As Vivo, the China-based global mobile industry is set to unveil a revolutionary product that will make the world's first smartphone with in-display fingerprint recognition look boring and unimaginative, its flag ship phones the Vivo NEX and NEX S were momentarily displayed on Vivo's official website.
The leak showcased almost full details of the phones including prices tagged at an outrageous 9.999 Yuan (about $1,560).
The vivo NEX S is said to sport a Snapdragon 845 chipset with 8GB of RAM, a huge 6.59-inch display with 1080 x 2316 pixels resolution and a humongous 4,000 mAh battery. On the back, we find a pair of 12MP and 5MP sensors and on the front, an 8MP periscope camera takes care of the selfies and video calls.
The budget version settles for a Snapdragon 710 chipset with 6GB of RAM, but boasts all other specs the full-fledged version has. Unfortunately, the price of the latter has affected the iconic in-display fingerprint feature.
Another big difference appears to be the rear-mounted fingerprint sensor on the standard NEX, which the Vivo NEX S is expected to bury under its display.
What we’re not sure about is the conceptual APEX’s pop-up front camera, which could be found on one or both commercial NEX versions.
The regular NEX will be incorporating a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. We also remain unsure of the periscope camera, will it be a NEX S-only or both phones will get it.
