Physical Overview
Vivo XPlay 6 is no doubt a very good looking device. The dual curved display, and the metallic uni-body design makes the device look very beautiful. The rear design looks a bit inspired by iPhone 7, specially the top and bottom part. From the front, it will remind you of Galaxy S7 Edge due to the curved display.
Above the display, you will find an 16 MP front camera, ambient light sensor and the earpiece.
Below the display, you will find the home button which also doubles up as a fingerprint sensor followed by back button and multitasking button on either sides. Both buttons are backlit.
On the right side, there’s volume up, volume down and power button. On the left, you will find the dual-SIM card slot.
Top part is absolutely clean with just a secondary mic.

Conclusion
No doubt that Vivo XPlay 6 packs a very solid hardware and features. The combination of Snapdragon 820, 6GB RAM, dual curved Quad-HD AMOLED display, dual camera setup, and the uni-body design makes it a very good smartphone to consider. However it would have been good to see the latest Snapdragon 821 chip-set on it and a bit cheaper price tag. Although we have to wait for the Indian launch as Vivo may price it competitively considering the competitors like OnePlus 3T.
