Vernee Apollo with Helio X25 makes a debut at GITEX 2016


Last week we have seen the Vernee company attending the GITEX 2016 (Gulf Information Technology Exhibition) event and they showcased their full lineup including Thor, Apollo Lite, Mars and finally also Apollo models.

This exhibition takes place annually in Dubai and brings curious visitors from over 147 countries. And they could see the debut of the Vernee Apollo model sporting the powerful deca-core Mediatek Helio X25 processor. Combine that with a nice design and you have a hit, which garnered quite some attention at the event.

Aside of the Helio X25 the phone has 4 GB RAM, 64 GB of storage, main camera with 21 Mpix resolution and Sony IMX230 sensor and 2K display with 541 ppi, so it’s quite ready for the VR usage. That’s quite some nice specifications and we can also expect Vernee most probably won’t be driving the price too high.

Alongside the new Apollo starred also the Mars model and with full metal body, just 1 mm thin bezels and arced back cover antennas it also stole some spotlight.

Attending such events is important for Vernee to show their dedication and international focus so they can profile themselves as a dependable serious international brand bringing full package of new technologies, quality and support care for their customers.

    Now, who is going to say that Marcus is Vernee employee?

      Or maybe he got a free “sample for testing”. 😉

      But I agree – if it will cost much more than 230 EUR (about 40 EURs higher than lite –> for the sake of 2K, and better Cam) then it’s not worth it.

      Yea. They shouldn’t thread same road with eLIEphone

        Vernee only believe in frequent & pointless OTA updates. None of them fix the main issues the phone has had since its release.

    • October 25, 2016

      Not true. The X25 has lots to offer and with a better camera if this sells for around 250$ could be a great phone.
      Vernee have done the impossible with P10(Vernee Mars) to make games playable at high settings, something I thought was not possible.

    Helio x20/25 will never be VR ready.Its GPU sux and is not even able play Asphalt on low on stable 30 fps…how this can support VR is beyond me lol

    • October 25, 2016

      You sure about that? Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 4 has an underclocked X20 and Asphalt 8 runs buttery smooth.
      Check after 31:10 on my review, all games run smooth in high settings.

        Yes I am sure. I have LeEco Le2 with x20. For Asphalt try Tokio or new Rio track and you will see your fps go down. For MC5 it is usualy end of 1st mission when you drive boat and try to shoot down heli when it is most GPU intensive…again fps will go down.In Unkilled it is any action in subway when fps go down. O&C2 Redemption is almost unplayable in some sections of dungeons.
        It also can be bcuz of different Kernel but I do not think so.Can try MIUI on my phone but I bet it will be the same as with EUI…

          I had the Le 2 Pro with X25 and it still throttled as well, but on other phones with that chip it doesn’t. It’s not MTK’s fault for crappy software optimization and cooling solutions.
          It`s not just the software, it’s the manufacturer.
          Did you see the video and believe me?
          I reviewed 4 different X20 and P10 phones, all ran games differently and had different heating/battery stats.

            Yea I saw it.I played all those games and I told you where you start to lose frames.I will try to flash MIUI and will see how it run games…
