The Vivo Xshot features extreme Hi-Fi and video capture but Vivo may already be working on a new model with upgraded camera features, including an improved autofocus function to enhance user’s photo capturing experience. This upgrade may also introduce a new phase detection system. Phase detection is primarily used in DSLR cameras and is presently in the Apple iPhone 6, iPhone 6 Plus, LG G3 and Samsung Galaxy S5. Quick autofocus ability gives the phone an edge over other models, especially where capture speed is priority. Initial testing shows that the phone may be 0.09 seconds or 30% faster than the iPhone 6. The existing Xshot features a 13MP camera and the successor phone may even employ an upgraded 20MP camera. Rumour has it that Vivo may roll out its next model as early as May 2015. It remains to be seen if the new phone features the above upgrades, but if it does, it is welcome news. There is no news on Malaysia release dates and Malaysia pricing for the new model yet.
