NEX
The true all-screen pioneer with an elevating pop-up camera.
The Vivo NEX is a flagship Vivo smartphone released Jun 2018, with a launch price of $620. It pairs the Snapdragon 845 with a 6.59" FHD+ Super AMOLED, 91.2% screen display, a 12 MP + 5 MP dual main camera and a 4000 mAh, 22W battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 78/100 — The all-screen original. Standout strengths: first true all-screen design via elevating pop-up and screen soundcasting replaced the earpiece. Main trade-off: mechanical pop-up durability questions.
The all-screen original.
Vivo NEX pioneered the elevating pop-up selfie camera and Screen SoundCasting (vibrating the display as an earpiece), achieving a notchless 91% screen-to-body ratio in 2018. It was the boldest answer to the all-screen problem of its era.
