Last year, Vivo unveiled the Vivo X5 Max which became the thinnest smartphone in the world measuring just 4.75mm for a while. Now, this Chinese manufacturer is all set to announce a mid-range smartphone in the market, at least according to the recent entry on China's TENAA. The new phone will be called the Vivo Y929 and has passed TENAA revealing a couple of images as well as tech specs of the upcoming device. Design wise, the Y929 features a similar look as the recent releases from the company. Coming to the tech specs, the phone sports an undisclosed Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, which could probably be the Snapdragon 410 SoC.  There will be 1GB of RAM onboard along with 16GB of storage which will most likely be expandable. At the front, there is a 5-inch 720p display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Even the back will be protected by the same glass. There will be a 13MP rear camera with LED flash and a 5MP front shooter. The measurements of the device will be 143.6 x 71.1 x 6.67 mm. The Vivo Y929 will support dual-SIM dual standby along with 4G LTE connectivity. It will also have a 2000 mAh battery on board and will run on Android 4.4 KitKat OS with the company's FunTouch UI on top. No Malaysia pricing details or release dates yet but the phone will be priced at $351 (RM1264) in China. An international release is not expected soon though and even if it does come to Malaysia, we expect it to be under a different name.
