It seems that the alleged leaks of a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1-powered vivo NEX 5 is not a NEX Series smartphone after all as the company has officially said that the NEX Series will be discontinued and replaced with its X Series. The statement was made by Jia Jingdong, vivo’s brand vice president and general manager of brand and product strategy on Weibo earlier today.

With 7.7 Orange Madness Campaign just five days away, both OPPO Malaysia and Vivo Malaysia are having special sales during this period, having deals from as low as RM499 and discount offers up to 60%! Of course, keep in mind that this only applies to their online stores on the Shopee platform.

If you're not a smartphone geek, you should know that Vivo was actually the first smartphone manufacturer to showcase and implement the In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology. So in conjunction with this, the company was awarded one of the Best Innovations for Android phone for 2018 by one of the top tier international tech media, Android Authority.

The Raya season is just around the corner and to take on this opportunity, vivo Malaysia will have an exclusive Raya Dengan Shopee campaign. Starting today onwards until 6 June 2019, customers can get their hands on selected vivo smartphones with discounts up to 55%, as well as Raya packets, free gifts, freebies and vouchers.

Vivo has announced the official launch of the Vivo V15 Pro in India today, starting from the price of INR28990(~RM1658) and it is equipped with a 32MP pop-up front-facing camera along with a 48MP + 8MP + 5MP rear camera setup.

Based on 91mobiles.com, the Vivo NEX has been discontinued in India. Instead, Vivo announced that they will be launching the Vivo V15 Pro which is equipped with a 32MP front-facing selfie camera, as well as a triple rear camera. Best to note that, we are not entirely sure of the exact tech specs of the rear cameras as of now.

Rumoured to be going official as soon as 24 January 2019, renders and even a video of the vivo Apex have appeared. Featuring an all smooth exterior with no ports or jacks (and a hidden pop-up periscope front camera like the vivo nex) the Apex appears to be all screen on the front and a smooth metallic bar on the back with dual rear cameras. There doesn't appear to be any rear fingerprint sensor either, so we assume that it will have an under display fingerprint scanner. No actual buttons were in sight either.

Year 2019 is the year the screen to body ratios of smartphones get bigger. The Xiaomi Mi Mix 3’s sliding selfie camera was pretty innovative and now we are hearing that the OPPO R19 and vivoX25 may be adopting a pop up selfie camera mechanism, similar to the vivo NEX.

A prototype of the vivo NEX 5G was on display during a Xinhua News Agency media conference in China. The smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 855 chipset alongside the X50 LTE modem to utilise it's 5G capabilities.
