With the release of Meizu Pro 6, “all-metal” smartphones become popular again all over the world.
Due to the popularity of metal design in smartphones, most flagships and even mid-range ones now sport this feature. However, rare smartphones are able to take full advantage of the “all-metal” technology.


As the first flagship of Vernee to come, Apollo has great performance not only in hardware, but also in the appearance and workmanship.

According to vernee official news, Apollo will be the only smartphone around the world which adopts 2mm thick titanium alloy back cover. And its hardness is 2-3 times higher than that of common metal back cover.

What’s really amazing is the technology behind the metal cover. From the pictures released, we can see that Apollo sports complicated and accurate cutting technology and powerful internal integration capacity.
The leakage of Apollo’s metal back cover will definitely surprises its followers who stay tuned all the time.

I wonder how well the phone actually performs? Benchmarks don't really tell much.

EDIT: I see it also comes with a MediaTek processor instead of a Snapdragon. Will that limit dev support?
Yeah.. On the paper you'll get to see a lot but in real world performance everything matters. and i'm not really sure about vernee smartphones.
No, not actually. MTK do release their source code for custom development and vernee will have their own OS called VOS and will be available for everyone to customize it.

MTK do release their source code for custom development

That's quite a U-turn, then. MediaTek have long been notorious for refusing to release their kernel source code, in direct violation of the Linux GPL.

vernee will have their own OS called VOS and will be available for everyone to customize it.

Few people will be interested in developing for a niche OS used only by a single manufacturer.
