Vernee Apollo Lite
Vernee is the latest Chinese smartphone
brand that had unveiled two new smartphones Vernee Apollo and Thor. The Vernee
Thor is a low-cost smartphone priced at US$ 130 and sports competitive
specification. On the other hand, the Vernee Apollo comes with the high-end
specs which makes it a good alternative for any other recent flagships and also
comes with a price tag of just US$ 400.
As seen with the other smartphone
brands, Vernee also came up with a lite/mini variant of the Apollo called as
Vernee Apollo Lite. It features an all metal body, same as Apollo but with
slight design modifications. The Apollo Lite comes with a slight curve on back
that offers nice grip to hold on to the device. Even the fingerprint sensor and
rear camera module come in a square shape unlike circular shape on Apollo.
It sports a 5.5-inch but is limited to
Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) resolution unlike the Quad HD resolution of Vernee
Apollo. It is powered by the same Helio X20 deca-core processor along with 4 GB
of RAM and 32 GB of expandable storage. The Apollo came with a whooping 6 GB of
RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. Vernee Apollo is the only smartphone next to
Vivo XPlay 5S to feature 6 GB of RAM.
Coming to the camera department, it has
a 16 MP rear camera with dual LED flash and a 5 MP selfie camera on the front. It
supports dual SIM dual standby by using the hybrid SIM slot, instead of the
second SIM you can opt for MicroSD card for further storage expansion. While
the Vernee Apollo is priced at US$ 400, the new Apollo Lite costs only US$ 200.
At this price, the Apollo Lite is most
affordable Helio X20 powered smartphone available in the market.While there is
no exact date for the availability of the device, we can expect the device
sometime in the month of May. Apart from Apollo Lite, the company also said to
be working the Thor Lite, which might be made official in the next few weeks.
