Vivo Nex S and Nex A are expected to debut in India on July 19. Vivo on Wednesday sent a 'Block Your Date' invite to media to hint at the new development. Both new Vivo smartphones were unveiled earlier this month with a pop-up selfie camera and went on sale in China last week. The presence of the pop-up camera system also brings a top-end 91.24 percent screen-to-body ratio. The camera system elevates from the body using a spring-loaded motor, as detailed in a recent teardown. The smartphones also include a Jovi AI assistant and come with as much as 256GB of onboard storage.

As per the official invite, it is confirmed that Vivo is expanding its Nex brand to India. It is, however, unclear whether the Chinese company is launching both Nex models or any of them. Also, the India price and availability of the new offering haven't been revealed yet.

Having said that, the Vivo Nex A price in China is set at CNY 3,898 (roughly Rs. 40,400) for 6GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration, while the Vivo Nex S with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage is available at CNY 4,498 (roughly Rs. 47,000). The 8GB RAM and 256GB storage version of the Nex S, on the other hand, is priced at CNY 4,998 (roughly Rs. 52,000). The smartphones come in Black and Red colour options, whereas the 256GB storage variant comes in only Black colour option.
