With the Vernee Thor model finally launched and with shipments already on the way to customers the Vernee’s focus shifts towards the more interesting high-end model Vernee Apollo. After all the company considers it as their most important product for 2016 so makes perfect sense.
We already know that the Apollo should feature 5.5-inch display with 2K resolution and probably even Force Touch 3D technology, hefty 6 GB RAM and 128 GB of storage, main 21 MPix camera with Sony IMX230 sensor, selfie 8 MPix cam, USB Type-C, fingerprint scanner and full metal body. All of those specs have been announced roughly a month ago, but with still plenty of time until the release there are always possibilities of a change or rather an upgrade.
Gizchina News of the week
And exactly one of the announced upgrades got reported today, seems like that the Vernee Apollo is not going to be sporting the deca-core Mediatek Helio X20 but rather the higher clocked version Helio X25. While it’s not an extremely significant upgrade, it’s still a positive one worth mentioning. If all goes according to the plan the Vernee Apollo should see the launch around July and the Apollo Lite version even somewhere in June.
In the meantime you can check the new product video showing visualised 3D renders of the Vernee Apollo.
woow,, better than meizu crap 6
is it?
By the spec’s on paper yes it is.
Same x25, metal body, camera sensor, finger print, force touch. Extra RAM and pixels? that doesn’t look like a big deal.
It could be but until it’s released we can’t say either way. What we can say is it is better than nearly every Elephone and Ulefone, even if it never releases.
i just wish more phones used omnivision sensors :/ rather than sony imx
spot on !
I want to know the battery capacity…
On the lite version they said it was something around 3100mah
Does the light have FHD… otherwise it will be a total let down….
They said it’s going to be a fhd igzo screen (there was a post here on gizchina not long time ago)
Well if I see the first Reviews of the other VERNEE phone I must say I have no hopes for this one. Battery is way to small, even for FHD, and it may well lack other features I like as well.
too bad.
2k” just go up and read again.
lite is fhd. normal one 2k
Yes, it has 1080p
This elephone Vowney, er, I mean Vernee Apollo looks great on paper….hope they pull it off and keep their promises.
who’s Zach ?
funny how you put “hope they pull it off and keep their promises” and put ELEPHONE in the same sentence lol
It’s a mate 8 clone… I really like it! ?
Hahhah, I was just about to post the same thing! 🙂 Litterally a few minutes ago it hit me how much it looks like the Mate 8: The back, the bottom side (Check out the holes next to the usb porty), the general shape of the device, even the on-screen buttons: Yep, definitely a clone 🙂 http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_mate_8-pictures-7239.php
lol , my mate 8 , X_x
HORY SHET …
Most phone look the same to me these days. Slim to slightly thicker bricks.
It’s a good thing you included the words “to me” in your comment 🙂
Yea. Its still tire though. They’re all rectangular bricks with slight differences. Ooohhh this ones thinner. Ooohhh this one has slightly thinner bezels….. This one is beautiful. That’s one beautiful rectangular brick.
No NFC, no sale.
come on, NFC is not a big deal
It is for me. I have audio equipment that is connected by NFC. There are other feature of NFC I want too.
i see, what kind of audio device ?
I’m ready to applaud Vernee if they manage to launch all those advertised products, but honestly, I think this will be another Elephone Vowney and should finally arrive in the market by December.
So, only 5 month of delay over the announced release?! Down at elephone they would call it “anticipation” or something lol
5 months? The Vowney was delayed nearly 9 months. For Elephone 5 months would be an improvement.
Might be interested in this if it is on time and the price is right.
Upgrade the battery not the cpu!
This, Huawei P9, P9 plus, Oneplus 3 or Zuk Z2 Pro, one of this will be my next phone.
