To recap, the vivo NEX gets a larger 6.59″ AMOLED display that pushes a 2316×1080 pixels resolution. Under the hood, it runs on a Snapdragon 845 processor that’s mated to 8GB of RAM. Over at the rear, it gets a 12MP f/1.8 + 5MP f/2.4 dual-camera setup with 4-axis OIS. Meanwhile, the front gets an 8MP f/2.0 selfie camera which is hidden in a pop-up module. According to vivo, the selfie camera pops-up in just 1 second and it has been tested to withstand over 50,000 uses without failure.
