Vernee have been dancing around the release of their Vernee Apollo flagship for quite a while, first information dates way back. But seems like the wait should be finally over, because according to insider Vernee sources the phone should be launched by the end of November.
Since the days of the first informations the hardware train didn’t stop and wait so now the Apollo doesn’t look as cutting edge as before, but still it can be a damn solid model if they manage to keep the usual reasonable pricing. They are calling it a “world’s first VR flagship on Mediatek platform” and to back up such a claim it’s going to be equipped with Helio X25 chipset clocked at 2.5 GHz, Mali-T880 GPU, 5,5-inch 2K resolution display with 541 ppi, 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 storage and 21 Mpix Sony IMX230 sensor for the main camera.
Gizchina News of the week
So far no official word for pricing and only a vague promise of December shipping date of the actual phone packages. Let’s hope for the best, with their previous models Vernee more or less delivered on their promises so we shoudl expect the same this time too.
Hi, I have seen your comment on gizchina.it review for the Redmi 4 Prime. I am also interested to get the Redmi 4 Prime. Of course the system
is not optimized but I guess that after regular updates the device will
get better. Zuk Z2 offers great hardware but the ROM is buggy and the
support is close to zero. That’s the reason why the price of the device
declined a few months after the release.
I could get the Redmi 4
Prime on Ibuygou at 152€ using a coupon, I am tired of waiting for the
perfect device. I am a bit hesitating because of the sound quality of
the speaker. According to the review here, the sound from the 3.5mm jack
is better than the speaker which is fine for me. Regarding the speaker,
maybe with updates it will get better. It is not possible to have
everything at 150€. There are better options out there but I don’t want
to spend more money.
Really too late
I have a phone with the X20 and the GPU is quite slow. The chipset itself has plenty of CPU power but it has a weak GPU so I wouldn’t recommend it for VR.
And running a 2K screen GPU will have less available power.
What phone is that? The x20 GPU looks capable to me unless when you say its not 60fps, cause I see the x20 run 40 fps at minimum which is acceptable in my opinion at this price range or maybe the x20 just needed more.cores
