Over the past two years, we were notably fed by various "lackeys." Many manufacturers under this word began to understand more elongated than the classic 16: 9 screens. The frame while maintaining a very good size ...
Vivo decided to go the other way, releasing a smartphone with a minimal frame. 98% of the front panel is a 6-inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2160 × 1080 pixels. Once again: ninety-eight percent. The iPhone X slightly less than 82%, the Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 slightly more than 82%. And here 98%. And it looks, at least, impressive:
The back panel is also minimalistic: a vertical dual camera module and a Vivo inscription. There is no scanner. It, like in the Vivo X20 Plus UD, is under the screen. In this case, Apex has an improved version of the sensor: it occupies the entire lower half of the display. The technology works a little slower than the usual fingerprint sensor, but the smartphone is only 0.7 seconds to understand that it's the owner's finger. In this case, the smartphone will be able to remember your two fingers. Theoretically, this increases the security of data.
It was not without design features that can be perceived in two ways. Due to the large screen / front panel ratio, there is no room for an 8-megapixel front camera. Therefore, she now leaves the hull, just like a periscope. Well, that ... At least because the camera needs some time to "appear". And to break off the retractable elements is much easier than monolithic.
No room left for the speaker. Therefore, the sound during a conversation is transmitted not through it, but through vibrations. This technology was implemented in Xiaomi Mi Mix. This business is pure and rich. For the sound, by the way, the dedicated audio chip answers.
Vivo does not disclose the technical details of Apex. It's also unknown when a smartphone will be on sale.
