When Vivo’s first pop-up camera phone, the NEX S launched last year, it ran Android 8.1 Oreo out of the box which was actually the latest stable version of Android then.  Android Pie has been out now for more than six months but Vivo is just rolling out the update to the 2018 flagship.

The update which is 2.7GB in size brings a ton of new features and a new user interface. Below are some of the new features:

• Jovi Smart Scene – the Jovi AI assistant will provide useful suggestions and recommendations depending on where you are. So if you are driving or at work, the assistant will be able to tell and provide suggestions and bring up reminders related to your current location.
• Jovi Voice Assistant – the Jovi AI assistant now supports voice commands. Just say the action word followed by your command.
• Game Box – a game mode where you are not interrupted by notifications and calls. There is also a performance mode that improves the speed and performance of supported games.
• iHousekeeper – an improved system and storage cleaning function.
• Camera optimization – photo quality has been improved.
• File Sharing – new interface, supports cross-platform sharing including the transfer of files from iPhones, and the transfer of web pages.
• Simultaneous connection to two Bluetooth devices: You will be able to connect to two audio devices at once and set one of the devices for call audio output but ringtone will be played from both phones.

The Vivo NEX was the first phone to have a pop-up selfie camera. The feature is now available on other phones like the Vivo V15 Pro, the OPPO F11 Pro, the Vivo X27 and the X27 Pro.

The phone has a 6.59-inch Super AMOLED display with a 1080 x 2316 resolution, a Snapdragon 845 processor, 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage. For cameras, there is a 12MP + 5MP dual camera combo on the rear while the motorized pop-up selfie camera is an 8MP sensor. Other features of the NEX S include an in-display fingerprint scanner, a 4,000mAh battery, and support for 22.5W fast charging.

2018 was an interesting year for smartphones. In the pursuit of slimming down the bezels around the display, manufacturers came up with a number of different ideas. Last year, a number of manufacturers became bolder in releasing experimental products and consumers were more accepting in trying out first generation models. As a result, we saw some revolutionary smartphones make it to the market, many of them from Chinese manufacturers.

Here’s what we think were the 7 Most Revolutionary Chinese Smartphones of 2018

1. Huawei P20 Pro

You can’t really start this list without the Huawei P20 Pro. The phone was the first triple camera smartphone in the world and justified the existence of three lenses at the back with its amazing camera performance. It’s no surprise that the phone turned out to be one of the best camera smartphones of 2018 (our review here)! Even today, it’s the best-ranked flagship in the DxOMark rating for smartphone cameras.

That’s not it though! The phone also kicked off the trend for gradient back design. The Morpho Aurora P20 Pro (our hands on reivew here!) was a refreshing smartphone design and soon, it caught on among other manufacturers as well!

2. Vivo Nex S / OPPO Find X

Vivo was relentless in the pursuit of getting maximum real estate on its smartphones. This led to the birth of the Vivo APEX concept and eventually, the Vivo Nex S model for the commercial market. Featuring a motorized camera setup for selfies, the phone took the full-screen design to the next level.

Vivo was soon joined by OPPO with its Find X model launch in June (they had their reasons to not call it the Find 9). The Find series always had a special place among smartphone enthusiasts and seeing the lineup come back to life in the form the Find X was a sight to behold. Featuring SuperVOOC (limited to Lamborghini edition), a full-screen design, a motorized slider, and an impressive body design, the Find X was a glimpse of smartphone’s future. Definitely revolutionary!

3. POCO F1

Ever since OnePlus smartphones started to climb up the pricing ladder, they no longer deserved the ‘Flagship Killer’ title. But in 2018, we found something that did deserve this tagline — the POCO F1. Featuring the flagship Snapdragon 845 chipset at a price under $300, this particular model is as close as any phone can get to this title.

Not just that, you didn’t have to wait for an invite code or try out your luck in 10 flash sales to get hold of a unit. In fact, the POCO F1 was truly an international model which went on sale in over 50 markets worldwide.

4. Lenovo Z5 Pro GT

Lenovo was the last company we would have thought that would get the bragging rights to the first mass-produced Snapdragon 855 smartphone. But with the Lenovo Z5 Pro GT, it deserves much more than that. The phone is also the first one to feature up to 12GB of RAM on board! It’s definitely overkill considering our current entertainment and gaming needs, but still impressive. The phone starts at an affordable $391 and will be up for pre-orders in China from January 15. The first sale is slated for January 24.

5. Huawei Mate 20 X

The Mate 20 X with its humongous 7.2-inch display borders near the tablet category. But for all purposes, it’s a smartphone and acts like one despite its huge display. Our reviewers loved this phone for its huge display, powerful internals, and an amazing camera. You should definitely check out our review from here!

