Seeems like the long wait for the Vernee flagship model is finally coming to an end for real, because reservations for the Vernee Apollo are finally up and running. After a half year of waiting, redesigns, plan changes and just overall confusion the self-proclaimed “world first MTK based VR flagship phone” is here.
Gizchina News of the week
It’s a real shame it took so long, because the specs are not looking nearly as good as it did half a year ago. But still it’s looking quite alright with 5,5-inch screen, 2K resolution, deca-core Helio X25 processor clocked at 2,5 GHz, 4 GB LPDDR3 RAM, 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 storage and 21 Mpix rear camera with Sony IMX230 sensor. You can make your reservation of Vernee Apollo in this link and the price has been set at $299.99.
But as a part of the reservation campaign there will be 50 x $50 discount coupons every day starting today until December 5th for people subscribing on the official page in the previous link. You can also participate in a Facebook giveaway there with 5 Vernee wooden base stands as prizes for the lucky ones daily. Make sure you scout the page for all the details.
The inital rumours say it would be priced at $ 399. So I was worrided about that. Seems the price now are much lower. So I think this might be alternative for many instead for example the new OnePlus 3T. But I will wait for some reviews first. But so far so good.
$250 is a fair price I guess. At this point, I’m more interested in their smaller phones like Thor Pro and Mars Pro though.
You can get Z2 Pro closer to $300 now.
2K display looks nice
