vivo NEX S is a toned-down version with Snapdragon 710, TENAA report confirms

Ro, 01 June 2018

Just the other day, the vivo NEX appeared on Geekbench with Snapdragon 710 contradicting the early reports and specs by vivo that listed the device with Snapdragon 845. This means only one thing, the vivo NEX will actually be a family of two devices - with SD845 and SD710.

Thanks to the latest report from TENAA, we now know that the Snapdragon 710-powered variant will be named NEX S and will support dual-SIM. This would be a great compromise for people, who want to own the nearly bezel-free smartphone with super-cool selfie periscope, yet don't want to spend more than $1,000 on it.

All will be revealed on June 12 when the company will officially announce the phones.

I really like this selfie camera. I like it can hide anything included the dust!

Beter a notch. No mechanical part. And that place of the screen is wasted anyhow. Notch + no bottom bezel (like Apple's) is the best. Only bad w Apple is the humongus side bezels. If they shave them off too you get the perfect design for current...
