The vivo V15 Pro is an honorary NEX with its pop-up selfie camera and in-display fingerprint reader, which leave the Ultra FullView Super AMOLED display undisturbed. But this phone actually has better cameras than the NEX. The pop-up camera packs a 32MP sensor, up from just 8MP on the NEX S. The main module of the triple camera on the rear brings another 4x jump in resolution - it's a 48MP sensor with 0.8µm pixels (1.6µm if you use 4-to-1 binning).

Qualcomm unveiled its second generation 5G modem - the Snapdragon X55. It pushes wireless speeds up to 7Gbps, but more importantly it also supports 4G LTE as well as "legacy" technologies like 3G and 2G.
