Upcoming vivo NEX might cost over $1000

29 May 2018
The phone with SD845 could cost CNY6,998 ($1100), a version with SD710 and without the periscope cam should be “just” CNY4,998 ($780).

Sushant Sic, 30 May 2018Dear Vivo, We all really appreciate for the Innovation ... moreA company comes up with new innovations like In-display fingerprint scanner and almost bezelless display and you think $1000 is overpriced. They spend money on Research and Development to come up with new technologies. But if Apple ever made an iPhone like this, people would be willing to spend $1500 dollars on that phone.

    I love the originality of the design, it's been so long since Essential PH-1 (ultra premium materials and the smallest notch). But mind you, this phone is more of an OPEN BETA allscreen phone so it deserves to cost this much.

    The manufacturing cost of a screen that touches the frame (bezelless), Underscreen Fingerprint scanner on the bottom half of the entire screen, the internals and the movable parts could be more staggering than the iPhone X which cost around $370; This one would cost $500 to make.

      Geric.770, 30 May 2018$1000 or more for a Chinese phone. No thank you, Vivo!All phones are made in china u douchebag

      In some way a China brand that also produce in china is more authentic
      than an american or korean brand that produce in china too.

            Too much chance of failure... Unless they price it like $450.

              garret, 30 May 2018yea lets pay a 1000$ for the iphone thats made in china!Man guess what?
              Foxconn is largest mobile phone manufacturing factory in the world.
              And guess what again?
              Most of the mobile phones are made there. Nokia, Apple like 30% of total Samsung devices and many more.
              This is just for your information they making like 40% of total electronic worldwide.

                They are brands but with a lot of issues.
                A6 struggling after update NOTE 7 were dissaster.
                IOS is laggy and buggy and iphones are way too much costly compared to manufacturers price. Just Apple X cost 379 to make but sells for 1350 thats not very nice.
                These companies just robs innocent people.

                    AnonD-762416, 29 May 2018No headphone jack? D: There's room for a retractable camer... moreBecause phones with jack are old history.
                    Modern phones will have no jacks.
                    Like when cassete has been overtaken by Cd then DVD and then blue ray discs
                    This is the same. Jack no jack wireless

                      You have to understand Under Display fingerprint sensor is expensive to manufacture so don't expect the phone to be cheap just coz it's a Chinese company. Try to think and understand first before criticising. Trolls.

                          780$ for a none camera version and SD710 is a joke too :D
                          Who will ever buy them if you get them SD845 phones for under 600 euro.

                            Looks gorgeous and overall finally there's something original, not like every other phone on the market. Yet still I wouldn't spend this much money on any phone, and I don't care if it's Apple, Samsung or Vivo.

On the contrary, the concept version of this phone had audio jack on the bottom, together with USB-C and something that reminded of stereo speakers.

                                Dear Vivo,

                                We all really appreciate for the Innovation of APEX...

                                However, please understand that you are still not such Brand like Apple or Samsung that you are asking for 1000$+ for this Phone...

                                Even I bet if OnePlus croses 700$ mark (for highest variant) No one gonna buy it for sure...

                                  It means no face unlock or wait till the camera is out. It's very nice concept but in real world it might not be the true answer for bezel less design. Also, it cannot be IP certified because of the POP OUT camera.

                                  Maybe 2nd Generation will sort out all the questions and problems.

                                  Very nice try by Vivo. All the best :)

                                    They could have easily marketed NEX as the Mythical OPPO Find9

                                      $1000 or more for a Chinese phone. No thank you, Vivo!

                                        $1000 with no update hahaha
