I did actually buy the mate 20 x too, I will sell my Vivo Nex, I mainly want bigger screen,. mate 20 x is very underrated phone that has for some reason come into the shadow behind mate 20 pro. I dont looking forward to waterdrop notch. I look forward to bigger screen and also less narrow and more wide aspect ratio.

If Vivo would not have delayed the Pie update so much I would night have kept it for a while longer, they are in a big need to release a more refined funtouch 5.0 (rename the UI also please).

Vivo are for sure on the right track, all in all this was a very interesting adventure to be part of, Nex is still probably one of the most fast phones but their UI need refinements if they want to appeal to a broader market and not only nerds. But there is a lot of things to like about the general software experience , I like the iOS design I like the stock message app, the updates has come in a kind of steady flow about 1 per month.

pop up camera remain to be the best solution to hide the selfie camera I am sorry to seed not more people adopt it.

Camera is good but not in the winter when it is dark all the time here in Sweden.

Fingerprint scanner remain to be the biggest flaw of this device but its the same for all other who have similar solution its not ready for prime time, this is only a gimmick that lead to frustrations , but I also have to applaud Vivo for the innovations and leading the cutting edge, some one have to be first and vivo was first and others people are now following them. With that said dual fingerprint scanner should be the solution now one on the back and one under the screen.

Battery life has been good until the last 2 updates where it has dropped in about 20-30 percent. Pie update around the corner might solve this...

I still regard this a a cutting edge and a very underrated phone, I hope nex 2 will have bigger screen and more wide aspect ratio.

I will not try Vivo again until funtouch 5.0 is released (that have some substantial difference in design too)

The mate 20 x will arrive today we will feel how it feels maybe it just does feel too big or something then I might keep the nex for a while.

I was about to get rid of my vivo Nex A due to data sleep after every 10 minutes for a minute. But today I've tried something that solved the problem.

Switch the main sim to sim 2 tray and sim one live it as 2G 3G only. Problem solved
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
To everyone who complain about the Funtouch software, after been using the Mate 20x for 2 days I can say I very much prefer funtouch over EMUI. Not been using EMUI since version 7 but surprisingly little ave changed since then
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Look my only compliant about Fantouch is very spesific elements on it.

1.No unlimited app notification on AOD(very bad Vivo policy-most OEM offer that choice with AOD)

2.You can not customize off screen gesture like for example Oxygen offer with Oneplus and use whatever app want.

3.Not having unlimited accent color customization and not having dark/black themes out of box like Oxygen offer.

I don't have any problem with that IOS inspiration UI.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] roxboxxx:
I have had both versions of the NEX S and both he the same issues the are fun touch related:

- Notification controls are horrible

- Getting advanced settings to "stick" and not require constant redo's

-Crappy themes

-Half iOS, half Android UI experience all smashed into one

-Useless pulldown menu

To say the least.

I had Huawei mate 9, and 10 and a oneplus 6, both way better UIs
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
The truth is that depending on personal preference and approach each one of us give priority to different features and software characteristics each OEM skin.

Nobody is perfect.

Oxygen,MIUI,EMIU,Samsung experience has their own disadvantages too.

For example from Oxygen I don't like even today they didn't implement proper AOD.

Ambient display is totally crap.

Also I don't like they don't offer theme store.

Don't like lack of dynamic lock screen.

Also off screen gesture is less responsive and user friendly and need to press hard the screen to work and even then they are not reliable.

Also I don't like in display finger sensor implementation of Oneplus 6T that need ambient display to work.

Very bad implementation.

Even double tap to wake it's not such reliable and some time needs 2 times to response.

Vivo always working fine.

One common disadvantages of all Chinese oem skin is they don't have sounds separation from ringing to sounds notification alarm.

Also don't offer expandable notification on lock screen(Oxygen is the only exception that offer that fundamental android features nobady else among Chinese skin do that)

EMIU also don't have proper and functional AOD.

Settings Menu UI is very chaotic.

They don't offer on screen and off screen gesture support.

EMIU also don't offer unlimited accent color customization as Oxygen for example offer.

From time to time they are having issue with notification with various app not showing properly.

Classical Chinese aggressive policy that killed app background activity.

So nobody perfect each one has advantages and disadvantages.

Samsung experience also has their own good and bad thing.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] harveen.oberoy:
It is end of January , per the timeline update should have been ready , but still no news from Vivo . Bad experience for a Flagship phone.

Anybody knows when the Android P would be out for India / Global Vivo Nex ?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] blackinfinity:
Yeah... I think it would had been easier if they did release it with PIE from the start...

There is a big need for funtouch 5.0 too..and please rename that name..

I doubt it will be worth the wait if not funtouch 5.0 is released with the pie release.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
The whole point of upgrades is to bring new software feature where it's lacking compared to competition and improvements where it's weakness right now.

Yes Fantouch doesn't sound very good as a name,BUT again software features is what would make it better eventually.

I'd rather have new features and improvements existing one with same skin name and not different name skin and without any changes.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] ansumang:
How long! Does Treble support make any sense! Or Fuschia is the only solution?

My expectations; Side volume bar, Digital Wellbeing, and system wide dark mode! I don't have much expectations from Vivo, but it seems Vivo is busy with Apex, Nex 2 5G, Vivo V15 Pro!! These three phones are unique and promising, why'd they bother about Software updates for their previous phones!!?

