Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition With Lunar Ring ,Triple Cameras Is Official in China

The Vivo NEX lineup has been opposed to notches from the very beginning and originates the pop-up selfie camera to be the faultless resolution for the same. Well, the company is still following similar ideas and taking things a ‘notch’ further with the presentation of the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition.

Vivo NEX Dual-Display Edition: Price and Availability
This new variant of the Vivo NEX comes only in a single 10GB+128GB configuration and has been priced at 4,998 yuan, which unevenly translates to Rs 52,000. It comes in 2 dissimilar colors, namely Polar Blue and Nebula Purple.

The Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is arranged to go on sale from December 29, just in time for New Year’s, in China but there’s no word on worldwide handiness yet. The innovative Vivo NEX did find its way to India earlier this year, so we are confident that the company could bring it to the country next year.

Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition: Features

The Vivo NEX Dual Display Version comes as a noteworthy step up over its predecessor, so let’s take a look at what all it has to offer:

Dual Displays

As the name previously implies, this device has taken the Nubia route to steer clear of not only the notch but also the mechanical camera with the addition of two displays.

The Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition now packs a 6.39-inch Full-HD+ Super AMOLED display on the front, with tiny bezels, a display determination of 2340 × 1080 pixels, and a 91.63 percent screen-to-body ratio. There’s an alike 5.49-inch Full-HD+ display on the rear, but with enormous bezels in 2018, and these two displays play well with each other, thanks to the dual-display multitasking feature.

Using this feature, you could be watching a movie on the front screen and have your texting session on the back, or any number of such combinations.

Another gimmicky feature exposed off on stage is the use of the secondary display as a rear TouchPad. You could use the Magic case to display quotes or Mood Gestures to send messages to your lover, who can read it on the second display.

Triple Cameras

Moving on the camera section, you can previously tell that there’s no selfie camera on board and only a three-sensor arrangement on the rear – which when coupled with the rear display will fulfill the duties of a selfie camera as well. There’s a 12MP dual-pixel primary sensor (with 4-axis OIS), backed by a 2-MP secondary sensor (night video camera), and time of flight (TOF) 3D module obtainable on here.

Apart from the display, the cameras are additional highlight of the smartphone and it has brought a ton of features in tow. You get Mirror Mode, which permits not only the person clicking a picture but also the person on the other side to see the similarities in real-time. The company also touted of a low-light video and super night mode feature on the step but we will require to test those out to know better.

The TOF camera not only permits the users to unlock the smartphone via the 3D Face Access feature in under 0.35 seconds by taking into account 300,000 nodal points. The camera, which is also seen on Oppo R17 Pro, comes inaccessible for clicking better low-light photos and adding a measurement to your life via 3D object-scanning competences.

Lunar Ring

Another highlight of the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is the much-rumored lunar ring. It combines 16 hidden RGB LED lights and lenient light to brighten up portrait shots and use the diffusion lighting upshot of the Lunar Ring.

The RGB-lit lunar ring around the camera segment would also come handy to indicate when the phone’s charging, the Jovi voice assistant is in use, incoming calls and announcements. It can even dance along to your tunes, as shown below.

There’s a fifth-gen in-display fingerprint sensor on board and Vivo boasts of unlocking speed of about 0.29 seconds, which is faster than OnePlus 6T.

Vivo attempts to be at the forefront of invention and the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is another instance of the company’s dedication to break the mold and think out of the box.

You maybe think that two displays are nothing new, but Vivo has taken the execution to greater heights by adding more features, including a few gimmicky ones. The camera improvements to make this device look tempting. But all of that is on paper and we don’t distinguish whether this phone is actually worth your courtesy.

Top 5 Smartphones with Pop-up Cameras and Sliders in 2018

In a bid to become as close to a full-screen display as likely,Apple assumed the infamous notch on the iPhone X which housed the front facing camera and Face ID sensors. Taking note from Apple’s design choice, a number of Android producers also jumped on the notch bandwagon, adding notches of dissimilar shapes and sizes to their devices in order to get a closely bezel-less display.Not being a enormous fan of the notch, I was willing to see some Android manufacturers come out with creative solutions to house the front facing camera, earpiece and sensors to attain a completely bezel-less display. The race to achieve a completely bezel-less display familiarized a new breed of smartphones with pop-up cameras and brought back the slider design of yesteryear. Here, we’ll be taking a appearance at the best phones with pop-up cameras and sliders that were released in 2018:

Smartphones with Pop-up Cameras and Sliders

Price: Rs. 44,990

1. Oppo Find X

In a bid to one-up Vivo’s pop-up camera module on the VivoNEX, Chinese smartphone giant Oppo launched the Oppo Find X – a smartphone inwhich together the forward-facing and rear camera modules are exposed by amotorized pop-up mechanism. Thanks to the mechanism, the smartphone features analmost bezel-less design with a smooth curved glass build, with all its sensorshidden on the slide-out tray. Unlike the Vivo NEX, the Oppo Find X alsofeatures a facial gratitude feature for face unlock abilities which also triggersthe motorized slider as soon as the device is turned on.

The Oppo Find X, though, doesn’t feature an in-display fingerprint scanner like the Vivo NEX. In fact, it doesn’t feature a fingerprint sensor at all, relying totally on its face unlock feature for biometric security. Since the Oppo Find X packs in a greater motorized section, it doesn’t feel as solid as the Vivo NEX, but the mechanism does look a bit more premium and well thought out. On top of that, the fact that the slider opens up each time you try to unlock the device raises some concern regarding the toughness and longevity of the smartphone.

