Vernee Apollo with Helio X20, 6GB RAM announced

Vernee is a new Chinese smartphone brand founded last month, and the brand is making no compromise when it comes to offering serious firepower in its first handset.

Dubbed Apollo, the handset packs a mammoth 6GB RAM, just like vivo's Xplay and is powered by MediaTek's deca-core Helio X20 (MT6797) SoC with Mali T-880 GPU, which was utilised by ZOPO's Speed 8 smartphone.

It flaunts a 5.5-inch QHD Force Touch display and houses 128GB internal storage, 21-megapixel rear camera w/ Sony IMX230 sensor, LED flash and 8-megapixel front facing camera. The Apollo sports a full metal unibody design, runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow and, comes with fingerprint sensor and USB Type-C port. There is no mention of battery capacity. 

Overall Vernee's Apollo packs enough firepower to take on the likes of Xiaomi's Mi 5, LeEco's Le Max, and Huawei and Meizu's upcoming flagship.

Vernee also introduced a budget smartphone called Thor (right in the above image) equipped with MediaTek MT6753 SoC. Though, the brand did not reveal the complete specs, but it does sport a fingerprint sensor.

The Vernee Apollo come in silver color and will release sometime in April 2016. Pricing will be announced next month.
