED memory, not DEDICATED. Are there some proofs of this strange development?
Point of correction Yash, what you are talking about in the article is called SHARED MEMORY and not DEDICATED MEMORY. If its dedicated, then the 4GB RAM wil be intact plus an additional 1GB of VRAM for the graphics. The shared memory tech is infact what smartphones have been using since their advent.
So, this is not at all a spectacular news. If what you wrote really is the truth, then the OS and apps will only have access to 3GB of RAM which will make the phone to be as good as any other phone out there with 3GB of RAM (and not 4GB). Besides…
A SMARTPHONE DOES NOT HAVE ANY NEED FOR 1GB OF DEDICATED VRAM.
Even laptops and desktops with 256MB to 512MB of dedicated work pretty well unless when you play graphic demanding games (and we all know that PC games are MUCH MORE graphics demanding than their mobile counterparts). If at all, they should start with 128MB dedicated/shared memory.
To me, this is plain marketing hype and a bunch of gibberish.
Majority of the article writers on this blog are not even Chinese or even know anything about phones. All they do is google translate Chinese articles and rewrite them, and it becomes quite noticeable as you frequent this site on a daily basis.

I could swear the G2 had dedicated VRAM.
