VIVO Xplay 5S(Xplay5 Ultimate) $769 OUCH

that sure seems a lot to pay for a phone with no support, no matter the specs. When did chinese manufactures start selling products this expensive? It looks just like a S7 edge

Yes, it's very expensive, but felling is better than Galaxy S7/IPhone 6S. Not only felling, everything is better + awesome audio quality. Like I say before, I have a lot's of flagships (last one is LG V10) and now Vivo Xplay 5S is the best smartphone ever made!

Does xplay 5 has same sound as xplay 5 elite?

 

[Slaviola]

Nope, the normal version (Xplay 5A) have not te same dac & amp like the Ultimate version (Xplay 5S). Anyway, the Ultimate have two dac's, i say the Vivo Xplay 5S is the best audio centric phone ever made, i just listening end listening... i don't wan't to stop it .

Can you compare this to any DAP?

 

[Slaviola]

Yeap.
I already do it.
My friend have DX90 and the Vivo i think is little better, but have little less power than Ibasso.
I have Fiio X3 - nit comporable, the Vivo is better. Than i compare to X7 - not the same style like in Vivo, but i think comforable. I think that the DX90-X7-Vivo are very close. But now, when i have Xplay 5S, i don't need DAP - only smatrphone, it's good enough to be my only Player .

X3 1st gen or 2nd gen?And how is the soundstage of vivo?

So I finally have the Vivo XPlay 5 on loan.  I will try and post a proper review this weekend, but I compared it to the HTC 10 last night.  I’m really impressed with the sound of the XPlay 5.  You really notice that the soundstage is bigger when listening to the same song on both phones.  I also really like the way vocals sound on the XPlay 5, very natural.
 
*EDIT* I've posted my review with a comparison to the HTC 10 and LG V10:
