Last week, the company posted images of words like ‘Horizon’, ‘Breeze’, and ‘Puzzle’, etc. with the letter ‘z’ missing.
Vivo is soon launching a new smartphone series in India. The company may soon launch its first Z-series smartphone in India, preferably the Z5x, which was recently launched in China.
The highlight of this device apart from the triple camera setup and a massive battery is that it is the first Vivo smartphone to sport a punch-hole display.

Under the hood, it gets a Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC paired with 4GB/ 6GB/ 8GB RAM. In terms of storage, it gets two storage options of 64GB and 128GB, which can be further expanded to 256GB via microSD. For power users, the Z5x comes with a massive 5,000 mAh battery, ensuring long hours of usage.
For optics, it gets triple cameras at the back which houses a 16MP f/1.78 primary sensor, an 8MP f/2.2 ultra-wide sensor and a 2MP f/2.4 depth sensor. For selfies, there is a 16MP F/2.0 sensor inside the punch-hole.
Connectivity options include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack, etc. There is also a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner for biometrics. The phone is available in three colour options — Aurora, Extreme Night Black, and Phantom Black.
