Quick answer

The Vivo NEX Dual Display is a flagship Vivo smartphone released Dec 2018, with a launch price of $730. It pairs the Snapdragon 845 with a 6.39" FHD+ Super AMOLED display, a 12 MP + 2 MP + ToF (shared front/rear) main camera and a 3500 mAh, 22W battery. In SpecEagle's editorial review it scores 76/100 — One camera, two screens. Standout strengths: selfies use the high-quality main camera and no notch or pop-up needed — second screen instead. Main trade-off: second screen drains the small battery.

AI Snapshot

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.
