In fact, Vivo, one of the top five premium global brands according to data from the International Data Corporation¹ is set to launch a smartphone equipped with the most advanced selfie technology to date: the Vivo V5 Plus, to be officially unveiled in a consumer and media launch on January 21, Saturday at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium.
