Vernee, a newcomer in the Chinese smartphone business, recently announced that it is partnering with American online transportation network company Uber Technologies Inc., in order to make the Vernee Thor a certified Uber smartphone.

The Chinese company did not provide any more information about the purpose of the new partnership, so it is unclear what exactly both companies are planning to do.

Specs-wise, the Vernee Thor will feature a 5.0-inch On-cell display screen with HD pixel resolution. The phone comes with a 13 megapixel camera on the back and a 5 megapixel camera on the front. Under the hood, the Thor packs a MediaTek MT6753 processor, 3GB of RAM, up to 16GB of built-in memory storage, and a 2,800 mAh battery.

As for Vernee's Apollo smartphone, it is expected to feature a 5.5-inch display screen with a 1,440 x 2,560 pixel resolution (Quad HD), and will come with the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system out of the box. It will have a 21 megapixel rear-facing camera and an 8 megapixel front-facing camera.

The most interesting part of this device is that it will have 6GB of RAM inside, MediaTek's latest Helio X20 chipset (MT6797) and 128GB of internal memory storage. Other specs include a fingerprint sensor, Force Touch, USB Type-C port and support for 4G LTE connectivity.
