Vivo Nex Dual Display

Like the Vivo Nex, the Vivo Nex Dual aims at a full-screen front for a phone. The first one achieved this by including a pop up mechanism for the front facing camera. On this version though, there is no front facing camera all together. Hence, the front of the phone is nothing but the main display. For a start, the Vivo Nex Dual measures in at 157.2 x 75.3 x 8.1 mm and weighs in at 199 grams. As the name suggests, it has two displays. The main display is a 6.3-inch Super AMOLED with Full HD+ resolution and interestingly, only a 84.7 % screen-to-body ratio. The second display is a 5.49 inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD resolution. The Nex Dual only comes in one color, which is the Polar Blue. There is no point to this though, there isn’t much space to be colored but the sides. A Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor with an Adreno 630 GPU for graphics powers both displays. The Nex Dual only comes in one configuration which is 128 GB ROM with 10 GB of RAM. The internal storage cannot be expanded as there is no memory card slot. The Vivo Nex Dual comes with a triple camera setup for its imaging department. The first camera is a 12 MP with OIS, the second is a 2 MP dept sensor camera and the last one is a TOF (time of light) camera, which does pretty much the same thing as the second one. These three cameras are also used as the front facing camera because; well there are two displays. This makes for quite a good selfie camera. They also support HDR and 4k video shooting at 30 frames per second. Unlike many flagships today, the Vivo Nex Dual retains its 3.5 mm jack for audio output. For unlocking the phone, there is an under-screen finger print scanner on the front facing display. It comes with Android 9.0 pre-installed and a 3500 mAh battery to power it all. It supports fast charging via its bottom USB Type-C port. However, there is no wireless charging due to the dual display. The Vivo Nex Dual is a good attempt to the full screen design but for some reason, the full screen design doesn’t even get close to some other models with a front facing camera. It does look cleaner without a notch or a larger bezel for cameras and sensors but the chin is large enough to take away that full screen design. Also, some may find this design interesting but there is really no need for two displays on a device. The main one is good enough for videos, games and other things that one may use it for leaving no use for the second display but to take photos and selfies. Also, the entire effort for a full screen design is gone to waste because, from the other side which some can also mistake for the main display, the bezels are just too big. For those reasons, the Vivo Nex Dual may not be the best buy but as a concept and aim to go full screen, it gives a vision. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 630: Integrated graphics card in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 SoC. According to Qualcomm 30% faster than the old Adreno 540 in the Snapdragon 835 with 30% less power consumption.

Qualcomm Adreno 640: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is intergrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 20% faster than the Adreno 630 in the Snapdragon 845 SoC and offers 50% more compute units (ALUs).

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

unknown:

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 650: Graphics chip for smartphones and tablets that is integrated within the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 SoC. Qualcomm claims that it is 25% faster than the Adreno 640 in the Snapdragon 855 SoC and offers 50% more compute units (ALUs). For Android it should be one of the fastest graphics cards in 2020.

Qualcomm Snapdragon:

SD 845: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in early 2018 and manufactured in 10 nm LPP FinFET at TSMC. Integrates 4x Kryo 385 cores (Cortex-A75) at up to 2.8 GHz (max) for performance and 4x Kryo 385 at 1.8 GHz (max) for efficiency. Furthermore offers an X20 LTE modem, ac-WiFi and a dual-channel 32-Bit 1866 MHz LPDDR4x memory controller.

SD 855+: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in 2019 and manufactured in 7 nm at TSMC. Integrates one “Prime Core” based on a modified ARM Cortex-A76 architecture clocked at up to 2.96 GHz. Three more performance cores are also based on the A76 but clock up to 2.42 GHz. Furthermore, four energy saving cores are integrated that are based on the ARM Cortex-A55 architecture and clock at up to 1.8 GHz. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a X24 LTE modem (up to 2 Gigbit download), a new Wi-Fi modem (Wi-Fi 6 ready, 60 GHz mmWave), Hexagon 690 DSP with new Tensor cores for AI processing, a Spectra 380 ISP with an integrated computer vision engine and an integrated LPDDR4x memory controller. Compared to the normal Snapdragon 855, the 855 Plus offers higher clock speeds of the GPU and CPU.

SD 865: High-end SoC for smartphones that was introduced in late 2019 and manufactured in 7 nm at TSMC (improved N7P). Integrates one “Prime Core” based on a ARM Cortex-A77 architecture clocked at up to 2.84 GHz. Three more performance cores are also based on the A77 but clock up to 2.42 GHz. Furthermore, four energy saving cores are integrated that are based on the ARM Cortex-A55 architecture and clock at up to 1.8 GHz. In addition to the processor cores, the SoC integrates a WiFi 6 modem (including 60 GHz mmWave support), a Hexagon 698 DSP (up to 15 TOPS) and a Spectra 480 ISP. The integrated memory controller now supports faster LPDDR5 memory with up to 2,750 MHz. LTE is not included anymore in the SoC, but the external Snapdragon X55 5G modem has to be used.

78.23%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
