At the end of the of year 2018, Vivo had launched the Vivo NEX Dual Display smartphone with flagship specs. As the name suggests, it came with an additional display on its rear. LetsGoDigital has come across a patent filing from September 2018 for two dual display smartphones. The patent that was filed with World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO) has been approved now.

As it can be seen in the below images, the model A and B are two different designs for Vivo phones with dual displays. Like the Vivo NEX Dual Display smartphone, the model A and B are both equipped with full-screen display on the front. However, they are equipped with different rear designs.

The model A features an RGB-lit O-ring LED like the Lunar Ring selfie softlight LED found on the NEX Dual Display phone. The Lunar Ring is placed towards the upper-left of the second screen. Its half portion is embedded in the display.  The NEX Dual Display has the Lunar Ring at the center position.

The model B has a smaller oval shaped LED ring that is placed towards the top-right of the second display. The camera sensors appear to be placed inside the ring.

Editor’s Pick: iQOO Pro 5G to launch in August

Like the NEX Dual Display phone, the model A and B dual display phone designs do not feature front-facing cameras. The notch-less design on the front will allow both phones to offer an extremely high screen-to-body ratio. The front display on both models could be equipped with an in-screen fingerprint reader.

The slim-sized top bezel of the phone features an earpiece. A power button and a volume rocker are available on the left spine of these devices. There seems to be another volume rocker on the right edge of these devices.

Probably, the successor of the Vivo NEX Dual Display could be sporting any of the above shown design. Recently, Vivo had trademarked VivoX moniker with European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). Probably, the next dual display phone from Vivo could be made available in the market as a VivoX phone.

The post Vivo patents two new designs for dual display phones appeared first on Gizmochina.

After the Nubia X, the new Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is the second smartphone to come with two screens, one on the front and one of the back, in order to minimize the bezels without the need of a notch. The display usually represents the hardest component to remove when it comes to disassembling a smartphone. Indeed, according to the first teardown of the first flagship made in China, the phone is hard to disassemble and repair. The disassembly process is hard especially because you need to remove two displays, but not only for that.

The photos published show that Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition has a very busy motherboard with several components directly attached to it. We are talking about both the displays, the triple camera module found on the back and attached to the motherboard separately, antennas and more. So, people who want to disassemble the phone will have to remove two glued displays as well as all those connectors. In order to remove the displays, a heat gun is required. The teardown highlighted the motherboard as well as all the sensors of the rear triple camera.

Vivo NEX Dual Display is equipped with a 12 MP primary sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and OIS, a secondary 2 MP depth sensor with an f/1.8 aperture and a 3D TOF Camera with an f/1.3 aperture. It has no front cameras because the secondary display allows using the rear cameras as selfie cameras as well. According to the experts who made the teardown, Vivo NEX Dual Display is not easy to disassemble and repair, so you should be careful not to break it and it is recommended not to proceed any disassembly on your own unless you are an expert technician.

Pop-up cameras, slider designs, artificial intelligence… 2018 was the year of innovation and 2019 is going to be the year in which this innovation will become mainstream. The latest aesthetic innovation has been brought by Huawei Nova 4, Samsung Galaxy A8s and Honor V20, the first smartphones with an in-display hole for the front camera. After comparing the first two ones, here we are comparing the Honor V20 with two other important flagships released recently: OnePlus 6T which is one of the actual best-sellers and the even-more-innovative Vivo NEX Dual Display.

Huawei Honor V20 vs OnePlus 6T vs Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition

Design

Most of the recent smartphones have a design similar to OnePlus 6T, so it offers nothing special or innovative to the market. Honor V20 is definitely better with its punch hole display: it has an in-display hole to maximize the screen-to-body ratio and it even has a stunning back with unique light effects. But in my opinion, the most incredible is the Vivo NEX Dual Display as it features two displays: one of the front side with a screen-to-body ratio close to 100 percent and one on the back allowing to use the rear camera setup as front cameras.

Display

As it features two wonderful AMOLED displays, Vivo NEX Dual Display wins the display comparison. Thanks to the secondary display, you can save energy and use the main cameras as selfie cameras, besides opting for a more comfortable one-handed use. OnePlus 6T has its advantages as well, with its AMOLED panel featuring the strong Gorilla Glass 6 protection and DCI-P3 coverage for accurate color reproduction. Honor V20 has a standard IPS LCD display which represents its weakest point, but it is still a sufficient panel.

