When Vernee released the Apollo Lite at the beginning of October many people were surprised. A top of the range with the denomination Lite? That could only mean that we were facing the light version of a terminal with greater features that was yet to come.
Taking into account that the Lite model itself was already a very powerful smartphoneWhat would we find in the pro version of the terminal? The musings are over. The Vernee apollo It is already a reality, and its characteristics and quality / price ratio place it in the fleeting Olympus of Chinese smartphones (at least for a while, and until its competitors wake up!).
What's new: 2K resolution display and improved VR support
As far as terminal design is concerned, the Vernee Apollo follows a bit the same trail as its lite version. Unibody metallic body with rounded edges and with the fingerprint detector located on the back, just below the camera. A sober and elegant style that gives it that premium finish that has been so popular lately.
What is really a novelty and so much difference to this terminal from the rest of the range competitors is its screen. With a size of 5.5 inches and a resolution 2K (2560 × 1440) promises to offer a remarkably superior experience in the use of virtual reality or VR games and applications. It has a 538PPI pixel density, 500 nits brightness and night reading (soft and dull light). In short, we find a high-performance display.
Power and performance
As far as power is concerned, the new Vernee model also takes a qualitative leap and presents a Helio X25 10-core processor running at 2.5GHz and 4GB of RAM. All accompanied by a Mali T880 GPU and 64GB of internal storage expandable in 128GB by means of micro SD card.
Needless to say, we are faced with a high-performance terminal capable of moving heavy graphics and running multiple apps simultaneously thanks to its processor and memory. In addition, with 64GB of disk space we can store a large number of documents, photos and music without fear of running out of space at the first change.
Camera and battery
The camera is another of the strengths of the Vernee Apollo thanks to its 21MP definition rear lens with flash and autofocus included. A camera much higher than the average, with a quality that we are already beginning to see in some Chinese terminals and that will most likely be a trend in 2017.
On the other hand, the 3180mAh built-in battery it will grant the necessary security in terms of autonomy of the terminal.
Other features of the Vernee Apollo
The manufacturer is strongly committed to virtual reality, and proof of this is the inclusion of VR glasses with the purchase of the terminal.
The phone has 4G connectivity, Dual SIM, USB type C connection for fast charges and bluetooth 4.0, all running under Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
Price and availability
The Vernee apollo It is already on sale and can be found in the next flash sale for $ 249.99 , or 226 euros to change. Shipments will not begin until December 20, but if we want to get hold of it it may be a good time, since the offer is limited and ends on December 7, returning to its original price of $ 299.
Without a doubt, we are facing a great terminal, with very good performance and enough power to stop a car, but especially striking thanks to its screen with 2K definition. A safe bet.
