Vivo NEX
S smartphone was launched in June 2018. The phone comes with a 6.59-inch touch

More than anything, Vivo’s NEX S is a fascinating machine. From a distance, it seems like any other big-screened smartphone. Look more closely, though, and the ambition becomes strikingly clear. An in-display fingerprint sensor? A pop-up selfie camera? I was clear of one thing that this is no ordinary phone.

IT’s ALL SCREEN
BUT NOT BEZEL LESS
The best thing everyone notices about the NEX S is its screen -- it stretches almost completely across the phone's face without a notch in sight. Vivo went with a bright, punchy 6.59 inch complete AMOLED display, and it would take you hours to find another smartphone out there with a better screen-to-body ratio. The only one I can think of is Oppo's similarly ambitious Find X.

A DEEPER LOOK OF THE BEAUTY
Crafting a
phone with basically no bezels meant Vivo had to rethink how to lay out some
important components altogether. Just look at the phone's earpiece. Oh wait,
sorry, there isn't one. Instead, Vivo built a vibrating exciter beneath the
screen that basically turns the entire panel into a speaker.
CAMERA UN IMAGINED
And then there are the cameras. The phone's real claim to fame is the 8-megapixel selfie camera that
rises up from the top of the chassis .You'll find a dual camera system around
back that combines a 12- and a 5-megapixel sensor for bokeh-filled portraits.
Shots taken with the NEX's main camera were on the pleasant side of adequate,
but honestly, no one ever going to buy this thing because of that.
WHAT ELSE GOOD DOES OUR MAMMA HAS
Rather than squeeze a traditional fingerprint sensor on the NEX's
side or back, Vivo said to hell with it and stuck one underneath that big
display. We've seen these new sensors demoed pretty frequently in the recent
past, but this is one of the first in-display fingerprint sensors in a
commercially available smartphone.
It's easily the best one I've tried so far,
but that doesn't change the fact that the sensor is noticeably slower than the
traditional fare you'd find on say a Galaxy S9. This occasional sluggishness
was to be expected -- these sensors are very new, after all. There's no face
unlock here as a backup, either. With that pop-up camera it would take way too
long to be useful.
There's more. Despite the fact that this Vivo has top tier components like a Snapdragon 845 chipset, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, it doesn't feel nearly as fast as other phones I've tested this year. At this point, I can only blame Vivo's overwrought Funtouch OS. It's derived from Android 8.1 Oreo, but Vivo layered a ton of extra stuff on top. It's worth noting that Funtouch's interface also takes a lot of design cues from iOS, to the point where it's almost laughable. If you're going to build a phone this unique, wouldn't you want an interface that didn't feel like a laggy copycat of something else?
THE FINAL CONCLUSION
I don't mean to take anything away from Vivo by
saying these things -- on a technical level, the NEX S is a remarkable machine,
and it gives me hope that the brand will continue to break new ground. Vivo is
slowly expanding its global presence too but for now, though, you shouldn't
feel too bad, for me it's honestly one of those devices that are much more fun to
admire from a far than use every day.And what about you.Share your views about the device with me in the comment section below.And to know more or to ask any query just drop in for me at my facebook page NETWORK
