vivo NEX Dual Display review

14 January 2019
The NEX Dual Display is nothing short of original, yet still surprisingly easy to understand on a conceptual level. In more ways than one, it is the sum of vivo's pre-existing efforts in coining a fresh new and more functional mobile design. One that clearly stems from the desire to maximise screen real estate and solve the selfie camera and sensor issue in a more elegant, notch-free manner.

      that s a moronic design, the "old" vivo nex is better, more battery, better solution to notch, and now is 500 dollars or less, so dont buy this dumb phone!

You can map controls to the back of the phone, for easier one-handed use (and not having to block your vision interacting with front of phone. This is great if you are trying to use the phone as a gamepad or a remote control for a project (i.e. drone). This also means you only need realistically one powerful camera, and you don't have to add a selfie cam for people who don't care.

        Normally I'm one to laugh at most new designs as they build phones for the general population, and I think the general population is a little dense when it comes to technology. That being said, I think this is an interesting device with some real-world use.

        Also, if you want to make Android phones in a growing market like China, you either think very far outside the box, or you clone.

          This writer really likes the word "exuberant", I presume

            It turned out better than i expected. I was expecting a mediocre battery endurance but reality is quite better. It obviously has it's downsides (camera, software, etc), but most of the hardware & design is well done. I think it's good overall.

              So instead of a small cut out on the front you pay for a complete extra display on the back.. a complete waste of resources. Just insane. And also you need to flip the phone to take a selfie. Really clever.
