Vivo NEX (Black, 8GB RAM, 128GB Storage)

Pros:1. Awesome screen which makes you look at it with Wow. It is similar to S9 and iPhone X screen and since its bigger it looks better than others. The viewing experience is as good as watching on TV. I used a One Plus 5 and 6 and Oppo before and those screens are nowhere to what i have seen on this one. This is real super amoled.2. 8GB RAM, SD 845 and 128GB space. You can't get better specs at this price range. Beast of a phone.3. Camera is awesome and few people who are complaining about more saturation and exposure of the phone lenses can actually use the pro mode to reduce exposure, saturation etc and make the camera work wonders and get the most out of the phone's camera. I used a One plus 5, 6 and iPhone 6 and Oppo F7. This phone's camera is at par with OP6 and better than others.4. Battery and fast charging is really good since the phone's display is massive i thought it will barely last for a day but with moderate to heavy usage it is lasting for 1.5 days.5. At this price point you can't compare it with iPhone X and S9 which are a lot costlier than this one. But still it is getting compared means this is surely a great phone.6. All the brands OPPO, Vivo and One Plus are owned by BKK Electronics so you can be assured of quality here just like you get in One Plus phones.Cons written by others and answers to those complaints:1. Fun Touch OS does take some time to get used to. Easiest thing i found was to drag my finger from top to get the global search box and find any setting, contact by typing there.2. Upgrade to latest fun touch OS so that you can use the phone for video calls on WhatsApp, Skype, Viber etc. I used it for video calls and camera does pop up for the same. By the way if its not working check in notifcations area if you have allowed Skype/Whatsapp to access your phone's camera. If its disabled from there then how can it work?3. Vivo does not have an active community just like One Plus where people constantly discuss issues and One Plus is all ears for them and gets the software upgrades accordingly. Vivo should definitely build up a community and an Instagram page where shots clicked on Vivo nex can be displayed for others to check.4. Spilt screen is working on the latest Fun Touch OS where other users have complained about it. You can set it up from settings as well.5. Ear piece sound right now with latest Fun Touch OS after every call it shows you where to keep you ears for getting optimal sound. I placed my ear at that place and had no troubles with listening to the other person at crowded market area as well.6. At 200gms this is 11gms more heavier than Samsung S9 plus. Yes it is heaviest phone than the other flagships but when you use it daily you would get used to the weight.7. Screen size is lengthy and hence you can't click photos with single hand however you can activate voice in selfie and by saying cheese it clicks your photos.8. Encyption level and security. Vivo at settings and iManager does have a privacy section to set up encryption and password protect your apps and folders. You can also remove location tagging and less use apps and avoid giving them permissions and use incognito mode browser to have maximum security on your phone. Lastly avoid using location services too often to allow Android to snoop around you.
