Vernee is a relatively unknown Chinese smartphone maker which is trying to make it in the competitive mobile market. A few months ago we told you about the Vernee Apollo which tries to present itself as a worthy OnePlus 3T alternative.

Now the company is focusing all its energies on the Apollo X model, which according to the information we’re getting will be shipping out with some interesting features.

You might remember that we talked about Remix OS for Mobile – a custom ROM which aims to transform your Android smartphone into a PC. Well Vernee is hoping to achieve something similar with the Apollo X.

The Apollo X is poised to take advantage of a similar solution dubbed OXI Desktop. Basically OXI will allow owners of the Apollo X run multi-window mode on their smartphone or tablet – which is said makes the Android feel more like a desktop OS.

Additionally, users will be able to cast the multi-window environment to an external display while remaining in full-screen mode on their mobile device. Basically the OXI behaves in the likeness of Microsoft’s Continuum. And like the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S8’s DeX Station.

However, while the Galaxy S8 DeX is actually a dock, Vernee’s Apollo X is said to come pre-installed with OXI which is called a software adaptation.

Regardless, the result is bound to be the same. You’ll be able to switch the entire content from the smartphone’s display to a massive monitor for a clean and clutter-less desktop experience.

The phone made an appearance at MWC 2017 with a 5.5-inch display with 1080 x 1920 resolution and a deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 chipset under the hood working hand in hand with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage.

The Vernee Apollo X is currently available for pre-order on Gearbest for $219.99 a pop.

  1. OnePlus mostly releasing one model at the time, flagship devices. Vernee got a much larger portfolio of devices from low to high end.
    I think their goal is to be a big brand for the mass market so to speak rather than just be a entusiast brand.

    I am not sure if OnePlus will be able to reach the level to be a brand for everybody?

    Anyway Vernee announced a bunch of phones at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the Apollo X will be the first of those who will be on sale.

  2. Chinese products have such a stigma! Interesting at least. But in this case It would be a leap of faith that i wont take: for me those Agm ruggeds of 160 euros were a lucky strike and i ll follow them. This verneem, tho… doesnt satisfy me for that price.

    • read about FS ! I discover the $9.9 Agm`s one from here thatagmdude.blogspot.pe/2017/03/flash-sale-agm.html

      • YEs!! A Flash Sale its a great way to make things move for some brands… i have been reading a ton about agm`s recently so i knew about the offer … sadly is now over :( But Still!! those phablets are really affordable!

      • I like them durable,too; so in that line… Agm got it best this time with the agm a2 in the low end, and the x1 ( and sooner the x2 with 6,000mAh battery, 256GB of storage? 16 mp Sony camera ip68 ?) at the medium/high … so… sorry Vernee ….

  3. Its actually quite a decent phone :d ! i just love that China is trying to overcome that old reputation of “simpy bad products”; but in mobile phones to me is AGM their best: i mean… great specs AND Rugged phones? Hell yeah.

  4. Ok: its not BAD. Simply not for me. I strongly prefer to invest a little more in more compact phones ( i like them durable); and Agm got it best this time, sorry Vernee ( even the agm a8 at 160 euros got Quad Core 1.2GHz, 3GB ram, 32GB , 13 Megapixels camera and nougat :O ….
