Vivo NEX 5 has been appearing in the rumors way often these days. Earlier, the phone’s renders were emerged showcasing the design. Now, a new leak confirms the phone’s launch date and also gives us a closer look at the handset.

A Twitter leakster has shared the first look of the smartphone. Although the picture has been leaked, seemingly it looks like an official poster image. It reveals that the NEX 5 will debut in February 2022.

Furthermore, it shows off the White color variant of the smartphone. The device has a punch-hole display with only curved sides. This is contrary to the previous rumors that revealed a quad-curved screen. Nevertheless, it still looks impressive considering that it will actually be a big panel.

Moving to the back, the smartphone has the Zeiss optics, one of its highlights. The device has a quad-camera system with the fourth lens, what appears to be a periscope lens. Here, the primary lens is a 50MP Samsung GN1 sensor.

Other than this, the Vivo NEX 5 is rumored to come with a 7-inch or a 6.78-inch E5 AMOLED panel with QHD resolution. It will support a high refresh rate. It is expected to come powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC and pack a 5,000mAh battery. It will have an 80W fast charging support and a 40W or 50W wireless charging technology.

The Vivo NEX 5’s configurations and variants were also tipped. The device will launch in three configurations – 8GB + 256GB, 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB. It is expected to arrive in Earth Gray, Night Black, Blue shade, and White color.

Back in July 2021, a rumor revealed that Vivo may launch the Vivo NEX 5 in 2022. Well, we’re in 2022, and the tipster DigitalChatStation has already revealed the phone’s key highlights. The tipster sheds light on its cameras while pointing at its internal hardware.

The tipster reveals that the recently launched Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 powered phones have a lower zooming range in their telephoto lenses. The optical zooming capability of these lenses doesn’t go too far. However, with the upcoming Vivo NEX 5, things may change. The smartphone may have a 5x periscope lens, as per the tipster.

Having said that, the phone will indeed come powered by the latest 4nm Snapdragon 8 Gen chipset. The other hardware details are unknown at the moment. But coming back to cameras, previously, ZEISS was touted to be in partnership with Vivo for its upcoming phone cameras. Vivo’s NEX 5 could be the device where we may see the ZEISS branded lenses.

Moreover, reports suggest that the NEX 5 may come with a mammoth 7-inch display. It could be a curved panel with an under-display camera. It is worth noting that some of the past rumors claimed a 6.78-inch screen. Hence, we cannot conclude anything as of now.

In terms of other features, the smartphone may come with a 50W wireless fast charging support. But again, these specs aren’t confirmed, and we recommend our readers to take it with pinch of salt.
