Vivo Nex with pop-out selfie camera launched in India: Price, full specifications

Even as rival smartphones go for the iPhone X-inspired notch display, companies like Vivo and Oppo are trying to top the trend with near-bezelless phones. Shortly after Oppo came up with the full-screen Find X, Vivo also launched a smartphone with similar display specifications on Thursday. Priced at ₹44,990, Vivo Nex will be available from July 21 via Amazon.in and Vivo.com.

Vivo Nex has to made some sacrifices to give the screen more real estate. For instance, it has a motorised pop-up selfie camera that is tucked into the top edge. Instead of having a dedicated slot, the fingerprint scanner is embedded in the screen. This technology is the first of its kind, considering that both Apple and Samsung were rumoured to be including it into their flagship phones.

It comes with 128GB built-in storage.
