In one more attempt to loop the loop, Living made official su NEX 2, also known as the phone with two screens. And it is that as we already anticipated in a previous leak, the smartphone of the Chinese house has two panels, one on each side, in addition to coming with a really complete specification sheet. Let's get to know it in detail.
Live NEX 2: main features
Alive is earning its name that we name it most original manufacturer of the year. The Chinese firm showed us at the past CES 2018 in Las Vegas the first phone with a fingerprint reader integrated into the screen; He surprised everyone at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona with a smartphone with a retractable camera; and now it is launching nothing less than a phone with two full-color screens -although it should be remembered that the Nubia X (also with an extra rear OLED panel, somewhat smaller) has been ahead of it by more than a month.
This time, yes, the thing does not take us so by surprise. The team had already been filtered out before and until shown openly by the firm itself, so we had already gotten used to the idea of this phone, which proposes to have two OLED panels, one on each side of its body. In the case of the main screen, we are talking about a size of 6,3 inches with a resolution of 2.340 x 1.080 pixels, while the secondary, of 5,5 inches, crop a bit to 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Inside the phone we find the latest Qualcomm processor (available, of course), a Snapdragon 845, paired with 128GB of storage and no less than 10 GB of RAM. It is not, like other times, a "top" option within the terminal's purchase possibilities: directly the basic configuration of the equipment comes with such a shot of RAM (and with the mentioned internal capacity). The battery is 3.500 mAh, perhaps a little short for such a technical display, but it will have to be tested to find out for sure.
Regarding its photographic capabilities, this NEX 2 has a triple camera system located on the face of the smaller screen. So, on the one hand, you have two 12-megapixel sensors and then a third that is a 3D TOF module, based on a system of face recognition (and objects) to unlock the phone that Vivo describes as better than Apple's Face ID and also doubles as a selfie camera - the kicker here is that the screen acts as a viewfinder.
Vivo's idea is that having two screens serve as tool to multiply the possibilities of the phone. If not, look at the promotional image that you have on these lines. In it you can see how a person plays with the phone while using the rear screen as additional buttons on an improvised virtual controller. Likewise, through the two screens it is possible to access all the menus and screens of the system, which by the way is Android 9 Pie.
Vivo NEX 2 price and availability
El Vivo NEX 2, that our colleagues Movilzone confirm that it is also known as Vivo NEX Dual Display Edition, will go on sale in China next December 29, for a price of 4.998 yuan (about $640 To the change). It will be available in blue and burgundy colors.
As for its availability in Spain, it is a mystery at the moment.
