The vivo NEX is being kicked out, another source revealed. Sina Technology, one of the biggest tech platforms in China, suggested that the NEX phones have been unlisted from vivo’s website. It also mentioned that insiders confirmed the new flagship will be called X Note, while the foldable will go by X Fold moniker.

The new top of the line handset will obviously not be called NEX 5. Sina Technology mentioned that vivo executives folded the whole NEX sub-division, and employees will join other divisions with the Dongguan company as part of an internal structure adjustment.

The NEX lineup is known for its latest innovations, and it did introduce some back in the days – the NEX S was the first phone with an elevating selfie camera in 2018, while NEX Dual Display brought the dual-screen experience. However, in the past two years, we haven’t heard or seen anything from the team, so the internal shift is hardly a surprise.
