Vivo has started sending out invites for the launch of its upcoming smartphone - V5 Plus - and its India launch date has been set for January 23. The Vivo V5 Plus was first unveiled at the launch of company's Vivo V5 smartphone and features a dual front camera setup. Even though the company didn't reveal the launch date of the smartphone at V5 launch, it has now announced that it will be fully unveiled later this month.

On the invite for the Vivo V5 Plus, interestingly, the company has mentioned that the smartphone will usher in the 'biggest selfie camera revolution', and shows two shutters. At present, it is unclear if the company is talking just about the dual front camera setup or something more in terms of technology behind the camera. We will have to wait till the official announcement to see if the company has anything extra in store for the V5 Plus smartphone in terms of cameras.

Vivo seems to be currently working on improving the front cameras on its phone as the company's V5 smartphone featured a 20-megapixel selfie camera, tagged along with a front facing 'Moonlight Glow' front camera light to improve low-light photography.