Hardware/Software

The most advanced hardware side belongs to the Honor V20, with the new Kirin 980 chipset by Huawei providing faster performances and way higher benchmark scores. But OnePlus 6T and Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition are still among the best smartphones for speed and multi-tasking. A big disadvantage of the OnePlus 6T and Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is the absence of a micro SD slot, while Huawei Honor V20 has a dedicated micro SD slot allowing to use the dual SIM slot even when the user inserts an external card slot inside it.

Camera

On the paper, the new Huawei Honor V20 has the most amazing camera. It comes with a dual camera setup that includes the new 48 MP sensor by Sony. It captures a huge detail and delivers a great lossless zoom. After Honor V20, the best camera phone of the trio is the OnePlus 6T with a bright f/1.7 aperture and good performance in every light condition. Vivo NEX Dual Display is an excellent camera phone too, but it lacks a front camera.

Battery

Huawei Honor V20 has the biggest battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh and it should be able to last more than all of its opponents. But note that you can get a lot more battery life by using the secondary display on the Vivo NEX Dual Display. Further, OnePlus 6T provides a full day battery life too, so no one of these devices is disappointing when it comes to battery life. OnePlus 6T has the fastest charging technology: Dash Charge. And this phone is also available in a special McLaren Edition with an even faster charging technology: the new Warp Charge which brings it to 50 percent in just 20 minutes (it reaches 30W).

Price

Huawei Honor V20 recently debuted in the Chinese market with a price tag of about €460 and it is the most affordable device of the trio. OnePlus 6T starts from €569/$569 in its base variant which comes with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage (not expandable), while Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is available in China at about €700. Given the price, I would definitely choose Huawei Honor V20 because of its higher value for money. For just €460, you get a better camera department, potentially better performances, and even bigger battery life. Further, it is the only which sports a micro SD slot (that is also a dedicated one) to expand the internal storage. The only component which disappoints is the display, which can be considered a midrange-class panel. I would not choose the OnePlus 6T because it lacks the notification LED. Regarding Vivo NEX Dual Display, you mostly pay for the innovation. Which one would you pick? Would you award Vivo’s innovation with its dual display or opt for money saving by choosing Honor V20 or OnePlus 6T?

The post Honor V20 vs OnePlus 6T vs Vivo NEX Dual Display: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Vivo NEX Dual Display launched this month as Vivo‘s first dual-display device and also its first 10GB RAM device. It appears the flagship will also have a less powerful variant based on two new TENAA listings.

The Vivo V1820A and Vivo V1820T appeared on TENAA’s database a few days ago. Their model numbers are different from that of the Vivo NEX Dual Display (V1821A and V1821T) but that isn’t the only difference. Apparently, they are models of a less powerful variant of the Vivo NEX Dual Display. The specs are the same for V1820A and Vivo V1820T, so we will list them as one device.

The new variant has two displays too – a 5.49-inch OLED screen with a 1080 x 1920 resolution and a 6.39 AMOLED screen with a 1080 x 2340 resolution. Instead of the Snapdragon 845 processor, there is a 2.2GHz octa-core chipset we believe is the Snapdragon 710 Mobile Platform and it is paired with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of non-expandable storage.

Unlike the Vivo NEX Dual Display which has a 12MP + 2MP + TOF triple camera setup, this variant has a 12MP + 13MP + 2MP triple camera setup. It also has an in-display fingerprint scanner, runs Android 9 Pie and packs a 3425mAh battery.

The Vivo V1820 weighs 200.19 grams and measures 157.19 x 75.3 x 8.09 millimeters. When it launches, it will be available in only gold. Unfortunately, TENAA didn’t provide images along with the listings.

We have no idea when this variant will launch or what Vivo will call it but it is clear that Vivo is repeating the same thing it did with the Vivo NEX A (Snapdragon 710 variant) and Vivo NEX S (Snapdragon 845 variant).

In a smartphone market in which even midrange phones can provide excellent performance, people are often looking for innovation and exclusive features when it comes to flagships. Today we are comparing three unique phones: the special edition of the OnePlus 6T dedicated to McLaren, the Dual Display Edition of the full borderless phone Vivo NEX and the HTC Exodus 1, a phone based on the blockchain which can be used as a crypto wallet thanks to its hardware-backed security. Do these devices surprise you enough? If so, let’s go ahead with a specs comparison.

OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition vs Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition vs HTC Exodus 1

Design

If I had to choose by basing on the look, I would definitely pick Vivo NEX Dual Display because of its innovative aesthetics. It comes with the highest screen-to-body ratio without even needing a notch, and most of its surface is occupied by displays. On the other hand, HTC Exodus 1 is a unique phone as well because it has a transparent back which makes you see the internal components. Further, it is waterproof with the IP68 certification. OnePlus 6T is the best one for McLaren fans for obvious reasons, and it is the only to feature the strong Gorilla Glass 6 protection.

Display

If you want the highest definition, HTC Exodus 1 has the display for your needs thanks to its Quad HD+ resolution. OnePlus 6T has a more stunning color reproduction thanks to the AMOLED technology and its DCI-P3 coverage. But Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition has two displays, one on the front and one on the back which is more suitable for one-handed use and to save battery. Further, it does not include any notch, neither thick bezels on the front side.

Hardware/Software

Speed and performance are the real strong point of all these handsets since they are equipped with flagship-class hardware. Their SoC is the most powerful you can expect on a non-Huawei phone with Android in 2018. OnePlus 6T McLaren is the one with the most incredible performance and with the biggest internal storage. It comes with whopping 10 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. Further, it has Android Pie out of the box, just like Vivo NEX Dual Display. HTC Exodus 1 comes with just 6 GB of RAM and Android 8.1 Oreo, so it is less impressive, but it is based on the blockchain and it can be used as a crypto wallet. Indeed, it features an advanced hardware-based security system and it is one of the safest Android phones out there.

Camera

With the same camera department as the HTC U12 Plus, the HTC Exodus 1 is the phone which can deliver the most impressive photo and video quality. It is the only which sports OIS, laser autofocus and 2x optical zoom in the same dual camera setup, and it is able to record 4K videos at 60 fps with stereo sound. It even has a dual front camera with impressive performances which captures depth info in a very advanced and accurate way. Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition lacks a front camera, but it has an outstanding triple camera on the rear side which can be used as a selfie camera thanks to the secondary display on the back. At last OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition is an awesome camera phone as well, so even if it is not the best, there is not an abyssal difference in photo quality.

Battery

With a capacity of 3700 mAh, OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition has the biggest battery and it should be able to last a bit more than its opponents on a single charge. However, we can not confirm it until we test the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition. Also note that using the second display on the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition allows saving a lot of energy thanks to its smaller size; so, thanks to the second display, Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition could be able to last more even with a smaller 3500 mAh unit. OnePlus 6T McLaren Edition has the fastest charging technology: the new Warp Charge 30 which is also able to minimize heating while the phone is charging.

Price

OnePlus 6T McLaren debuted globally with a price tag of €700/$700, Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is actually available only in China with a price of about $729/€645, while HTC Exodus 1 can only be purchased (globally) with cryptocurrencies and it actually ranges from $450/€400 to $565/€500. Personally, I would award Vivo NEX Dual Display’s innovation and choose it because of its dual-display and a screen-to-body ratio close to 100%. But HTC Exodus 1 has a definitely higher value for money.

We are doing a lot of comparisons between innovative smartphones in the last period because smartphones manufacturers, after a long period of stagnation, started to make devices with impressive new features and technological breakthroughs. Vivo NEX Dual Display, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 and Samsung Galaxy A8s are perfect examples of this kind of device and this is a specs comparison which will let you find out which is the best.

Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition vs Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 vs Samsung Galaxy A8s

Design

With these devices, Vivo, Xiaomi and Samsung adopted three different solutions to get rid of the notch and thick bezels. Vivo NEX Dual Display opts for a dual display which makes people use the rear camera setup as a camera for selfies too, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 has a slider design with cameras and sensors all included in a pop-up slider, and Samsung Galaxy A8s features a hole in the display for the front camera. There is not a solution which can be defined better than each other, but I would personally go for the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 because of its better materials: 7000 series aluminum for the frame and ceramic for the back.

Display

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 has probably the best display when it comes to viewing quality, but Vivo NEX Dual Display has two displays and that is why I would choose it. The secondary display allows for a better power saving as well as a more comfortable one-handed use. Samsung Galaxy A8s has the most disappointing display, it is the only last-gen smartphone from the Galaxy A series to sport a classic IPS panel instead of a Super AMOLED one.

Hardware/Software

Under the hood, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is a true flagship with the most powerful components, at least in its most expensive version. It comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 845, up to 10 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Vivo NEX Dual Display has exactly the same hardware except for the internal storage which is 128 GB, while Samsung Galaxy A8s is just an upper-midrange device with its Snapdragon 710, but it is the only one to sport a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage. All these devices come with custom user interfaces based on Android Pie out of the box.

