Vivo is known for its innovation on smartphones, releasing new products that have impressive features and outstanding camera picture quality that offer the most value for money. The smartphone brand has become a popular choice for many consumers, especially for those people who are on a tight budget. The Chinese firm is continuing that trend with the recent release of its upper mid-range smartphone, the Vivo Z5.

When the Chinese firm first introduced the Vivo Z5 in a recent August press event in China, it initially came only in three colors: the Aurora Illusion, Bamboo Forest Night and Holographic Illusion. Recently, Vivo is adding a new color to the mix: the Phantom Blue variant.

Gizmo China reported the fourth color variant is now available in three configurations, the 6+64GB, the 6+128GB, and the 6+256GB versions. There’s also a fourth version that comes with 8GB of RAM and 128 of internal storage. Prices for this device start at $227 (¥1598) and goes up to $270 ( ¥1898). The new Vivo Z5 Phantom Blue variant is now available for purchase at Tmall.