If you think a 7.2-inch display is an overkill, think again. People who consume a lot of videos and games on their smartphones would love such a large screen in their hands. What makes the phone revolutionary is the fact that it’s smaller in size as compared to other phablets like the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (176.2 x 87.4 x 8 mm) or older ones like Lenovo Phab2 Pro (179.8 x 88.6 x 10.7 mm) or Zenfone 3 Ultra (186.4 x 93.9 x 6.8 mm)! Basically, you get more screen in a form factor that’s considered manageable in the phablet segment.

6. Nubia X

Nubia is a driven company and we’ve been impressed with their Z series models featuring bezel-less design. However, in the pursuit of a higher screen to body ratio, the company decided to go for a second screen at the back. While we have seen smartphone companies try out a secondary screen (like the LG V20) on their regular models, this one’s a full-fledged 5.1-inch OLED display at the back. This second screen basically eliminates the need for a selfie camera, allowing the company to use a clean front design. Ingenious or stupid, that’s for you to decide. But it’s definitely an innovative way to get rid of the bezel on top of the display without having to resort for ugly notches or moving parts like a slider. It’s no surprise that Vivo decided to release its own dual screen flagship a couple of months later called the Vivo Nex Dual.

7. Huawei Nova 4 / Honor View 20.

Punch hole cameras are the next big experiment in smartphone display design and Huawei has kicked off this trend with its Nova 4 and Honor V20 smartphones. Samsung also joins the party with its Galaxy A8S model, but overall, with two mainstream models in the market so early, the Chinese tech giant seems to be all in for this particular design.

Another highlight of the Honor View 20 is its unique back design. Huawei and Honor have consistently managed to churn out unique designs for its smartphones and the trend continues with the new model as well.

To sum up, 2018 was an exciting year for Chinese smartphone enthusiasts! But this year is going to be even better with foldables hitting the market. So we are definitely looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us! 

Do you think we missed out on any other revolutionary Chinese phones in this list from 2018?  Let us know in the comments below!

At the end of 2018, Vivo had released Android 9 Pie closed beta for few of it smartphones such as Vivo NEX S, NEX A, X21 UD and X21 in China. Since it was a closed beta update, it was made available for limited number of 5,000 users in the home market. With the beginning of year 2019, the Chinese manufacturer has now proclaimed the arrival of open beta update for aforementioned smartphones in the home country.

In order to receive the Android 9 Pie open beta, one needs to enroll for it. Users in China are required to download the official recruitment app from the company and install the latest edition of the FunTouch OS. Owners of Vivo NEX S, NEX A, X21 UD and X21 in China can enroll until Jan. 6. There is no limit on the number of recruits since it is an open beta update. The update will be pushed to the user from Jan. 8.

The size of the Android 9 Pie beta is 2.71 GB. It not only includes the latest version of Android, but also other goodies such as Jovi Smart Scene, Jovi Smart Voice Assistant, Jovi Wisdom Map, improved UI, game box, camera optimizations, and more. Apart from the ones mentioned above, Vivo is yet to confirm on the names of the other phones that will be treated with Android 9.0 Pie update.

Vivo had released around 30 smartphones in 2018. Among them, there are many low-budget phones. The Chinese manufacturer is likely to prioritize on the releasing the Android 9 Pie update first for its high-end phones from 2018. The Vivo NEX Dual Display smartphone that was unveiled in December 2018 is the first phone from the company to come preloaded with Android 9 Pie. In India, the Vivo V11 Pro has been one of the most search smartphones in 2018. Hopefully, the Android 9 Pie will be also available for it later this year.

The Vivo NEX S is one of the most sensational smartphones in recent times since it came with various exciting features such as huge notch-less display, under-display fingerprint scanner, pop-up selfie camera and more. A mysterious smartphone with some advanced features such as dual displays and triple rear cameras has been unboxed on YouTube channel Mrwhosetheboss. It is speculated that it could be the Vivo NEX S2.

The video claims that the mystery phone will be debuting in December but does neither reveal the name of the device nor the brand name. The unboxing video highlights the three innovative features of the phones. Even though the phone is shown in the video, it does not really reveal its exact design.

The first feature that the video talks about is the Lunar Ring. it looks like a colorful RGB LED ring that can glow for notifications. The LED ring is placed on the rear side of the phone.

The frontside of the phone is mainly occupied by the main display. The backside of the phone features another display. The rear camera system can be used for snapping selfies with the second display acting as a viewfinder. The handset does not feature a selfie shooter on the front. The design of the phone reminds us of the Nubia X dual screen smartphone that was announced at the end of the previous month.

The mystery phone is equipped with triple rear cameras that seems to be placed inside Lunar Ring. An LED flash is placed alongside it. The triple camera setup may include a 3D Time of Flight (ToF) sensor.

