Selfie is one of the most talked words today. Although the first reference to Selfie dates back to 2005, it was in 2012 that it gained popularity. By the end of 2012, Time magazine mentioned selfie one of the “top 10 buzzwords” of that year; although selfies existed even before. It was in 2012 that the term was started gaining tremendous popularity. By 2013, the word “selfie” was announced as being the “word of the year” by the Oxford English Dictionary.4
Today, Selfies are one of the most important aspects of social sites, as most of the photos shared on social sites like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are selfies. Once this trend came in, smartphones have been looking to improve the front camera of the smartphone to make the selfie experience better. Last year Vivo announced the Vivo V5, which is the first smartphone to sport a 20MP front camera which was an instant hit. And now the company has announced the next selfie focused smartphone, the Vivo V5 Plus with dual front cameras.

Vivo V5 Plus comes with the dual front camera (20MP + 8MP) along with moonlight selfie flash. The 20MP front camera is co-engineered with Sony and features an IMX376 sensor along with 1/2.78” sensor size, f/2.0 aperture, and 5P lens. This ensures stunning clarity, while a secondary 8MP front camera captures depth-of-field information. The 20MP and 8MP front cameras combined produces the bokeh effect for selfies.
Vivo’s advanced software processing also provides you with the option to change focus, even after the photo has been taken. Shoot first, then you can go back at any time and select your desired focus area, adding bokeh effects wherever you like.
The camera features don’t end here, there are a plethora of options to choose in the camera interface. You can enable filters and take a panorama with the front camera. You can also get the HDR option in front camera and also the regular beauty mode. The front camera is also capable of recording videos in 1080p (full HD) resolution.
The bokeh mode is a special feature of the front camera and you can change the aperture from f/0.95 to f/16 and get the desired bokeh effect. Another useful feature is that you can change the aperture even after you capture the photo and this helps in getting the right bokeh effects for your selfies. The moonlight selfie flash which debuted in Vivo V5 also features in V5 Plus and provides adequate lighting for taking selfies in low light. The selfie flash does not over expose the selfies thereby creating the best experience even in low light conditions.
