In the last month of 2018, various manufacturers explored the full screen and did not stop. The vivo NEX series is a series for the sake of exploration. On the Vivo NEX, we saw the first “true full screen” mobile phone with the lift camera. The newly released vivo NEX dual-screen version has further explored on the basis of the previous generation. From the name, we can see that this is a dual-screen mobile phone. Then let’s take a look at what new experience vivo brings to us.

Design & Appearance

Vivo NEX dual-screen version, as the name implies, has two screens. On the road of pursuing a higher screen ratio, the front camera becomes the biggest stumbling block, then vivo is a clever use of the rear camera to take self-portrait photos. The two-screen version of the vivo NEX with two screens is still quite powerful in design and color.

The front 6.39-inch display is also the main screen of the mobile phone. It is COF-packaged and has a frameless design. Without the obstruction of the front camera, the front is almost all screens, and the screen ratio is quite high. The resolution of 1080×2340 also makes this main screen display more delicate, supports DCI-P3 wide color gamut, and color reproduction is quite accurate.

With such a screen, we can have a more immersive audiovisual experience. The front of the Vivo NEX dual-screen version is almost what everyone expects. The front is full of screens when playing games, and there is better visual enjoyment when watching movies. The screen of 19:9 will have a bigger vision when playing games like “pubg” and “Asphalt”. When watching movies, it will have more visual impact.

The back of the Vivo NEX dual-screen version is a 5.49-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 1920×1080. The display is also very powerful. Not only that but the back of the phone in addition to the screen there are starring lights, three cameras, and other components. The top of the screen is connected to the starring light. When the starring light is on, the screen will also light up the ring and illuminate the RGB lights above.

Such a starring light will have corresponding lights in the context of music playback, charging, portrait taking, and the like. At the same time, the design of the starring also blocks the many openings in the back, which makes the back value more harmonious.

Since there is a dual screen, there is no need for dual-screen interaction for a long time. In the double-screen version of vivo NEX, dual-screen switching is much simpler. There is a power button on each side of the fuselage, which is the same as our usual use of mobile phones. No matter which screen is facing up, click the power button on the right to charge the current screen, and some dual-screen phones with only one power button More convenient than operation.

The mutual switching of the two screens is also very convenient. One method is to simultaneously press and hold the two power keys of the mobile phone, and the content displayed on the screen is sent to another screen for display. Another method is to slide the three fingers to the left (or right) at the same time, and the content displayed on the screen can also be sent to another screen. However, due to the different display ratios of the two screens, some software displays a change in screen size when it is displayed to the rear side screen.

The screen on the back also brings more interesting ways of playing, such as pictures, custom patterns, texts, and expressions on the screen, so that the phone can display its own personality. In addition, through the double-sided screen and small interactive function, the “Drawing Heart” function can be triggered by drawing a heart shape on the screen, and then the desired pattern text can be drawn on the screen and can be displayed on the back screen. The other “V mood” function is activated by drawing a “V” on the screen in the state of the screen. The back screen can display a custom mood animation. For example, Christmas is coming, and the back will show Christmas related. Animation.

When playing the game, the secondary screen on the back is not idle. For example, in the game of “eat chicken”, the secondary screen can be used as a “physical plug-in”. Two specific areas can be mapped as open or shot buttons. Use, easy to achieve four-finger operation. When playing the game on the front, if you flip the phone, the social media such as WeChat will be opened on the back screen of the phone, and the message can be quickly replied.

In addition, in the photo, the vivo NEX dual-screen version also has a new interactive program, which will be introduced to you in the following photo.

The dual screen also brings two unlocking schemes. The front screen adopts the screen fingerprinting scheme. The fifth-generation screen fingerprinting technology has made new upgrades in hardware and software. Under the blessing of DSP acceleration technology, the drilling angle is The unlocking is also easy. The unlocking of the back screen is realized by the face recognition of the TOF camera. Compared with other face unlocking schemes, the TOF can collect more facial information, unlock faster, identify more accurately, and be safer.

Vivo NEX dual-screen version of these two screens, one for high value, higher screen ratio, better display, bring more exciting video playback and gaming experience. The screen on the back is a combination of technology and art, through a new way of interaction, a variety of new ways to create new ideas. One side of technology, one side is wonderful, and the double-sided screen is played to the extreme.

Cameras

The dual-screen design means that the self-timer needs to use the rear camera and the rear secondary screen so that the quality of the camera will be greatly improved compared to the front camera of other products. The Vivo NEX dual-screen version uses a three-camera configuration. The main camera is the Sony IMX363, which has dual-core 12MP pixels (24MP photosensitive cells), and the other two are TOF cameras and night-time cameras.

Since the main camera is used for shooting, the self-timer effect is obviously superior to other products. With Europe’s new beauty algorithm, restore the most natural beauty, make new improvements in skin color, microdermabrasion, clarity and so on. The TOF camera can be used for 3D modeling of the face, and it is easy to adjust the facial appearance (shaved face, face-lift, thin nose, long nose, big eyes, eye distance, mouth shape, chin) to get the perfect selfie you want.

Not only self-timer to force, in the dual-screen hardware blessing, but vivo NEX dual-screen version also has more new features for taking pictures.
