New and hungry chinese startup company Vernee is trying agressively to establish a foothold in the market and the are planning to release three phone models this year. First one is the Vernee Thor, which is being already delivered to the customers these days and as the flagship there will be the Vernee Apollo model expected to appear somewhere in July.
But the next one to show up will be the cheaper Apollo version Vernee Apollo Lite and we finally have the full specs of the model along with the official market release date.
Gizchina News of the week
So what’s going to Vernee Apollo Lite offer ? Here what’s confirmed : 5.5-inch SHARP FullHD IGZO display with the “blue light” protection, deca-core Helio X20 processor clocked at 2.3 GHz, 4 GB LPDDR3 RAM, 32 GB of eMMC 5.1 storage (expandable up to 128 GB), 16 MPix rear camera with Samsung S5K3P3 sensor (6 lenses, ISOCELL, RWWB), front 5 MPix cam with Samsung S5K5E2 sensor, 3180 mAh battery capacity, Android 6.0 Marshmallow with the Vernee OS on top of it, USB Type-C connector with audio connector support but the usual 3.5mm jack is kept intact too, Pump Express 3.0 fast charge support, full metal body, dual SIM support and OTG. What’s worth mentioning is the open source kernel available for the model, just like for the Thor.
I’ve ordered the Vernee Thor as early user reviews on facebook have been good and the camera pics look very promising.
I wouldn’t say the best, the Infocus V5 is about 100$ and has pretty much equal specs.
interesting. getting pretty positive feedback on xda. might need to look into this one
Infocus is ugly, cost 35$ more than the thor and has a smaller battery (2400mah instead og the 2850mah of the vernee). And i didn t check the 4g frequencies and other stuff.Vernee thor is far better
Good point.
It’s a toss up between the Thor having 720p screen and finger scanner, to the Infocus V5 having 1080p, smaller memory, and no finger scanner. The Thor has the bonus of open source kernel which means community support and ability.
I was interested in buying my Mum a Vernee Thor to replace a pensioner style non-android phone. She wouldn’t care about the finger scanner so the 1080p screen is a benefit.
I should say, for this price range both are pretty good. Only difference is that people hardly know about Infocus phones. There is also a variant with 3GB and 3GB, only in Rose gold unfortunately.
But I also know that everyone is excited for tryout a new brand like Vernee.
Yeah I skipped their presence, so thank for revealing their good offering to customers. The 1080p brings them on par with Vernee’s quality of manufacturing.
