Fastest-growing smartphone brand boasts Perfect Selfie front camera, Steph Curry endorsement<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

In less than two years, Vivo has established its place in the highly competitive mobile phone scene, both in the Philippines and abroad.<\/p>\n

According to International Data Corporation\u2019s (IDC) Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker, Vivo is the fastest-growing smartphone brand worldwide, securing a spot among the top 5 premium global brands in the second quarter of 2017, and posting a quarter-to-quarter growth of 66 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cVivo disrupted the smartphone retail space through cash-rich marketing, aggressive sales promoter incentives and previously unseen levels of retailer support,\u201d says Jerome Dominguez, market analyst for client devices, IDC Asia\/Pacific. \u201cThis challenged the traditional vendor-dealer relationship smartphone vendors have been accustomed to, and while leading vendors have been able to adapt, smaller players with less marketing and merchandising budget at their disposal were unable to do so, thus suffering drops in market shares.\u201d<\/p>\n

Top of mind brand<\/strong><\/p>\n

High-visibility TV, print and billboard endorsements of Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry quickly made Vivo a top of mind brand among Filipinos. Meanwhile, weekly mall tours in and out of Metro Manila that included performances from celebrities Tony Labrusca, McCoy de Leon, Sue Ramirez and Andrea Brillantes allowed discerning shoppers to discover the brand\u2019s innovative products and their unique features up close.<\/p>\n

Vivo\u2019s flagship product is its V5s, an Android 6.0 mobile phone with 4gb of RAM and a 3000mAh non-removable battery. Available in crown gold, rose gold and matte black, the Vivo V5s boasts the world\u2019s first 20-megapixel front camera with bokeh effect, giving your super-sharp selfies a much-desired artistic, defocused background. The powerful front camera is also capable of shooting the Perfect Selfie, Group Selfie (fitting all family members and friends into a single frame) and Softlight Glow Selfie (snap a clear portrait no matter what time of the day). A13-megapixel rear camera captures precious moments with equal crispness and vivid color.<\/p>\n

IDC expects smartphone sales to increase in the last quarter of the year when the forthcoming Christmas holidays signal a spike in the demand for quality mobile phones.<\/p>\n
