Lovely phone,needs Google Play Services.

    Very good numbers for this phone. I am particularly surprised with the stellar battery life.

        But at the end of the day, Nex S is just another Chinese phone thats not worth a penny.

            Betting on vivo to get everything done well is irrational.
            While NEX S (which sounds like nexus) might lack in camera and other departments, it has managed to offer compelling features that lots of companies will try to offer next year. They're making everyone progress, and that's a good thing.

              A perfect phone with just 1 issue: Chinese language based features. Hope VIVO will release a GLOBAL ROM for this phone shortly so hat International users can also use the Funtouch OS at its full extent.

                I don't understand why Marketing Dept. lies about things that can easily be checked. 86% is not very high considering that Essential got 85% last year with a notch and chin.

                Battery life is phenomenal though.

                    Design over function? LOL

                    This review is a slap in the face of those that hate on Htc and Sony. This device does not have NFC, no HDR screen, no slot for micro sd. Screen has low ppi for its size and price, shouls be at least 410. Also too low brightness.
                    Camera is awful, as written there some parts are noisy while some parts of same pic have very agressive NR. Even Moto G6 does better.
                    Not able to focus well in low light even with dual pixel and OIS. Videos have lower bitrate than other flagships.

                    BBK phones are not worth. Except for ugly notch, OP6 is the least bad among them.

                      So. Great hardware and crappy software.
