As per numerous reports, V5 Plus is most likely to house pretty much same as the generic V5 model, but differ in one key aspect- camera. It is believed that the V5 Plus will house two cameras on the front—one, a 20MP primary shooter, while second snapper (MP count yet to be ascertained) will analyze the depth of field. It is said to provide detailed information of a scene so users can re-focus objects on the photos using editing tools. It is also said to boast 'Moonlight Glow' flash feature to enable the phone to take good quality selfies under low light condition.

Rest of the features of Vivo V5 Plus such as screen-size, OS, RAM, storage and the battery are said to be same as the generic V5 series model.

For those unaware, the Vivo V5 sports a 5.5-inch HD screen and comes with Android Marshmallow OS, 64-bit octa-core processor, 4GB RAM, 32GB inbuilt storage, 13MP primary camera on the back and a 3,000mAh battery.
