Vivo NEX Dual Display review: Two screens, one camera — selfies with the main shooter.
One camera, two screens.
NEX Dual Display solved the selfie-camera problem by adding a second rear screen — letting you shoot selfies with the superior main camera. An inventive dead-end that showed Vivo's willingness to experiment in the all-screen era.

- Selfies use the high-quality main camera
- No notch or pop-up needed — second screen instead
- Lunar Ring notification light is a neat touch
- Second screen drains the small battery
- Awkward two-handed selfie workflow
- Heavy and thick
