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.

ME, 11 Dec 2018Why would I need a dual display if I have only 2 eyes?They added that 2nd screen to annoy you. Someone informed them of your existence.
Poor you, some OEM got in for you.

    the back display feels like a gimmick for me, and an additional useless cost.

      Kiyasuriin, 12 Dec 2018Complaints about back bezels in 3... 2... 1....Your countdown was late.
      Somebody already complained about the chin of the back display an hour before your post.

            ... but why?

              Complaints about back bezels in 3... 2... 1....

                That chin :-(

                  Is that cover surrounding the phone?
                  Or it is natively that way?

                    Samsung Display will be really proud of their Super AMOLED.

                      Earlier people said that vivo is copycat. But from last two year they are doing mind blowing and innovative design.
                      Really appericable approach.

                        Overall Good Phone... But still many will not consider it due to its OS... FunTouch OS :|

                            ME, 11 Dec 2018Why would I need a dual display if I have only 2 eyes?One for each display, obviously -_-

                              Who needs secondary screen in a phone? It surely costs more. Sometimes, overrated manufacturer like Vivo really need to ask consumers on what do we really need in a smartphone, not adding unnecessary things like secondary screen whatsoever. Battery life and powerful chipset are more important!

                                ME, 11 Dec 2018Why would I need a dual display if I have only 2 eyes?Imagine how good video calling quality would be with that rear camera and flash. Or selfies if your into those. Much better than using a front facing cam with no flash.

                                  There's a lot to like about this phone. The Nubia X may have a better design, but this phone has the more practical dual-screen implementation. Also, both screens are AMOLED here, which makes it more premium as well.

                                  I look forward to read the full review. But I already give props to both Nubia & Vivo for these unorthodox phones. The smartphone industry badly needs a revolution.

                                    Its beautiful but imo Nubia X lookc better and can this one blend the screen with the back like Nubia X?

                                      Nubia X looks way nicer
