Design and Display
The Vernee Mars Pro impresses with its slim and elegant design. It is housed in a body made of 6 Series aluminium. This is a product of 18 CNC-cutting and sandblasting processes. The result? A stylish phone you have little fear of slipping through your grasp. The thickness is just 7.6 mm.
Still in the package is the massive 5.5-inch display with Full HD resolution. You get an edge-to-edge feel with the very slim bezels. This is ample screen estate for content viewing.
Camera and Storage
You seem to get the same camera combo on the Vernee Mars Pro. On the reverse is a 13MP Sony sensor with dual tone LED flash and phase detection autofocus that achieves sure focus in little time. You will find a 5MP selfie snapper on the front for selfies.
Inbuilt storage improves to 64 GB. This will hopefully be expandable with a microSD card.
Performance and OS
The Vernee Mars Pro packs more punch than its brother as we expected. You get a more powerful eight-core MediaTek Helio P25 chipset. This also gets support from abundant 6 GB of RAM.
The Vernee Mars Pro has solid performance written all over it then. The phone comes with newer Android 7.0 Nougat operating system, which is in almost stock state.
Other Specs and Features
You get a 3,500mAh battery here, compared to the 3,000mAh unit that came with the Vernee Mars. This will hopefully receive support from the same fast charge technology that lets you get it to 50 percent capacity in just 30 minutes.
Vernee Mars Pro still rocks the fingerprint sensor positioned below the power button on the side. You can also expect the Mars Pro to come with a USB Type-C port like its brother from last year.
Pricing and Availability
Vernee Mars Pro is available in Nigeria, Ghana, and Kenya. The price starts at $213.99 at Gearbest. You can buy the smartphone at leading online stores in your country. Vernee Mars Pro Price in Nigeria is expected to range from 81,000 Naira to 125,000 Naira.
