The second model will have mostly the similar specs as that of the previous version, other than the storage space of 128 GB internal storage. The last variant, which will be called as Vivo NEX A, will be powered by the newcomer Qualcomm Snapdragon 710, and 6GB of RAM, plus128GB of internal storage. All three models will run on a 4,000 mAh battery.

Vivo NEX S will also be available in multiple color variants like Diamond Black as well as Ruby Red. The first model with 8GB RAM will cost around 4,998 Yuan, which comes to Rs 52,669, while the intermediate-range phone will cost around 4,498 Yuan which is about Rs 47,400. While the cheapest model will cost 3,898 Yuan, this comes to about Rs 41,000. The prices may change when the Smartphone releases in India.

Talking about the other specifications of the Vivo NEX S, it is rumored to come along with Android Oreo 8.1 and an original UI.  There are some key elements of the Nex S design. The phone is packed with an all-display screen and is one of the best bezel less display phones yet to be launched in recent times. The fingerprint symbols on the display screen most likely point that the device will showcase a fingerprint sensor within the display.

The Vivo NEX S will be packed with a huge 6.59-inch Super AMOLED Ultra FullView “Zero Screen” Display with a screen to body ratio of 91 percent and about 2,316 x 1,080 pixels screen resolution. The receiving speaker within the phone will come with an integrated screen, a design courtesy of The Screen SoundCasting Technology. The full-screen display will also showcase an under display fingerprint reader. On the reverse side, a dual camera setup will also be present consisting of 12 MP cameras, the primary camera being a Sony IMX363 with f/1.8 aperture, 1.4 μm pixels and optical image stabilization along with a 5 MP secondary camera.

From the back, the Vivo Nex S will sport a dual-rear camera with LED flash on the top-right corner, Nex branding in the middle, and Vivo name at the bottom. The power button and volume rocker can be spotted on the right edge of the phone. Interestingly, there is another button on the left edge, which we are not sure of what it does as of now. All in all, it is safe to say that the Nex S will be a game changer in this segment.