Recent rumors have suggested that Vivo is working on a smartphone with dual displays. Leaked photos of the phone have also surfaced to reveal dual display design. However, there is no official confirmation yet from Vivo. Also, there is no direct evidence to prove that the mystery phone unboxed in the above video is the successor of the Vivo NEX S.

2018 is the year of aesthetical innovation in the smartphones market, and the newly-announced Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is a perfect example of it. But the device which started this trend in 2018 is Vivo NEX S with its pop up front camera. In this comparison, we will compare Xiaomi Mi Mix 3, Vivo NEX S and, given its quality-price ratio, another device from another Chinese company which is trying to conquer the affordable flagships sector: Meizu 16 Plus.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 vs Vivo NEX S vs Meizu 16 Plus

Design

As it features the highest screen-to-body ratio and it has the first pop up camera in the market, as well as the thinnest design, I think that Vivo NEX S wins the design comparison. It is a definitely more attractive device, even though there are only marginal differences between it and Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. The only disadvantage is represented by its bigger dimensions, but it also has a bigger display.

Display

Talking about the display, I would pick the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 for a simple reason: if we base on the specs on the paper, it should provide a better color reproduction. Why? Simple: because it boasts the HDR technology. On the other hand, Meizu 16 Plus has the biggest screen which is very useful for productivity and games.

Hardware/Software

Given that all of these devices feature a powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset under the hood, the only important difference between their hardware sides is represented by memory configurations. And on this aspect, Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is the winner as it is available with up to 10 GB of RAM and up to 512 GB of internal storage. The internal storage may be even more important than you expected as these phones do not feature a micro SD slot to expand it.

Camera

The cameras which should provide the best overall performance should be the ones of Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. It features 4-axis OIS on the rear side and even a dual camera on the front side: the most impressive setup of the trio. The second place is for Meizu 16 Plus featuring OIS, laser autofocus and a six-LED flash on the back.

Battery

Vivo NEX S has the biggest battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh, even though it is not the thickest phone. And it also provides a way longer battery life than its opponents. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is disappointing with just 3200 mAh (but it is the only one which can be charged wirelessly), while Meizu 16 Plus sits in the middle.

Price

The launch price of Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 is about $571/€500, Meizu 16 Plus starts from $548/€480 and Vivo NEX S starts from $800/€700. The best value for money phone is definitely Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 because of its price and its outstanding camera performance, but overall I like Vivo NEX S slightly more because of its bigger battery.

Huawei finally announced the new Huawei Mate 20 Pro, its best smartphone at least until the successor of Huawei P20 Pro will be official. It brings a lot of power and also a lot of innovation to the market. Alongside this device, two other Chinese handsets who brought most innovation this year are Oppo Find X and Vivo NEX S, which are currently the best Chinese phones you can get alongside a few others. This is a comparison we made to let you understand their differences and which one is better than each other.

Huawei Mate 20 Pro vs Oppo Find X vs Vivo NEX S

Design

These devices are something incredible when it comes to the design. Oppo Find X and Vivo NEX S are the most innovative smartphones of 2018 in terms of aesthetics. In order to reach almost a 100 percent screen-to-body ratio, the companies opted for motorized parts which house their front cameras. While Vivo NEX S has a single pop-up camera, Oppo Find X has a slider housing the whole camera department as well as all the sensors that you usually find on the front panel of smartphones. Thanks to the motorized slider, it has the highest screen-to-body ratio ever and it wins the design comparison.

Display

Huawei Mate 20 Pro has the most exciting display, even though it is the only one which has a notch. Its screen is an AMOLED panel with a very high Quad HD+  resolution, and it is HDR10-compliant. Given these specifications, it should be the display with the best viewing quality. All of these devices have a fingerprint reader integrated into the display for authentication, while Vivo NEX S is the only one which does not have a 3D facial recognition system.

Hardware/Software

After iPhone Xs and Xs Max, the new Huawei Mate 20 Pro is the first handset to hit the market with a 7 nm SoC. On the paper, it seems the best processor in the Android market and it will remain so at least until the successor of Snapdragon 845 releases. But we will have to try it in order to confirm it.

Camera

Huawei Mate 20 Pro wins the camera comparison as it features the same triple camera setup as the Huawei P20 Pro, considered the best camera phone until now. It has a 40 MP primary sensor, a 20 MP wide-angle secondary sensor and a third telephoto lens with 5x optical zoom. Oppo Find X and Vivo NEX S have no chances with their average (for a flagship) dual cameras.

Battery

Huawei Mate 20 Pro has the biggest battery with a capacity of 4200 mAh, but it is not said that it will last more than Vivo NEX S and its 4000 mAh unit. It has a 7 nm chipset with a low energy consumption, but it also has a Quad HD+ display that consumes more than Full HD+ ones of Vivo NEX S. So we have to test it before judging.

