Nice review, but it should be in Chinese for Chinese readers. No Google Play Services, no go for non Chinese speakers. I mean, what is the point? It is sad that English speaking residents in China are not able to buy any Chinese brand phone with preinstalled Google Play Services. I understand gov fear of likes of Facebook and VPN

    How many times can the hidden camera popup? Can Vivo claim the durability with advertisement?

      Kiyasuriin, 21 Jun 2018I see. Most Manufacturers usually use a perfect rectangular... moreYes exactly! There seems to be much room for manufacturers to skew or exaggerate the screen-to-body ratio. What a new term we have haha.

      The first time I read "screen-to-body ratio" was an article about a Sony Xperia Z series. They sure haven't kept up their end on the trend.

      I would think a photo of any phone straight on, and some software, could literally count the pixels and determine stb, if a developer ever felt motivated to make a stb calculator. Would be cool and less of a guessing game.

                        That will be an interesting article :)

Most Manufacturers usually use a perfect rectangular AND DON'T count notches or edge parts, this way they can advertise it's actually higher than it really is, and the bezelophobs are immidiately impressed.
                          (A bezelophobia is a fear from bezels)

                            Kiyasuriin, 20 Jun 2018It's very Easy. The formula for calculating bezels is very ... moreYes I know how to calculate area. Thanks! What I meant was... how are manufacturers vs reviewers calculating the area for a notch, or maybe they don't for stb... what if the phone body has rounded corners but the screen is a perfect rectangle - or vice versa... if the phone has curved edges who decides what's part of the face itself. Those kinds of details are up for interpretation.

                                      Yes Oppo is more refined and elegant in design and mechanism. However they've made a mistake in not including fps and headphone jack vs the Nex. The novelty of a slide mechanism is cool but u don't want to over rely on it ie unlocking etc for practicality purposes. So the Nex is more consumer ready imo.
