Vernee is the latest Chinese smartphone brand that had unveiled two new smartphones Vernee Apollo and Thor. The Vernee Thor is a low-cost smartphone priced at $130 and sports competitive specification. On the other hand, the Vernee Apollo comes with the high-end specs which makes it a good alternative for any other recent flagships and also comes with a price tag of just $400.

As seen with the other smartphone brands, Vernee also came up with a lite/mini variant of the Apollo called as Vernee Apollo Lite. It features an all metal body, same as Apollo but with slight design modifications. The Apollo Lite comes with a slight curve on back that offers nice grip to hold on to the device. Even the fingerprint sensor and rear camera module come in a square shape unlike circular shape on Apollo.