Looks like new android pie beta rev. get pushed to beta program devices, i just found a Chinese change log screenshot, the update has a good size, hope many bugs get fixed with this and the stable version comes fast can´t wait for it.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Keep in mind that official Pie version of Dual Display Chinese version there's major bug with whatsapp app by not showing reply option through notification center pull down.

I've talked to Vivo support and told me that will fix it with future update.

Since both devices have many hardware similarities and use same Fantouch 4.5 OS maybe having same bugs also with identical Android Pie version.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] smisi:
okay, but if they manage to fix the reply bug it´s good for us right, on oreo everything works wonderful if pie get the current oreo status then we have nothing to complain. oreo runs perfect right now on my phone with funtouch os 4.

Yes Oreo works brilliantly and rock solid with mine Vivo Nex also.

Not having any complaint.

If you mean Pie, then it will be released in a month or two!

Oops, my bad. Imeant pie. They said pie will be out by last quarter of 2018, and still no news. Nex was my first vivo phone and I'm disappointed with just two things, the updates are getting really late and the source code which will not be released. Sigh! Hope they make up for this. Nex is a really good phone though.

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Valeriuz:
For the people who are running the beta on pie: have you noticed an improvement on fingerprint recognition?

Recognition is quite good, just don't know why sometimes is really fast, other takes lot of time, I think it's more a problem related to the governor of the cpu more than the fingerprint sensor itself.

Maybe Pie is getting delayed, hence this minor update!

Edit: updated, only diff i notice in 10 minutes is Jovi Smart Scene and Feb security patch! That's all.

I thought 620 MB will bring at least FuntouchOS version update! But Nothing.

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Abby 244:
Do we get 960fps slow mo, 60fps in 1080p or wideline L1 support in pie?

Have they corrected colors in systemwide default apps and funtouch os?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
Does it have those two feature that offer with dual display device and Pie version??

1. Maintain the option of battery saver mode at location setting despite most oem follow Google guideline of removing that option with Android Pie.

2. If added separate ringing sound alarm from notification sound alarm in sound settings when press volume button just like Samsung and LG offering today.

Take a look first screnshot is with 8.1 on Nex S

Second one with Pie and Dual display version

With dual display device there is no any kind of that options so i really doubt will deliver ever with Pie on Nex S.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Abby 244:
Then this would be my first and last vivo phone. This device has so much potential but vivo simply killing it by not giving such features. Wait for oneplus 7 begins.

Give me up to date security patches and I'm fine with the current version. Google updates and oem skins are already two iterations apart. Funtouch, emui and miui are far better and further advanced than what Google offer. Yeah, featureless stock android sucks to be honest and I used to be a stock fan right from my Nexus 2013 tablet.

[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] xwonic:
Oxygen OS from Oneplus seems really good with tons of customization and Samsung One is also going the right way.

Somethings i wanted in the new version

Wish Vivo had a proper Dark/Black mode instead of using themes. like oxygen OS doing.

And more battery control, like better Doze mode. (still draining +5% while i'm sleeping)

Able to Remove/Disable apps from menus instead of using adb commands.

If they don't give us root give us more customization over Funtouch OS then.

Here's my list of disabled apps.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Twotems:
I'd like a dark mode too but it's not a deal breaker.

Battery wise this thing is incredible. I'm running an always on vpn, telegram, signal, WhatsApp and about 8 other apps in the background and a days use isn't an issue. Right now I'm on 7hrs 15mins sot with 25% remaining and 17hrs 16mins off the charger. It's a beast. All the changes you made through adb, I've done through the menu so I'm good. Sounds like you have the Chinese version.

It's not a perfect phone software wise but it's exceeded my expectations and I'm not replacing it until someone can beat it as an all-rounder. The global version is still the most underrated phone of 2018.
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] xwonic:
its the global version as well.

can you tell me where you can disable apps without adb?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] Twotems:
What exactly do you want to disable? I'm using YT Vance and I just don't update the original YT in the Playstore. The rest are simple default settings. I remove anything possible regarding Facebook on every phone and only access FB via the full android Opera browser (not mini) which is my default.

I don't think we're doing anything differently but I don't see an issue. If I couldn't change the infuriating launcher (coming from miui that's a necessity) I would dump this phone immediately.

Settings/more settings/default apps. That's the basic one. Then settings/more settings/apps and disable what you can/want. Not everything can be disabled but your defaults can definitely be changed.

Vivo launched V15 and Pro with Pie based FuntouchOS 9, so why is the delay for Nex!!

Either they don't care, or they are working on something new for Nex! ?

I just think they're delaying bcoz they don't care!

Which one is it do you think??
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] t7gc7:
What i don't understand is why they develop a Pie version with Funtouch 4.5 and an another one with Funtouch 9.0. There is no reason to waste time on 2 different OS.

Don't worry we will receive the new OS but when .... ?
[Vivo Nex Guides, News, & Discussion] paatha13:
That’s a good question.

Why not Vivo concentrate all its efforts on one goal.

What's the point of Fantouch 4.5 since they've been working with 9.0 on newest device like V15 Pro and X27.