Camera

Unfortunately, we still had no chance to test the cameras of Samsung Galaxy A8s and Vivo NEX Dual Display, so we can not give any verdict about their camera department. But we know that Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is among the best camera phones out there even though it does not have a triple camera like its opponents. So it will be very hard to beat. Further, it has an impressive dual camera for selfies.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 has a too small battery which disappointed us in some scenarios. 3200 mAh is not enough for a flagship released in the second half of 2018 (unless it comes from Sony). Vivo NEX Dual Display has 3500 mAh and on the paper, it should provide the longest battery life thanks to its smaller secondary display with a low energy consumption. But Samsung Galaxy A8s always optimizes its midranges’ batteries very well, so it may even be that it will last more than its rival from Vivo if the company did a particularly good job.

Price

You can get a unit of Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 globally for just €560, Vivo NEX Dual Display costs $720 in China, while we still do not know the price tag of Samsung Galaxy A8s. With the actual information, Vivo NEX Dual Display is the most convincing handset, but we still have to test it and evaluate Galaxy A8s’ value for money to give a final judgment. Which one would you pick basing on the specs on the paper?

A dual-display smartphone, the most powerful and expensive Chinese smartphone out there and the first phone with a non-motorized slider design. These are the briefest and most effective descriptions of Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition, Huawei Mate 20 Pro and Honor Magic 2, three unique handsets which reach the excellence in terms of innovation and performance. Here is an in-depth comparison between their specifications.

Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition vs Huawei Mate 20 Pro vs Honor Magic 2

Design

Vivo NEX Dual Display and Honor Magic 2 are something incredible if we talk about their aesthetics. The first is the world’s second smartphone to feature two displays (one on the front and one on the back) which allow a screen-to-body ratio close to 100 percent and the use of the rear camera setup as a selfie camera as well. Honor Magic 2 is a phone which minimizes the bezels thanks to a slider containing front cameras and sensors which the user can manually open when needed. Huawei Mate 20 Pro is nothing very special in terms of design, but it has a better build quality: it has glasses protected by Gorilla Glass and it is waterproof and dustproof thanks to the IP68 certification.

Display

The device which delivers the best display quality is undoubtedly the Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Indeed, it comes with a higher resolution (Quad HD+ with 3120 x 1440 pixels), it is HDR10-compliant and it supports DCI-P3 coverage, so it has a definitely better color reproduction. It even comes with loud stereo speakers, so it provides a perfect multimedia experience. On the other hand, Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is equipped with two displays and it may result more comfortable. Besides the main AMOLED screen, it has a second smaller display on the back.

Hardware/Software

Thanks to the new Kirin 980 SoC realized with a 7 nm production process, as well as an excellent software optimization, Huawei Mate 20 Pro has definitely better performances than its opponents and almost every Android device actually in the market. And it also supports expandable storage unlike the other two devices. But note that Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is the only one to boast 10 GB of RAM, so it can provide a better multi-tasking experience.

Camera

Huawei Mate 20 Pro is a clear winner even on the camera side. It has the world’s best triple camera setup composed of an impressive 40 MP main sensor and two additional sensors with ultrawide and telephoto lens. It has both laser autofocus and optical zoom which goes up to 5x, and it is equipped with an optical stabilization system. Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition and Honor Magic 2 are impressive camera phones as well, but they can not compete with Huawei Mate 20 Pro in any scenario.

Battery

Huawei Mate 20 Pro has the biggest battery ever mounted on a last-gen flagship smartphone. It comes with a capacity of 4200 mAh and, even though its consumptions are not low due to the QHD+ display and other components, it lasts very long. It can easily reach one day on a single charge even when stressed. Honor Magic 2 will probably provide a similar battery life to Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition, but it is the world’s second last-gen phone when it comes to charging times as it can reach 70 percent in just 30 minutes thanks to the Magic Charge technology.

Price

Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the best and even the most expensive device of the trio, it was launched with a price tag of €1099/$1250 globally but it has been on the market for a while and now you can get it for about €850/$965 thanks to online street prices, which is the same price for which you will be able to get Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition in Europe (according to leaks). Honor Magic 2 carries a €550/$625 price tag in China and it offers a definitely higher value for money.

Vivo, Nubia, and Oppo revolutionized smartphones’ designs in 2018 by getting rid of the silly notch while still realizing full borderless displays. Vivo released the first device with a motorized pop-up camera, Nubia realized the first dual-display smartphone which can use the rear cameras as selfie cameras, and Oppo made the first smartphone with a slider design and a screen-to-body ratio superior to 85%. Here we compared their latest flagships: Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition, Nubia X with dual-display and Oppo Find X with its slider design.

Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition vs Nubia X vs Oppo Find X

Design

Innovative aesthetics in each case, you should make your tastes decide. Vivo NEX Dual Display and Nubia X both come with two displays, one on the front and one on the back, so most of the surfaces of these phones are covered by a screen. Oppo Find X has a slider design with motorized parts and it features a slightly higher screen-to-body ratio. But on the other hand, it is a thicker device. All of them have an aluminum frame and a glass back, but Oppo Find X should have more resistant glasses as they feature the Gorilla Glass 5 protection.

Display

Vivo NEX Dual Display offers an overall better display quality, not only because it has two displays, but also because both of them are AMOLED panels with a Full HD resolution. It boasts brilliant colors and a high level of detail. Nubia X has two displays but their quality is not so high as the first is an above-average but still, midrange-class LCD display and the second is an OLED panel but its resolution is just HD. Oppo Find X has a very nice and even bigger screen, even though it remains far from the best flagships’ displays. Oppo Find X and Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition have an in-display fingerprint reader, while Nubia X has two side-mounted fingerprint readers.

Hardware/Software

All come with an octa-core Snapdragon 845 flagship SoC by Qualcomm, but given that Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition has 10 GB of RAM, it is the most interesting device when it comes to pure performance. But Nubia X comes with more internal storage: up to 512 GB. Noone of these handsets integrates a micro SD slot to expand the internal storage, while all of them come with a customized UI based on Android. However, Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is the only one based on Android Pie out of the box. So, overall, if you care about software and performance, Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is the best.

Camera

Talking about cameras, on the paper Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is again the winner with its 12 MP triple camera able to calculate distance and depth. Nubia X comes at the second place, but note that Nubia X and Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition do not feature a front camera. Thanks to their dual displays, you can use their rear cameras for selfies too. Oppo Find X is the only to sport a front sensor and it is one of the best selfie cameras out there. But the rear camera is a bit disappointing, that is why I would pick Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition.

Battery

Nubia X has the biggest battery and, thanks to its secondary HD+ OLED display on the back it is able to consume less energy. That is why it is the winner of the battery comparison. The second place goes to Oppo Find X and its 3730 mAh battery which integrates the fastest charging technology. Even though it comes at the last place, Vivo NEX Dual Display still comes with a more than sufficient battery which should provide a decent battery life in every scenario.

Price

Prices are the weak point of innovative devices, but it is not the case of the Nubia X which was launched with a starting price tag of just $510/€450. Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition debuted with prices of about $720/€635 and $871/€770, but you can already grab a unit of the Oppo Find X for less than $680/€600 in the global market. Vivo NEX Dual Display is still not on the shelves as it was announced earlier today. Vivo NEX Dual Display is definitely the best smartphone of the trio and it wins this comparison, but if you want to save money Nubia X will be more than sufficient for all your needs.

Vivo is continuing to produce experimental smartphones under the company’s NEX lineup. After launching the world’s first smartphone with an elevating front-facing camera, the company is now working on its successor.

The upcoming smartphone, Vivo NEX 2, will come with dual screens and triple camera setup, confirmed by the official renders of the smartphone. The Chinese company has already announced that the Vivo Nex 2 will be launched on December 11th.

The Vivo NEX 2, featuring a dual display design, won’t be the first smartphone to feature such design as ZTE has already launched Nubia X having dual screens. However, it’ll be interesting to see Vivo’s approach to this design.

Further, the device will be featuring three camera sensors on the back along with an LED flash, enhancing the overall photography experience. The triple rear camera sensor will be used for taking selfies as well. The rear-facing display serves as a viewfinder while shooting selfie images. Since there are no front-facing camera sensors, we are expecting a higher screen-to-body ratio with extremely narrow bezels.

The Vivo NEX 2 carries a slogan “extraordinary dual screen breakthrough in the future” as the dual screen design is a major feature of the device. The phone is expected to feature an in-display fingerprint sensor, making it the first dual-screen phone with an in-display fingerprint scanner.

While not much is known about the phone’s specifications, certifications reveal that the device will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 845 octa-core flagship chipset and will have up to 10GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

As for the software, the phone is claimed to offer a new OS experience. Vivo has developed a new version of its mobile operating system based on Android that has been tailored for dual-screen phones. It is also said to come with support for AI-based features.
