The Vivo NEX lineup has been averse to notches from the very beginning and found the pop-up selfie camera to be the perfect solution for the same. Well, the company is still following the same ideals and taking things a ‘notch’ further with the launch of the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition.
This new variant of the Vivo NEX comes only in a single 10GB+128GB configuration and has been priced at 4,998 yuan, which roughly translates to Rs 52,000. It comes in 2 different colors, namely Polar Blue and Nebula Purple.
The Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition comes as a significant step up over its predecessor, so let’s take a look at what all it has to offer:
- Dual Displays
As the name already implies, this device has taken the Nubia route to steer clear of not only the notch but also the mechanical camera with the inclusion of two displays.

Triple Cameras
Moving on the camera department, you can already tell that there’s no selfie camera on board and only a three sensor array on the rear – which when coupled with the rear display will fulfill the duties of a selfie camera as well. There’s a 12MP dual-pixel primary sensor (with 4-axis OIS), backed by a 2-MP secondary sensor (night video camera), and time of flight (TOF) 3D module available on here.
- Lunar Ring
Another highlight of the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is the much-rumored lunar ring. It combines 16 hidden RGB LED lights and soft light to brighten up portrait shots and use the diffusion lighting effect (circular ring light) of the Lunar Ring.

Finally, the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition is powered by the Snapdragon 845 chipset and features 10GB RAM (following along the OnePlus 6T McLaren, Mi Mix 3, and several other recently launched phones) and 128GB of internal storage. The device runs FunTouch OS 4.5 and packs a modest 3,500mAh battery.
There’s a fifth-gen in-display fingerprint sensor (developed in partnership with Qualcomm) on board and Vivo boasts of unlocking speed of about 0.29 seconds, which is faster than OnePlus 6T. To sum everything up, you can check out the complete specs of the Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition right here:
