Vivo launched the company’s latest Vivo NEX smartphone in India. It sports a 6.59-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED screen with ultra-narrow bezels with 91.24 screen-to-body ratio and Screen Sound Casting Technology. It is powered by Snapdragon 845 and runs on Android 8.1 (Oreo) with Jovi AI and Funtouch OS 4.0. It has third-generation in-display fingerprint sensor feature. The company says that this technology is smaller, and more powerful offering 50% better accuracy and the unlocking speed is increased by 10% compared to the predecessor. It has a metal frame and comes in Star Diamond Black color that uses holographic technology.
It has dual rear cameras, the primary is a 12 MP camera with Sony IMX363 sensor, 4-axis OIS, and the secondary is a 5 MP camera for AI portrait shots with auto scene detection. On the front side it has an 8 MP front camera that pop-up and automatically rises and hides when you open and close the camera app. This uses extremely precise micro-stepping motors, with independent drive ICs and precision control algorithms to precisely control this process, says Vivo.
