It comes with special cricket based themes and icones and it still comes with a 20 MP Dual Front Camera for bokeh effect. It features a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with Full HD (1920×1080) resolution protected with Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

The highlight of V5 Plus Limited Edition is on the front camera like Vivo V5 (Review). It comes with a 16MP primary camera with f/2.0 aperture, phase detection auto-focus and LED flash. The selfie camera on Vivo V5 Plus includes a 20MP lens coupled with an 8MP lens and the aperture is f/2.0 aperture. The selfie cameras create a bokeh style effect which creates low depth of field effect for clicking portraits.
V5 Plus Limited Edition runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow with Funtouch OS 3.0 out of the box. Other features include a fingerprint scanner, dual SIM support, 4G LTE support, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and a 3,160 mAh battery.