Price

Huawei Mate 20 Pro is getting ready to hit the global market with a price tag of €1050/$1211, Oppo Find X is already in the global market with a €999/$1154 price tag, while Vivo NEX S costs about €700/$807 in Asia. In my opinion, Huawei Mate 20 Pro wins the comparison due to its better display and camera.

We all know, every major manufacturer is either testing or developing new products which are compatible with the 5G technology. It is expected that by the year 2020 most of the developed markets would upgrade to the 5G networks. In a bid to make 5G enabled smartphones, Vivo has completed successful trial of the 5G technology using a modified version of its latest flagship device, Nex S.

Last week, Oppo did a successful test of 5G protocol on an Oppo R15, and today, another BBK Electronics company has attained the 5G readiness. In a press note, Vivo explained that they did the test on the Nex S by doing some necessary changes and adding the latest Qualcomm X50 modem. During the test, the device included a non-standalone architecture model with both LTE and NR (New Radio) antennas. The test was based on 3GPP Release 12 standards, which is the first phase of the 5G protocol.

Vivo will now start testing and developing the actual 5G phone by examining IODT and using actual 5G network and infrastructure. Vivo is giving a timeline of the year 2020 for the launch of 5G enabled smartphone.

Many giants are signing pacts and agreements with the different companies to attain the 5G technology in their devices. Recently, Xiaomi has partnered with NTT Docomo to rollout the 5G related devices and equipments in Japan. Further, Samsung has developed 7nm foundry process which will be used in Snapdragon 855, a fully supported 5G SoC. Samsung will launch the Galaxy S10 as 5G ready device and later Lenovo, Huawei and many other OEMs will join the race next year.

Vivo NEX belongs to the third series of mobile phones by Vivo sporting a comfortable and futuristic in-display fingerprint reader. However, in-display fingerprint readers based on the chip released by Synaptics in late 2017 are not as fast and accurate as the traditional optical fingerprint readers. But do not worry: Vivo is continuously working on improving the performance of its in-screen fingerprint reader. After a first update released days ago, a new update is seeding on the latest flagship. According to reports, it has a size of 301.07 MB and it includes improvements for the in-display fingerprint reader of the Vivo NEX S and A.

An official changelog has been released alongside the update and it mentions optimizations to fingerprint recognition logic to improve fingerprint recognition efficiency. The update brings the number of version of Funtouch OS (Vivo’s own Android fork) to 1.16.5 and the improvements to the fingerprint scanner are not the only ones present in the changelog. System performance and stability have been improved as well, so you should get a smoother and more stable experience while using your device. Further, there are optimizations to the compatibility of the operating system with third-party apps, as well as improvements to the Bluetooth compatibility and stability while the phone is connected to a car.

Jovi virtual assistant based on AI has been updated too. In detail, the wake-up system and the AI scene recognition have been improved, as well as the processing of portrait light effects. Further, there are optimizations to the beauty mode, internet performance, and network adaptability. And this is not the only update released since the phone was launched: the previous one brought Funtouch OS to v1.15.7 with a size of 95.23 MB.

Vivo NEX S is slowly making its way to new countries in the Asian market. Now, the launch date in India has been revealed. According to the official online store of the company and Amazon India, the handset will be officially up for pre-orders starting from July 19. On Amazon India, there is also a sweet promotion to grab it. If you claim an e-gift card by July 17 and pre-order the handset in the period between July 19 and July 25, you can get INR 5,000 off, no cost EMI for 12 months at max, a free screen replacement in case it cracks and even a data offer from the known Indian carrier Jio.

Instead, if you order Vivo NEX S from the official store, you will get up to INR 3,500 in free accessories. Unfortunately, the Chinese company still did not disclose the price tag of the handset once it will go on sale. According to the latest reports, the price will start from INR 48,990 which roughly translates into $715 or €610. The device is expected to be priced higher than in China. While we wait for July 19, it is worth reminding you of the main specs of this phone.

The Vivo NEX S sports a design with a glass backplate and an aluminum frame. It has a borderless display with an on-screen fingerprint reader and a size of 6.59 inches, showing images at a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2316 pixels. On the hardware side, it boasts an octa-core Snapdragon 845 chipset by Qualcomm with a max clock frequency of 2.8 GHz, 8 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of internal storage not expandable. Its main camera setup is composed of two sensors with 12 and 5 MP resolutions, f/1.8 and f/2.4 apertures. The front snapper is a motorized pop-up selfie camera with an 8 MP resolution and a f/2.0 aperture.

Everytime an important flagship gets released, Zack from the YouTube channel JerryRigEverything performs an endurance test in order to check how resistant it is. He did the same with the new Vivo NEX S, which we can define one of the most innovative smartphones of this year. Zack did three kinds of test: a scratch test, a bend test, and a burn test. And the phone has passed all the tests successfully with an incredible result, showing to be a very solid and resistant device.