Oppo Find X specifications: Snapdragon 845, 8GB RAM, up to 512GB storing, 6.42-inch AMOLED display, 16MP+20MP primary double camera arrangement, 25MP selfie shooter, 3,730mAh battery, ColorOS 5.1 based on Android 8.1 Oreo

Price: Starts at Rs. 59,990

2. Vivo NEX

Let’s kick off the list with the smartphone that is, in part, accountable for making pop-up cameras a trend, the Vivo NEX. A flagship device from Chinese smartphone producer Vivo, the Vivo NEX took the bezel-less concept to a entire new level by ditching the notch for a pop-up mechanism that housed the front facing camera. The pop-up camera element on the Vivo NEX has been intended to pop-up on its own as soon as you change to the front facing camera and it hides back confidential the top edge of the device when the forward-facing camera is closed.

Since there isn’t any apartment for the front facing sensors on the pop-up module, vivo gracefully tucked them within the minimal top bezel,while assuming a piezo-electric sound system to replace the earpiece. For the price, the Vivo NEX brought a number of advanced features to the market, making it a compelling option for those who were watching for a flagship device with a bezel-less display and no notch. It even housed an in-display fingerprint sensor, a skill that has now become a bit more normal with the launch of the OnePlus 6T.

Vivo NEX specifications: Snapdragon 845, 8GB RAM, 128GB storage, 6.59-inch Super AMOLED display, 12MP+5MP primary dual camera arrangement, 8MP pop-up selfie shooter, 4,000mAh battery, Funtouch OS based on Android 8.1 Oreo

3. Xiaomi Mi Mix 3

Compared to the Vivo NEX and the Oppo Find X, both of which rely on motorized pop-up designs, Xiaomi’s Mi Mix 3 resurrects the manual slider mechanism that was all the rage back in the day and does a countless job of it.The smartphone’s slider mechanism gracefully hides the front facing camera and sensors behind the big bezel-less display and it feels stronger and more satisfying to use than the aforesaid smartphones. For the earphone, the Mi Mix3 has a very ingenious solution – a simple cutout that lets the sound permit through from the actual earpiece filled within the sliding mechanism.

The device also doesn’t comprise an in-display fingerprint scanner, but gratefully retains a traditional capacitive fingerprint scanner which is placed on the back. Turning on the front-facing camera on the Mi Mix 3 is as modest as sliding the screen down which reveals the camera module and turns on the camera app. Being a fan of slider phones in the past,  for myself like Xiaomi’s design a whole lot more than the Vivo NEX and the Oppo Find X.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 specifications: Snapdragon 845, up to 10GB RAM, up to 256GB storing, 6.39-inch Super AMOLED display, 12MP+12MP primary double camera system, 24MP+2MP dual selfie shooter, 3,200mAh battery, MIUI 10 based on Android 9.0 Pie

Price: Starts at Rs. 41,216

4. Honor Magic 2

Chinese smartphone manufacturer Huawei’s sub-brand Honor has also released a slider smartphone of its own – the Honor Magic 2 – which features a sliding mechanism much like that of the Xiaomi Mi Mix 3. Packing in flagship provisions, the Honor Magic 2 is also a excessive alternative if you’re in the market for a smartphone that is nearly all screen up front and doesn’t have an ugly notch.

The old school slider mechanism on the Honor Magic 2 tucks a striking triple camera arrangement behind the bezel-less display, along with the front facing sensors, the earpiece, and sensors for Honor’s 3D face gratitude technology for faster and more protected face unlock capabilities. Much like the Mi Mix 3, the Magic 2 also has a cut out for the earpiece right above the display, but the device doesn’t mechanically open up the front facing camera upon opening the slider.

Honor Magic 2 specifications: Kirin 980, up to 8GB RAM, up to 256GB storing, 6.39-inch AMOLED display, 16MP+16MP+24MP primary triple camera arrangement, 16MP+2MP+2MP triple selfie shooter, 3,500mAh battery, EMUI 9.0 based on Android 9.0 Pie

Price: Rs. 62,236

5. Lenovo Z5 Pro

The latest adding to the slider party, Lenovo’s Z5 Pro, is a bezel-less mid-ranger which aims to make the advanced sliding mechanism more available to a larger number of buyers. Much like the Mi Mix 3 and the Honor Magic 2, the Lenovo Z5 has a smooth sliding mechanism which hides the front facing camera and sensors behind the big display. The earpiece on the device is also located on the slider mechanism, with no noticeable cut out up front, so we can’t be sure if that will have an effect on the audio superiority.

The device also packs in an in-display fingerprint scanner which, the company claims, can unlock the device in just 0.2 seconds, making it slightly quicker than the fingerprint scanner on the OnePlus 6T which can unlock the device in 0.34 seconds. The Lenovo Z5, however, has a obvious chin at the lowest of the display, something which isn’t found on wither the Honor Magic 2 or the Mi Mix 3, but seeing the device’s price point, I believe that’s something most buyers would overlook.

Lenovo Z5 Pro specifications: Snapdragon 710, 6GB RAM, up to 128GB storing, 6.39-inch Super AMOLED display, 16MP+24MP primary dual camera arrangement, 16MP+8MP dual selfie shooter, 3,350mAh battery, ZUI 10 based on Android 8.1 Oreo

Price: Starts at 1,998 Yuan (~Rs. 20,400)

Best Phones with Pop-up Cameras and Sliders in 2018

Well, that rounds up our list of the top phones with pop-up cameras and sliders that were released this year. Other than the aforementioned options, there are a pair of smartphones from relatively obscure Chinese brands that have also accepted a pop-up or slider design. The Elephone U2, Elephone U2 Pro, the Elephone PX and the Doogee Mix 4 (concept) are some notable choices that you can take a glance at, but don’t imagine anything spectacular from these phones.
