being a successor of earlier set vivo xplay, this is the most awaited smartphone fro the year. the new vivo xplay s3 is a pack a 2K (2,560 x 1,440) display, which works out to be a ridiculously high 490ppi density on the 6-inch panel.

Like other vivo smartphones, you'll find a pair of dedicated audio chips. Here you have ESS Technology's ES9018 DAC and Texas Instruments' OPA2604 amplifier. This should go nicely with the built-in DTS Headphone:X feature that brings 7.1 or even 11.1 having a boom sound effect headphones, capable movies (along with over 400 movies in 1080p and over 1,000 movies in 720p).

 This is all inside a 172g body with a 4.5mm-thick metallic bezel.

There are some nice goodies in the latest version of Vivo's Android ROM, which is now awkwardly dubbed Funtouch OS. The most adroable is to+, a video sharing app that takes advantage of augmented reality . Once your video is uploaded to the cloud, you can pick a video frame for printing or sharing digitally; and then using the same app, point the camera at the still to "animate" it with its assigned video clip.

one problem is there the camera is placed very near to the finger print scanner giving scratches and smudge up on the camera screen!!

In addition to the OS' gentle facelift, other cool new features include gesture assignment for contacts, mood-based music playlist, "air wake" gesture input to toggle apps, location-based reminders, City Show AR app (like Layar) to browse nearby offers, and a "timeline desktop" app that lists your photos and interaction with friends chronologically.