Zack confirmed that the handset is made of glass for the backplate and metal for the frame, as the company did not reveal it before. One of the main concerns of people who are deciding to buy this handset is the resistance of its motorized pop-up camera. Well, he tested the pop-up camera of the Vivo NEX S as well and it is incredibly solid. It is made of glass and metal just like the device. In the bend test, it flexed a bit, but the display has not cracked and neither the glass back. From what this torture test is showing, besides focusing on innovation and an outstanding hardware side, Vivo has also been able to release a very sturdy phone with long-lasting aesthetics.

Vivo NEX S rocks a wide 6.59-inch display with a Full HD+ resolution of 2316 x 1080 pixels, no notch and an in-display fingerprint reader based on the chip unveiled by Synaptics in the second half of last year. Its processor is the octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 running at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz, paired with 8 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of internal storage. It boasts a rear dual camera with 12 and 5 MP resolutions, f/1.8 and f/2.4 apertures, while the motorized pop-up camera has a resolution of 8 MP and a f/2.0 aperture.

Vivo has managed to become one of the best Chinese companies, even though it was only established in China. Now, Vivo’s focus is no longer limited to China. The BBK-owned hi-tech giant has announced that its latest flagship Vivo NEX will soon hit the global market. The handset will initially come in five selected markets: Russia, India, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and this will happen within the end of July. The news comes from an official press release so there is not any doubt about the global launch.

Vivo NEX has been released in two variants: NEX S and NEX A, embracing two different price ranges. The first version ranges from CNY 4498 to 4998 in China, which roughly translates into €580 and €640, while the second version costs €510. Both the variants are concept phones made real, with a whopping 91 percent screen-to-body ratio and a motorized pop-up front camera for selfies. They also sport an in-display fingerprint reader. The display has a size of 6.59 inches, the Super AMOLED technology and a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2316 pixels, without notch.

The design is composed of a glass back and an aluminum frame just like most of the premium flagship phones. Under the hood of the Vivo NEX S, there is an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 chipset (an octa-core running at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz) supported by 8 GB of RAM and 128 or 256 GB of internal storage depending on the chosen configuration. The NEX A instead sports an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC with a 2.2 GHz clock frequency, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The main camera department is a dual setup with 12 and 5 MP resolutions, while the secondary one has an 8 MP resolution. Both the variants have a big 4000 mAh battery.

Oppo and Vivo are the smartphone manufacturers who seems to be on a spree of innovation in 2018. With the Vivo NEX series and Oppo Find X, these two hi-tech giants controlled by BBK Electronics have released the devices with the highest screen-to-body ratios ever. And they are also the first devices with motorized pop-up cameras. Besides being innovative, they are also powerful flagship devices suitable for the most advanced users. If you are unsure about which of these two you should buy, this Vivo NEX S vs Oppo Find X comparison will clear your mind.

Vivo NEX S vs Oppo Find X

Design

Vivo NEX S and Oppo Find X feature a full borderless design, a back cover made of glass and an aluminum frame. Oppo Find X has the most narrow bezels ever seen on a phone and its display covers more than 92% of the front surface. Vivo NEX S is close to 100% as well, but its screen-to-body ratio is a bit lower. While NEX S comes with a pop-up front camera, Oppo Find X has a motorized slider on the upper part which reveals the front camera as well as the dual rear camera. Thanks to this and to the slightly smaller display, it has more compact dimensions, but it is thicker. Vivo NEX S has an in-display fingerprint reader as the main authentication system, while Oppo Find X features 3D facial recognition. Aesthetically, we prefer the Find X due to the more innovative design and more compact dimensions, but it is all about individual preferences.

Display

AMOLED panels in both cases, with brilliant colors and deep blacks. As said above Oppo Find X has a slightly smaller display (6.42 vs 6.59 inches) but despite this, it has a slightly higher resolution. It should not be noticeable in everyday use, but it is always worth mentioning. We do not recommend you to choose one of these devices by basing on the display as the differences are marginal. Focus on the other specs instead.

Hardware/Software

If we exclude the innovation, the hardware side is the main focus of these devices. They come with the best SoC you can find in the Android world: the octa-core Snapdragon 845 by Qualcomm which runs at a max frequency of 2.8 GHz. It is supported by 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, but the Find X will also be available in a 128 GB configuration. Even when it comes to hardware and software, it is a draw. With exactly the same hardware, we do not expect very different performances. Further, the Android customizations made by Oppo and Vivo (Funtouch OS and Color OS) are both very functional and comfortable: so it’s all about your personal preference.

