If you were to conduct a survey to ask why people choose a particular brand over another, regular updates and support will most likely be the response. Personally, it is a deal breaker for me when a device doesn’t get support anymore a few months after purchase just because there’s a newer phone available (manufacturers that release new phones every month should take note). So when I see a brand that takes updates very important, I tend to give them a little more respect.

The Vernee Thor has already received two updates since its release and the company is telling their fans to prepare for a third one next week. They’ve released a change log detailing what fixes will be coming to the phone below:

1. Fixed the problem of proximity sensor failing under direct sunlight.
2. Lowered standby power consumption when cellular data, WiFi  or Bluetooth is on.
3. Addressed potential security or storage leakage issue when WiFi or Bluetooth is on.
4. Enhanced 2G network access speed.
5. Fixed WiFi On but no internet connection when the device is far from AP.
6. Google Security Patch.

The Vernee Thor has a 5” HD screen, 3GB RAM, 16GB of ROM, dual SIM slots, 13MP/5MP cameras, a fingerprint scanner, runs android marshmallow, and sports a 2800mAh battery.

Vernee Thor has been up for sale for quite some time. This means that many of the pre-ordered units have already been shipped to its customers and there are many more shipments being delivered right now. Since users have started to get their hands on the first ever Vernee smartphone, the company wants to make sure that their experience is perfect. Now, Vernee has just released a new video via their official YouTube page showing users how to make the most out of the fingerprint sensor on the Vernee Thor smartphone.  You can check out the video from down below.

What the video tries to tell the viewers is that the fingerprint recognition works well when you move your fingers and adjust your grip so that edges of your finger are recognized by the sensor at the back. This technique should help users unlock the phone much faster than before. And of course, there is the new OTA update (the first official one from the company) coming soon to further boost the unlocking speeds.

To recap, the Vernee Thor comes with the octa-core MT6753 processor with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage further expandable via MicroSD. The phone features a 13MP rear sensor, 5-inch HD Arc screen and a 2800mAh battery on board.

The new Chinese smartphone company, Vernee has just informed us that they are planning to set up overseas after sale service centers for its smartphones. The company’s first smartphone, the Vernee Thor was successful during the pre-sale period and it will soon start shipping devices to the customers. Now that the phones will start shipping out, the next logical step is a strong after sales support, which is something that many Chinese smartphone makers lack. This is why Vernee is planning to build a network of centers in important markets for its customers.

So, for now, the company will have service centers in six major countries, Russia, Spain, German ,UK, France and USA. The company hasn’t revealed any plans for setting up centers in other countries yet. In these regions, Vernee will be providing two-year warranty for its smartphones. But there’s a catch. The company reveals that for the first year, you will get free maintenance. In the second year, the maintenance will be paid. Still better than many other local Chinese companies. What’s more, these centers will reportedly be launched in May itself, so around the time you get your pre-ordered units.

Now that the pre-sale period of the Vernee Thor is officially over, the company has released an official sales figure for the device and it’s impressive. The company managed to secure 21,796 pre-orders by the morning of April 25.

On a related note, Vernee is conducting a giveaway of its Vernee Thor smartphone on its forums. The company will be giving away the Thor to three lucky winners. The contest is currently going on and ends on April 30. So, if interested, check out the link and participate in the giveaway to try out your luck.

Although we know that benchmark tests only tell part of the story, we still rely on them for our initial impressions about the device. This is why manufacturers tend to make sure that their phones do well in such tests, to ensure that the phone meets a certain level of customer expectations. Recently, Vernee released a hands-on video of the Vernee Thor. The video also showed the phone’s first AnTuTu benchmark test and the scores are pretty good.

According to the video released, Vernee Thor scores a good 38,347 in the AnTuTu benchmark test, which is the highest we have seen among other MT6753 powered smartphones. Given that there are numerous phones in the market with this MTK chipset, it looks like Vernee has done a good job optimizing its performance. Of course, as compared to other phones, this isn’t much, 38K+ on a $100 device is definitely impressive.

The phone is already in the pre-sale stage and is currently available at $119.99. On some websites, the price is even lower, at $99.99 which is a steal for the specs you get. For example, you can get Vernee Thor on OPPOMART for $99.99, just use coupon: VENE20. The buy link is at the end of this article.

As for the specs, the Vernee Thor comes with a 5-inch on-cell 720p display with MT6753 octa-core processor and 3GB of LPDDR3 RAM.

Vernee is marketing its mid-range Thor smartphone pretty aggressively. The company will release the phone sometime in April, which is just a few weeks away. Today, it released a new video comparing the $129.99 Vernee Thor with the iPhone 6S, claiming that its phone delivers a stellar display performance.

In this regard, Vernee released an on-screen comparison of the devices, as well as an off-screen comparison to show the performance of its upcoming handset.

You can check out the video below for the on-screen comparison between the Thor and the iPhone 6S. In the video, the phone does pretty well, coming with higher color saturation and warmer tones. The video tests different colors, dark and light shades, viewing angles and a number of other parameters.

Coming to the off-screen test, Vernee Thor is pitted against the iPhone 6S and the Moto X flagships. The company seems to have performed a thorough off screen analysis of the three phones, showing that the Vernee Thor does a good job in the comparison.

Here’s the official comparison released by the company:

Off-screen Comparison:

Scenario 1:

Crosswise comparison in highlight environment:

With screen reflection totally avoided, we let the 3 devices display the unobservable off-screen integration.

We can see from the close shot that iPhone 6s has the best off-screen integration, Vernee Thor comes second, and the Moto X the last.

Scenario 2:

360°light environment, symmetrical contrast with equal light projecting on each device

From top to bottom: Moto X, Vernee Thor, iPhone 6S

In this scenario, Vernee Thor and iPhone 6s have almost the same off-screen integration, and Moto X lags much behind.

Scenario 3:

With light projection on the top of the three 2.5D screens, iPhone 6s and Vernee Thor both win also in terms of viewing effects.

From top to bottom: Vernee Thor, iPhone 6S, Moto X

Scenario 4:

Single-side highlights projecting equally on the three devices, and the result is obvious.
