Both phones operate on a MediaTek MT6753 64-bit eight-core engine running at 1.3GHz. Both also feature a Mali-T720 graphics processor, which we often stumble upon when strolling around the mid-and high-end smartphone classes. However, the Vivo 5 ends up closer to some of the fastest Android phones as of 2016, lugging 3GB's worth of RAM. In comparison, the Vivo XL only has 2GB of RAM to work with, which not only makes its overall performance potential less-appealing, it also makes the Vivo XL likely less-effective in handling heavy multitasking compared to its 3GB-RAM sibling. All that said, both these 5.5-inchers are powered by 3150mAh battery, so it looks like this one's only a minor loss for the Vivo XL. Here are more comparison points: | |||||||||||||||||||