Camera

We did not have the chance to take any photos from these devices yet, but on the paper, Oppo Find X seems to be a way better camera phone than Vivo NEX S. It sports a 16 + 20 MP dual camera (optically stabilized) on its back and an amazing 25 MP snapper on the front which also supports 3D facial recognition. We do not believe that this setup will reach the level of top camera phones, but it will still be greater than NEX S.

Battery

While we firmly believe that Oppo Find X will provide better photo quality, it is likely that Vivo NEX S will have a longer battery life. We expect its monster 4000 mAh battery to achieve at least one day and a half of battery life with a stressed use. However, Oppo Find X has a big battery as well, so it will not be disappointing. Further, its fast-charging technology (VOOC) will be faster.

Price

Besides Asia, Oppo Find X will launch in Europe, and its price will be €999. Vivo NEX S has been introduced in China with a price tag of just $776/€670. Oppo Find X is the winner of the comparison, at least according to us. Pricing is on the higher side on the Find X, but the design is much more innovative too!

Earlier this month, Vivo launched its two new smartphones — Vivo NEX S and NEX A. Now, the company is all set to launch Vivo NEX series smartphone in the Indian market on July 19.

Vivo has now started sending out media invites for the 19th July launch event in India where the company will launch Vivo NEX series smartphone. While the invite makes it clear that the company will be debuting a NEX series smartphone, it’s still not clear if both smartphones will be launched or only the more affordable NEX A will come to India.

One of the highlights of the smartphone is that it comes with an 8-megapixel front-facing snapper automatically rises and hides on opening and closing camera app, and also makes a sound to notify the user. This is done using micro-stepping motors with independent drive ICs and precision control algorithms.

The device features a third-generation in-display fingerprint scanning technology that improves the screen unlock time by 10 percent and increases the overall experience of phone unlocking. On the back side, there’s a dual camera setup which consists of 12-megapixel sensors, primary being a Sony IMX363 sensor with 1.4μm pixels, f/1.8 aperture, and four-axis optical image stabilization and a 5-megapixel secondary sensor with f/2.4 aperture.

The smartphone comes with a 6.59-inch Super AMOLED Ultra FullView “Zero Screen” Display with a screen-to-body ratio of 91.24 percent and 2316 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. All the sensors on the device are hidden under the display and instead of an earpiece, the phone comes with a Screen SoundCasting Technology.

The Vivo NEX S is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 processor along with Adreno 630 GPU. It packs 4GB RAM and comes in two internal storage options — 128GB and 256GB. On the other hand, the Vivo NEX A comes powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC and packs 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage.

It comes equipped with the company’s own personal voice assistant — Jovi, which works on artificial intelligence technology. The phone also has Vivo Game Engine, which is made in partnership with Tencent Games. It aims to provide an immersive gaming experience based on software and hardware optimization.

Connectivity options on the devices include Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz / 5GHz) 2×2 MIMO, Bluetooth 5 LE, GPS + GLONASS, and USB Type-C.

Eleven days after its official announcement event, Vivo NEX has finally hit the shelves. For now, the launch is limited to the Chinese market: the handset has hit the shelves for the first time on June 23 and now we finally know its price. As we know since the official announcement, the handset has been launched in three variants: there are a NEX A variant and two configurations of the NEX S version. The first one carries a price tag of 3898 Yuan which roughly translates into $599. The NEX S in the configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage costs 4498 Yuan (roughly $690), while the most expensive one with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB ROM costs 5998 Yuan (about $769).

Note that Vivo NEX A is a lower-end version of the flagship as it features an octa-core Snapdragon 710 chipset by Qualcomm running at a max frequency of 2.2 GHz, while the other two variants pack an octa-core Snapdragon 845 flagship-level chipset with a max frequency of 2.8 GHz. The memory configurations are different as well: the NEX A is equipped with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

Going ahead the hardware side, each variant of the Vivo NEX has a glass back and an aluminum frame, as well as a full borderless display with a screen-to-body ratio superior to 91 percent. The device has an in-display fingerprint reader and a wide 6.59-inch screen with the Super AMOLED technology and a Full HD+ resolution of 2316 x 1080 pixels. The camera setup is composed of two sensors with 12 and 5 MP resolutions, respectively. Given that the display covers almost the whole front panel, the company has implemented a motorized pop-up front camera with an 8 MP resolution.

Today, at a launch event in China, Vivo has announced its much-anticipated smartphones — Vivo NEX. The Vivo NEX is the production version of the Vivo Apex smartphone that was showcased by the China-based company during the Mobile World Congress.

The smartphone comes with a 6.59-inch Super AMOLED Ultra FullView “Zero Screen” Display with a screen-to-body ratio of 91.24 percent and 2316 x 1080 pixels screen resolution. All the sensors on the device are hidden under the display. Instead of an earpiece, the phone comes with a Screen SoundCasting Technology which promises better bass and softer treble.

