BLU announces its VIVO 8

BLU has announced its latest flagship smartphone, the VIVO 8, powered by the MediaTek Helio P10.

Color matched curved glass covers the beautiful 5.5-inch full-HD device. A unibody design with an 87% 'metal-to-body' ratio it imbues both quality and strength. On its front a fingerprint sensor doubles as the home button, and a front flash pairs with the impressive 16MP, wide-angle front-facing camera to ensure users get the best selfies, even in lower light conditions. Additional software enhancements include beautification, panoramic and group modes. At the back the VIVO 8 features a 13-megapixel camera with LED flash, laser focus, phase detection autofocus, and video recording at up to 1080p30.

Inside there's a huge 4,010mAh battery that'll get you through the day and then some! The VIVO 8 also supports Ultra-Fast Charging via its 18W power adapter. It can recharge 0-100 percent in less than an hour and a half.

In addition to the P10 at its heart, the VIVO 8 has 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage and MicroSD slot expansion as well. Connectivity includes dual SIM support with fast 4G LTE Cat-6 (300Mbit/s) performance, and unlocked dual SIM support for global GSM cellular networks. See the VIVO 8 product page for 3G/4G frequency support.

Out the box the VIVO 8 runs the latest Android 7.0 Nougat, which means improved features such as doze mode and support for multi-window.
