RICHARD LAI: Another day,
another all-screen smartphone

2
00:00:02,310 --> 00:00:03,570
coming out of China.

3
00:00:03,570 --> 00:00:06,090
Today, I'm here in Shanghai
to check out the Vivo

4
00:00:06,090 --> 00:00:08,370
NEX Dual Display Edition.

5
00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:12,670
And, yes, as you can tell from
the name, it has two screens.

6
00:00:12,670 --> 00:00:13,470
Ta-da.

7
00:00:13,470 --> 00:00:19,910


8
00:00:19,910 --> 00:00:21,950
Now the whole point of
having a dual-screen design

9
00:00:21,950 --> 00:00:24,500
is that rather than
using a pop-up camera,

10
00:00:24,500 --> 00:00:27,470
this time we're using just
the main camera on the back.

11
00:00:27,470 --> 00:00:29,570
So when you're taking
selfies, you'll be looking

12
00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:31,130
at the back screen here.

13
00:00:31,130 --> 00:00:33,860
And that way, you get to keep
this best free, notch-free

14
00:00:33,860 --> 00:00:35,650
screen on the other side.

15
00:00:35,650 --> 00:00:37,340
Now Vivo has actually
taken it one step further

16
00:00:37,340 --> 00:00:39,200
by offering a mirror mode.

17
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,480
So say you're taking
a photo of someone

18
00:00:41,480 --> 00:00:44,240
and the subject behind the
camera is able to see him

19
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:45,750
or herself on the fly.

20
00:00:45,750 --> 00:00:48,620
And then therefore they can
make adjustments where needed.

21
00:00:48,620 --> 00:00:52,010
Another cool feature Vivo's
added here is the lunar ring.

22
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:55,850
As you can see here, it offers
a softer light for selfies,

23
00:00:55,850 --> 00:00:57,750
but you do get the
traditional LED

24
00:00:57,750 --> 00:01:00,140
flash here if you want to
take conventional photos

25
00:01:00,140 --> 00:01:01,280
in the dark.

26
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,190
Speaking of which, you
have a 12 megapixel camera

27
00:01:04,190 --> 00:01:07,580
here assisted by a two
megapixel depth-sensing camera

28
00:01:07,580 --> 00:01:09,040
for your shots.

29
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:10,580
And actually on
the far right here

30
00:01:10,580 --> 00:01:12,440
is a time of flight
camera, which

31
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,330
is essentially a 3D scanner.

32
00:01:14,330 --> 00:01:16,730
So here it offers better
face unlock as well

33
00:01:16,730 --> 00:01:18,597
as better beautification modes.

34
00:01:18,597 --> 00:01:19,730
The rest of the
phone is very much

35
00:01:19,730 --> 00:01:21,250
what you'd expect
from a standard flash

36
00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:23,240
these days-- save
for the fact that it

37
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,120
comes with a whopping
10 gigabytes of RAM.

38
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,240
On top of that, you have
a Snapdragon A45 chipset,

39
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,250
128 gigabytes of storage.

40
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:34,380
There's a 6.49-inch display
on the front and a 5.49-inch

41
00:01:34,380 --> 00:01:36,590
display on the back, both
being super Alumalite

42
00:01:36,590 --> 00:01:39,130
panels with a 1080p resolution.

43
00:01:39,130 --> 00:01:41,090
The phone itself feels
pretty nice and solid.

44
00:01:41,090 --> 00:01:44,210
It's obviously a glass,
metal, glass kind of sandwich.

45
00:01:44,210 --> 00:01:46,340
So you obviously don't
want to be dropping this.

46
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:49,400
But so far, it feels
quite nice in my hand.

47
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:51,960
It doesn't feel as heavy
as I thought it would be.

48
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,110
And the size is just right.

49
00:01:54,110 --> 00:01:56,000
Unfortunately, we don't
have any information

50
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,640
about its global rollout,
but it will be available

51
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,200
in China very, very soon.

52
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:02,480
So stay tuned on
Engadget.com for its price

53
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,020
and further information.
