Vernee Apollo Lite is the ‘lite’ version of the awesome Apollo smartphone and an enticing alternative for those who cannot shell out the cash for the other device. Like its higher-end brother, this handset is driven by a 10-core processor, although the RAM, storage and cameras are not as equally awesome.

Design and Display
Virtually nothing changes between the Vernee Apollo and Apollo Lite in terms of looks, at least from afar. This slightly-downgraded variant sports the same unibody design and a chassis made completely of metal.
Vernee Apollo Lite retains the huge 5.5-inch diagonal display, although this one has Full HD resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels as against the QHD display of the Apollo. However, a pixel density of about 400 pixels per inch is high enough to enable awesome visuals.
Camera and Storage
The Vernee Apollo Lite is equipped with a 16-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel selfie camera.
While this pair is a step-down from the heavy-duty 21MP and 8MP combo on the Apollo, it still offers good value for money.
You will also not be getting the humongous 128GB onboard storage on this one. The Apollo Lite is expected to come with 32 GB of integrated storage, which is not really shabby for the price. The storage is expandable as well.
Performance and OS
At about half the price, the Vernee Apollo Lite boasts the same deca-core MediaTek Helio X20 processor that is used on the Apollo.
This makes the phablet probably the cheapest one to feature the CPU designed for high-end devices.
Buyers will be getting ‘just’ 4 GB of RAM on this one, instead of the headline-grabbing 6 GB available on the more-expensive variant. The Apollo Lite will also run on Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) operating system.
The device comes with dual SIM card slots, one of which doubles as a microSD card slot.
Vernee Apollo Lite is expected to feature the future-focused USB Type-C port. There is also a fingerprint scanner to provide users with an extra layer of security.
Pricing and Availability
Vernee Apollo Lite is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Verne Apollo Lite Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N40,000 to N55,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
