Vernee trying to focus on aesthetics and diversity


One of the certain trends of the last few years is a homogenization and uniformity of the looks of the mobile phones. Back in the days you could just tell the brands apart with just a single look, but now ? Everything looks more or less the same with very low level of identity, just take a look at the picture in title.

On one hand it’s caused by the customers paying more attention to the actual hardware inside the devices than purely the design part, but the looks are still not negligible. Just look at the displeasure of some new Apple models owners complaining about the same design as the previous generation despite the more powerful hardware packed inside. Or the drop in sales for Samsung S5 due to over the top likeness to the older S3 and S4 in terms of design. So yes the design part still matters.

You can still see some manufacturers trying to offer at least some sort of an individual feeling of uniqueness and distinctive features, so there is still some hope for the future the bland homogenity of all the models will not become a majority things. One of those, who are trying to go their own way at least partially are Vernee with their Mars model.

Gizchina News of the week


Vernee Mars is trying to adopt a clean and symmetric design with no physical buttons and logo. The 2.5D display has rounded sides and corners and thanks to Gel Suspension technology and thin 1mm bezels the screen-to-body ratio is up to 81 %. Side mounted fingeprint scanner is still pretty unique too with only very few other models going this way. Chassis made of 6000 series aluminum with nano-injection molding and anodizing coloring paired with surface treatment with No.220 fine zircon gives the phone also some respectable frame and back cover looks and feel, not to mention just the 7,6mm thickness.

Besides the design part Vernee Mars should also excel somewhat in the software side of things as the model should be among the first to get upgraded to Android 7.0 Nougat. Vernee are also running a campaign to invite users to testing the model for free, you can find more details about it in here.

    So, they photoshopped some logos behind a op3 and claimed all phones are the same?! So I can photoshop my face on Scarlett Johansson’s body and say I’m freaking hot! ?

        Hey, I’m an open minded guy: I don’t judge someone based on religion, sexual tastes or else… If you want to be gay, I’ll let you be gay; if you want to be straight, I’ll let you be straight; of you want to be asian, I’ll let you be asian; so, if I want to be Scarlett Johansson, let me be Scarlett Johansson! ?

          heyyy… you took it way over the top ! no one’s judging you for anything ! (btw im straight, so tell me if there are any single cute italian girls on your side :p )

          i appreciate your open mindedness , but i’m sure everyone’s having a worried laughter at you being Scarlett :p

            If I’d knew any cute single girl, do you think I’d still be single myself?! ?

            Anyway, that worry laughter is exactly what I’m hoping for: to impress people is such a difficult thing to do nowadays! ?

    Never saw a meizi or Xiaomi that looks like that. Dishonest marketing?

    Too bad that all the available colours have the same black front, spoils it for me because I would buy any colour of phone but black. If I buy a silver phone I want the front to be sliver too, not black. Poor decision to make all of them black in front in view of the effort put into the appearance of the phone in other respects.
