Vivo Nex S, Nex A India Launch Set for July 19...

Vivo Nex S and Nex A are expected to debut in India on July 19. Vivo on Wednesday sent a 'Block Your Date' invite to media to hint at the new development. Both new Vivo smartphones were unveiled earlier this month with a pop-up selfie camera and went on sale in China last week. The presence of the pop-up camera system also brings a top-end 91.24 percent screen-to-body ratio. The camera system elevates from the body using a spring-loaded motor, as detailed in a recent teardown. The smartphones also include a Jovi AI assistant and come with as much as 256GB of onboard storage.

As per the official invite, it is confirmed that Vivo is expanding its Nex brand to India. It is, however, unclear whether the Chinese company is launching both Nex models or any of them. Also, the India price and availability of the new offering haven't been revealed yet. vivo nex invite Vivo Nex
