I've received today and the below red case
Really nice and comfortable feels in hand I prefer it over stock case.
There's email also but I'm not aware of it.
Btw they answer and told me that that's the way it works only stock launcher and stock app have full screen area support and not able to support third party launcher and app.
Well actually it's not such an issue since secondary display majority of users and almost 98% will be used for selfie and stock camera app support full screen support.
For all the other dozens of usage people will use and take advantage of the main display.
Biggest issue is that Whatsapp does not support reply option through notification center pull down.
It's really annoying and told me that gone fix it in next software update.
This is issue with Chinese version I don't know if occur in global or not.

I have the Uk goblal version and the same problem than China version. Then we will wait for update
Since there's no dedicated thread of dual display version here is XDA and much less users have the device in western world there's a Vivo dedicated forum that we can find useful info and feedback from chinese users(im using automated translate page option in Chrome desktop to english)
http://bbs.vivo.com.cn/forum-376-1.html
For example here's a topic made by user mention the issue with secondary diplay and third party app.
http://bbs.vivo.com.cn/thread-4238902-1-4.html
Here's official responce from Vivo support about that matter.
"At present, there are still more third-party software that cannot be displayed in full screen. It is necessary to wait for the software to adapt, and we will actively promote third-party software adaptation."

After 3 whole days owning the Chinese version of Dual Display let's talk about my observations.
1.Screen is at good level,having nice color and being crisp and vibrant, also smaller bottom chin than Vivo Nex S, but it's not as bright as Vivo Nex S,also white tone has some slight uniformity with pinkish effects,while Vivo Nex has excellent white tone all across the screen.
2 Battery life seems at very good level despite smaller capacity(don't forget has smaller screen also compared to nex S)it's not top level like Vivo Nex but I doubt would anybody been disappointed.
Vivo has very good battery management and efficient software.
3.The mono speaker of Dual Display it's louder and having better quality.
4. The performance of calling receipt it's also a bit better with louder tone and clarity.
5. The device feels much comfortable in hand and much easier of working with one hand.
6. In display finger sensor it's very accurate and very fast of recognized your finger.
It's some milliseconds faster than Vivo Nex S performance.
7. I didn't had time for testing the camera performance so I can't tell how it perform.
That's my observations from hardware aspects.
Let's talk about software
1. For my positive surprised Vivo maintain the option of battery saver mode at location setting despite most oem follow Google guideline of removing that option with Android Pie.
2.Also Vivo add saperate ringing sound alarm from notification sound alarm in sound settings just like Samsung and LG offering today.
Respect to Vivo for adding such useful option.
3. Unfortunately Vivo has not improve AOD functionality at all.
No any kind third-party app notification support.
Really bad and shameful for them.
4. Fortunately all custom themes I use with my Vivo Nex S working brilliantly with dual display also.
5. There's a major whatsapp bug by not having any reply option through notification center.
I've talked with them and planing to fix it with future update.
Not much has changed with Fantouch 4.5 compared to 4.0 in UI look and feels.
That’s the most important parts of the device observation from my own personal view and compared to Vivo Nex S.

Does the front have a lip? It doesn't look like it protects the screen.
It does have a small highly gap so when putting the devices upside-down screen does not touch the surface.
The main screen does not have that protection.
Here's better viewings angle with secondary screen.

Hello friends, ARCore is not working in Next dual edition China version. Anyother method to sideload modified version. I saw Google post that global version is compatible with AR core but chinease version not. Any help appreciated. Is there any method to root?
Really strange since Vivo Nex S Chinese version is compatible with ARCORE.
Maybe in future time will be since Vivo Nex S was not at beginning but later get ARCORE support.
Personaly I don't care about that features it's useless to me.
BTW One issue had with Chinese dual display was that not getting notification with Gmail and Outlook app but only when checking manual and fortunately when switched to AquaMail or Blue Mail app all working brilliantly.
Also another negative is that all third party music player like Power Amp,Player Pro,N7 Player Pro does not support Luna ring notification light when listening music.
Only stock music player support which is bummer.
I will talk to Vivo support and hope future update resolve that.

Three things for getting notifications to work - sometimes!
1. Settings\Status bar and notification\Manage notification - select your app from the list and enable all notifications from there. Also if you see Notification, select and enable.
2. Settings\Battery\High background power consumption - Enable the app you're having notification problems from the list.
3. Settings\More settings\Applications\Installed - select app from the list - After you select the app from the list go to Permissions\Single Permission Settings\ select and enable Autostart, Floating window, Display on lock screen, Background pop-ups.

i can try it. Thanks bro. But my problem doesnt only notification. İ want use to my religion. But i think turkish language not supported.
Perhaps VIVO on Facebook can help you with the language. They have customer support using Facebook messenger.
You will also need uninstall Vivo battery management for getting notification working all time.
It's a adb command com.vivo.pem.
Instructions over here.

With Vivo smartphone it's not possible flashing global rom to Chinese version neither the opposite.
You are stuck to version you bought from beginning.
If want global rom you have to purchase global version.
