vivo NEX 5 may be closer than you think

It was March 2020 when the vivo NEX 3S was presented , but it seems that the time is ripe for the official presentation of the next vivo NEX 5 . The name is not certain yet, but vivo NEX 4 may not exist due to Chinese culture, according to which 4 is an unfortunate number. After a period of silence, the first rumors about the company's future flagship begin to flood.

We start talking about vivo NEX 5: everything we know

Design and display

Like all models in the series, we expect a lot from vivo NEX 5. Since its inception, NEX represents excellence in terms of aesthetics and technological research. The first series was equipped with a full screen and pop-up camera, the second with a second display on the back and the third again with a retractable camera. For this very reason, there is a good chance that the new vivo NEX could adopt the much-talked-about camera under the screen.

According to the first rumors, there are two versions that could differ precisely in this sense. We should have a basic variant equipped with a punch-hole to accommodate the selfie camera, a design that is now widely tested, while the top variant would have the selfie camera under the display . A novelty he has already been working on for years, as vivo APEX 2020 demonstrates : after the release of Xiaomi MIX 4 on the market , it could be the right opportunity to present a rival.

As for the display, rumors speak of a large 7 ″ 2K AMOLED screen , bringing back the concept of phablet. The dimensions would amount to 168.5 x 76.5 x 9.2 mm and a weight of 221 g, not the ideal choice for those looking for a fairly pocket-sized smartphone. The panel would be of Samsung E5 invoice, therefore we assume that it will take advantage of LTPO technology to have an adaptive refresh rate up to 120 Hz .

To these rumors are added those for the design, which as anticipated could certainly be innovative. A first live image would show us the back, highlighting the features of the photographic module. The colors would be three, namely Earth Gray, Sparkling Night Black and Clear Mountain Blue. This indiscretion on the colors leads us to new concept renderings, which imagine the NEX 5 a little different, with hybrid bumper with rectangular plate and porthole. To confirm the second hypothesis comes a new render, this time in white, which gives more and more credit to what we will see for this series.

Hardware

As the leaks rumored, vivo NEX 5 will be one of the first smartphones to equip itself with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 . Codenamed V2102A , the smartphone appeared in the certification and in the GeekBench database confirming these specifications. The SoC is manufactured at 4 nm and offers an ARMv9 octa-core CPU up to 3 GHz and an Adreno 730 GPU.

In combination we then have the memory: the cuts should be 8/256 , 12/256 and 12/512 GB . For the battery, perhaps a double cell at 5,000 mAh , it is rumored the use of fast charging at 80W , and not the 120W seen on the dozer iQOO 8 (now experimental series for vivo), and 60W wireless charging . On the software side, however, the presence of Android 12 and the latest version of the proprietary interface OriginOS Ocean is taken for granted.

Camera 

For the moment, not much is known about the photographic sector of vivo NEX 5, even if the camera phone series is the X series. Therefore we do not expect more advanced solutions than what we saw with vivo X70 Pro + . We will almost certainly find again the Carl Zeiss optics and T * lenses. To this, we will add a 5x ultra-periscope camera that will raise it to the top of the category in these terms.

Price and release date 

According to the leakster Digital Chat Station, vivo NEX 5 should have been released in early 2021, but the dissatisfaction on the upper floors would have led to postpone the release. It seems that the main reason is the camera below the display, which would not have met the very high multimedia requirements demanded in vivo. At this point, the company's plans would speak of early 2022. And the confirmation of these rumors comes from the words of the Executive Vice President of vivo, Hu Baishan, who stated that the new range will be made during the first half of 2022 . The reason, apparently, could be due to the efforts that the brand is making to release its first leaflet , which in any case will bear the word NEX in the name. In the last few hours, however, the rumors become more and more specific, indicating February 2022 as a favorable month to launch the series or in any case the smartphone in question.
