After so many leaks and rumours, Vivo NEX has finally launched in Shanghai. The Vivo NEX is the final version of the prototype concept phone which was shown at MWC. Vivo has launched two smartphones NEX S and the NEX A and both ditches the notch in favour of a pop-up camera. Not only that these are the first devices which claim to offer 91.2% screen-to-body ratio.
Vivo NEX S is the flagship device with Snapdragon 845, on the other hand, the Vivo NEX A is powered by the Snapdragon 710 which we have seen in Xiaomi Mi 8SE.

In terms of camera, both the Vivo NEX sport dual 12MP (Sony IMX363) + 5MP cameras at the back and the primary 12MP sensor also feature 4-axis OIS and a lens of aperture f/1.8. On the front, there is pop up selfie snapper on both models which has an 8MP sensor. The smartphone is backed up by a 4,000mAh battery and runs Android 8.1 Oreo-with Funtouch OS 4.0 UI on top.