Because of the narrow bezels surrounding the display, Vivo had to come up with a unique solution for the front-facing camera. And thus, one of the highlights of the phone is that it comes with a pop-up front-facing camera. The 8-megapixel front-facing snapper automatically rises and hides on opening and closing camera app, and also makes a sound to notify the user. The company says that it uses micro-stepping motors with independent drive ICs and precision control algorithms to precisely control this process.

The device features a third-generation in-display fingerprint scanning technology, which according to the company increases the screen unlock time by 10 percent and increases the overall experience of phone unlocking. On the back side, there’s a dual camera setup which consists of 12-megapixel sensors, primary being a Sony IMX363 sensor with 1.4μm pixels, f/1.8 aperture, and four-axis optical image stabilization and a 5-megapixel secondary sensor with f/2.4 aperture.

The phone also has Vivo Game Engine, which is made in partnership with Tencent Games. It aims to provide an immersive gaming experience based on software and hardware optimization and is also optimized to run games made using Unreal Engine. Further, the Vivo NEX also features 7.1-channel 3D audio, thanks to dtsX partnership. It also has Vivo Hi-Fi V1 System In Package technology for hi-fi quality sound through earphones.

The Vivo NEX smartphone comes in three variants. The high-end model, dubbed as Vivo NEX S, is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 845 processor along with Adreno 630 GPU, 8GB RAM, and 256GB internal storage. The mid-end variant has the same specs as that of the highest-end variant except for the internal storage as it packs 128GB storage.

The cheapest variant among the three, which is called Vivo NEX A, comes powered by Qualcomm’s recently launched Snapdragon 710 SoC, along with 6GB RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. All three models are powered by a 4,000mAh battery with 22.5W fast charging support. Connectivity options on the devices include Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 ac (2.4GHz / 5GHz) 2×2 MIMO, Bluetooth 5 LE, GPS + GLONASS, and USB Type-C.

Further, the smartphones come equipped with the company’s own personal voice assistant — Jovi, which works on artificial intelligence technology. It supports several functionalities such as smart map reading, encyclopedia, shopping, translation, scanning, and screen recognition among others.

Vivo says that Jovi will keep learning based on the understanding of the user actions. There’s a dedicated button on the side of the camera that triggers Jovi AI voice assistant on the long-press action. The company says that it has established AI joint laboratories with partners with an aim to provide a brand new user experience through AI intelligence.

The smartphone comes with Vivo’s newly designed custom user interface Energy UI with AI technology, running on top of Android Oreo operating system out of the box. Further, the device also supports engine-level SDK optimization, HPUE technology antenna layout, and a zero-sensor cooling system.

Apart from a report on the leaked hands-on video, most of the recent leaks have only revealed the specs and pricing of the Vivo NEX, NEX A and NEX S smartphones. Earlier today, a Chinese leakster had shared new photos of the phone on Weibo. The new images have surfaced to show the Vivo NEX in real skin before its official launch.

The rear side of the phone has a vertical dual camera setup that is placed at the top-left corner of the phone. Its posterior also features a squarish fingerprint scanner. This could be the “Vivo NEX” variant that had momentarily appeared with a rear-mounted fingerprint reader on the official website in the previous week. The backside of the handset seems to be made out of glass.

The other two images give a clearer view of the frontside of the Vivo NEX. The pop-up camera is clearly in one of the images. The handset is expected to arrive with a massive display of 6.59 inches. The leaked photos suggest that smartphone will indeed offer an impressive screen space. As it can be seen in the image, the chin of the device is a bit thicker than other bezels that surround the screen. It is speculated that the Vivo NEX will deliver a screen-to-body ratio of around 91 percent.

Just as the Vivo V9 had popped on Vivo India’s online shop before its official announcement, the upcoming Vivo NEX flagship phone had also momentarily appeared on the Chinese edition of Vivo’s website. The Vivo NEX and NEX S were found listed on the official website along with their entire specifications. As expected, those listings have been taken down, but their screenshots are available on SlashLeaks.

The Vivo NEX was listed with a pricing of 9,999 Yuan (~$1,560). The smartphone is unlikely to carry such a high pricing. It is speculated that the Vivo NEX variants could be priced around $800 to $1,000.

Vivo NEX S Specifications

As it can be seen in the listing, the Vivo NEX S will be coming in red colored rear and a black front. The handset features 8 GB of RAM and an internal storage of 128 GB. It is driven by the Snapdragon 845 chipset. The device is preinstalled with Android 8.1 Oreo with a layer of FunTouch OS on its top.

