Alongside the full fledged Vernee Apollo model there is going to be the slightly watered down Lite version, but so far not much exact information had been released about it.

But what we know something about is the battery, which is going to pack 3180 mAh capacity with the Pump Express 3.0 support. That should offer charging from 0 to 75 percent in just 30 minutes. Apollo Lite’s body should be with full metal build with brushed metal design and chamfered edges.

Other alleged specs include 5,5-inch FullHD display, Mediatek Helio X20 processor, 4 GB RAM and 32 GB of storage. Main rear camera is going to feature 16 Mpix sensor and the front one 5 Mpix one. The phone shouldn’t be missing also USB type-C connector, dual SIM hybrid slot and pre-installed Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

it shows just how hard some of these manufacturers are pushing it, when the ‘lite’ version pretty much equals or exceeds current big name flagships in many aspects.

the quick charge is very important to big screen now, it’s a nice shot to Vernee Apollo Lite to support this. want to know how’s the performance of the charging speed of it.

  Quick charge makes me care less and less about battery size.

  it depends,my friend, it’s not convenient when you are in travel. i prefer a big battery phone because it’s easy to me to to forget get my phone charged when i focus on working mostly

  As long as my phone can last me a full day on the battery I am good. i don’t need anymore than that

They’re going hard mode into marketing, but I wonder if we’ll get to see any of those apollos anytime soon or if they’ll delay until winter (it looks like we won’t see any x20 from smaller companies before the end of summer anyway)
- Liisess
  April 22, 2016
  don’t be so upset to these brands,man,
  you have no idea how many powerful smartphone manufactures in China, newly founded brands not mean small companies all the time, hope we are lucky ,haha

  Don’t get me wrong: I’m not upset at all, my own was a legit (rhetorical) question!

  I think the X20 will be a lot closer to the X10, We’ll start to see the smaller brands release X20 phones toward the middle to end of the year.

  sorry if i was wrong to this 🙂

Vernee publicity 6GB RAM it? A lie can not continue? Because the X20 does not support 6GB RAM. And Vernee as a mobile phone manufacturing company, Vernee even propaganda so ridiculous things, so that every news Vernee have to see is false, even doubt their products. Aha!
Vernee loyal fans Tonly Where is it?Aha Aha!

  come on, Ulefone big fan Maksim, you appear in each article of Vernee. it’s also a ridiculous job you do. Oh, you should give me a hug that i spell it right of your name.

  And to make it look better he also liked his own post . Your comments look way more credible now…
  You were explained several times how easy it is to make it work with 6GB of RAM. Will you bark it all back when they release it?
  We’re no Vernee fans – we’re just opposing to paid internet trolling.
- balcobomber25
  April 22, 2016
  Your continued hounding on this is getting old. As Multiple people have pointed out to you, including Steve B below, the Thor and Apollo were both launch devices for Mediatek. Meaning they worked with Mediatek on those phones.

Some retailers already listed it at 229 usd..
It would be much better choice over ulefone future..
- balcobomber25
  April 22, 2016
  It would be a better choice than a lot of phones at that price. Just need to wait for some reviews of this brand.
- Assefa Hanson
  April 22, 2016
  which retailer? what i thik bit ulefone in the bum is the bezel-less display which is expensive to make and the future taking some time to release now cheaper better chipped phones exists, only thing that might give this to ulefone is they are a more established brand relative to vernee but even so they arent super great
- tauerman
  April 22, 2016
  on giztop you can preorder it for 199 USD
- Assefa Hanson
  April 22, 2016
  ok thanks
- metalboyz
  April 23, 2016
  What expensive bezel-less?
  If you want bezel-less, you can buy sharp aquos crystal for under 150usd right now.
- Assefa Hanson
  April 23, 2016
  the screen itself is expensive, not taking into acount the overall phone, look at this way a highend soc is 60$ which is not alot of money on its own, argueably BUT the cost for a bezel-less screen ALONE in it self is still expensive lets say a regular screen is 5$ bezel-less would be 15$

  Hi.. Where to buy under150?

  Yeah man: Seems giz won us over and now it can relax and forget why we fell in love with it.
  Seems this has become a news site and not a gadget enthusiasts site. LOL

This makes me more excited to get my Thor and test this brand out. Hopefully they aren’t the next Elephone with a promise of great specs and horrible execution. Hopefully they are more like LeTV.

And not even 3G bands for US again , it´s a shame since the phone looks great on paper
- balcobomber25
  April 22, 2016
  According to who? Did they release the bands yet? So far officially I have only seen bands for the Thor.
- greg
  April 22, 2016
  Some retail shops like Gea..est , only 3G: WCDMA 900/2100MHz and
  4G: FDD-LTE 800/1800/2100/2600MHz , same with Thor
- balcobomber25
  April 22, 2016
  The Thor bands have been released by Vernee and they are pathetic for network coverage. But I would never trust a resellers specs until it is confirmed by the company. Resellers will often take a guess on specs of unreleased phones and then update them once the phone is released. I am guessing (and I could be wrong) that their flagship Apollo line will have better coverage.

It will now be all about timing to market. Can get to the hall of fame before mid year.

High-end mobile phones will never come out. They just want to win people’s attention, in fact, is to sell their low-end mobile phones. Their phone’s quality is very poor, not recommended to buy.

This was having the potential to be the perfect phone if the battery was =>4000mah. Still waiting for the Oukitel K6000 Premium. My other option is the best seller of this year Redmi Note 3 Pro.

    Sure, but it’s the only phone that checks all the marks and not sacrificing the performance in favor of the battery and vise versa.
