vivo NEX Dual Display Edition hands-on review

11 December 2018
The vivo NEX Dual Display Edition teasing is over as the anticipated smartphone was finally unveiled at a special event in Shanghai. And for this flagship, the maker has ditched the motorized popups and instead has solved the notch issue in a different way - with a full-fledged AMOLED screen at the back.

    Ritzie, 12 Dec 2018Your countdown was late. Somebody already complained about... moreHAHAHAH Why I am not surprised! this is amusing~!

      EzRock, 13 Dec 2018what exactly is the use of this dual screen?The purpose is to eliminate the front facing camera, without the use of pop-up or slider functino, to make the main side of the phone all screen. Then on the back there is a secondary screen for selfie and video chat/call/conference.

        what exactly is the use of this dual screen?

          Ugh these people. So funny that whenever someone innovates something, there will always be bashers. Probably these losers are fanboys from other smartphone makers.
          The secondary screen idea is pretty good actually, it may finally end the stupid notch and hole thing in our smartphone displays and we can now finally have a true full screen experience.

                Want full screen at the back also :P

                  Anonymous, 12 Dec 2018the back display feels like a gimmick for me, and an additi... moreGimmick? I think it's a great innovation for a common problem. True all screen front display with a kick butt selfie cam set-up on the back.
                  To me a gimmick is face unlock, turbo graphics mode or whatever it's called, super duper fast charging times... The second screen is way more practical and cool for what I would use it for.

                  Vivo nailed it with this phone, aside from that weird ring intruding on the rear display but maybe for notification purposes it will be handy.
                  9/10 for this phone.

                              The bezels are still there especially the chin which so what is the point? It's certainly not to avoid having the screen bezelless and not having a camera on front.

                                But there is a small chin on the front.. so not completely screen on the front as GSMArena writes..