The Vivo NEX S has a massive display of 6.59 inches that supports 2,316 x 1080 pixels. The exact screen-to-body ratio was not mentioned on the official listing. Considering the fact that the display is surrounded by super-slim bezel and a thin-sized bottom bezel, the Vivo NEX S is likely to deliver a screen-to-body ratio of around 91 percent. The smartphone measures 162 x 77 x 7.98mm and it includes a 4,000mAh battery.

The Vivo NEX S has a front-facing popup camera of 8-megapixel. The rear side features a vertical dual camera setup that comprises of 12-megapixel primary sensor and 5-megapixel secondary sensor. Some of the connectivity features of the Vivo NEX S smartphone include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, USB 2.0 and USB OTG. This model is equipped with an under-display fingerprint reader. Probably, it features the half-screen fingerprint scanner that was available on the Vivo APEX concept phone.

Vivo NEX Specifications

The Vivo NEX is a low powered version of the NEX S as it is fueled by Snapdragon 710 chipset and 6 GB of RAM. Also, another striking difference is that it does not feature an under-screen fingerprint scanner. The rear side of the phone is fitted with a squarish fingerprint reader. This model also features a native storage of 128 GB.

The Vivo NEX measures 162 x 77 x 9.8mm and it also features the huge 6.59-inch display that produces FHD+ resolution of 2316 x 1080 pixels. It is packed with a 4,000mAh battery.

Vivo has recently confirmed through an official teaser that the Vivo NEX flagship phone would be equipped with a pop-up selfie camera. Today, the company has released to showcase the amazing display of the phone that offers a huge screen space.

Most of the smartphone makers including Vivo have been launching notch enabled smartphones in a bid to provide users with ample screen space. It seems that Vivo is all set to start a new trend of notch-less display that offers a very high screen-to-body ratio. Here is the first official teaser of Vivo NEX that shows its marvelous display.

As it can be seen in the official poster, the display of the phone is surrounded by super-slim bezels on three sides. The bottom side of the NEX’s display is slightly thick. Rumors have that the Vivo NEX will be coming with a massive display of 6.59 inches.

Like the Vivo APEX concept phone, the NEX smartphone is expected to deliver a screen-to-body ratio of around 91 percent. One of the ways through which Vivo has manage to offer user with a such large screen space by removing the selfie camera from the top bezel. This has allowed the company to significantly reduce the size of the top bezel. The front camera is now hidden in at the top edge of the phone. It can pop-up on its own when a user wants to activate it through the camera app to capture a selfie shot. The Vivo NEX is also expected to feature half-screen fingerprint scanner that will allow users to unlock the phone by touching the finger on any area on the lower half of the screen.

Vivo is expected to launch three variants of its bezel-less and notch-less phone – the Vivo NEX. The three models are the NEX, NEX S, and NEX A. An earlier report said the Vivo NEX S will come with a Snapdragon 710 but a Geekbench listing has disproved it.

The Vivo NEX S was seen on Geekbench today and the benchmarking site revealed that the phone will come with a Snapdragon 845 processor and not the Snapdragon 710. It will also have 8GB of RAM. While storage isn’t mentioned, we presume it will be 256GB.

Geekbench also revealed the device runs Android 8.1 Oreo. The Vivo NEX S scored 2419 points in the single-core test and 9085 points in the multi-core test.

The Vivo NEX is the launch name for the Vivo APEX that was revealed earlier this year. Vivo has provided no explanation for why it changed the name. Nevertheless, it is nice to see Vivo is releasing a proper flagship this year. Last year, it skipped the Snapdragon 835 and didn’t release the Xplay7.

With the name of Vivo NEX, the concept phone Vivo APEX became real and entered the mass production. After a bunch of leaks revealing more than one variant of the upcoming phone and after the official launch confirmation was given by the company through a teaser image, three variants of the handset have just been spotted. The variants have just appeared on a 3C listing. In case you do not know, 3C is a Chinese agency that verifies the eligibility of products for the consumers market. The three versions are dubbed as Vivo NEX, NEX A and NEX S.

We already heard about the NEX S variant which has recently appeared on Geekbench, but we never heard about the NEX A until now. 3C did not reveal any of the main specs of the smartphone. From the listing, we can just acknowledge that they support 5V / 2A, 9V / 2A and 10V /2.25A charging profiles. According to speculations, the NEX A may be a China-exclusive variant of the upcoming device, while the other two variants will hit markets outside of China as well.

Vivo NEX will sport a borderless design with a screen-to-body ratio near to 100 percent. In order to achieve this, the company has decided to implement a “periscope” selfie camera which can be extracted in a fraction of second from the top side of the device. According to reports, the top-end variant will offer an octa-core Snapdragon 845 SoC by Qualcomm, 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal storage, and it is expected to be launched with a listing price of more than $1000. But there will be also a more affordable variant with the new Snapdragon 710, 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. It is rumored to cost less than $800. Vivo will launch the NEX and its variants on June 12.
