VIVO LATEST PHONE APEX

VIVO APEX

VIVO mobile smartphone brand that was not so much a member of the mobile enthusiast group has now turned tables with their innovation in their devices. The brand in CES 2018 first handed in display fingerprint scanner for the first time. It was a topic on the trending page of the mobile for a quite surprising amount of time as it was not “Apple” it was not “Samsung” it wasn’t “Xiaomi” it was Vivo and boy oh boy the stuff that they featured was pretty amazing and got a lot of speculation on “Apple’s” idea of not including a fingerprint scanner at all in their “iPhone X”. This time Vivo is back and it’s back with a 99% screen to body ratio!! Say what 99%, note there iPhone boys. But it’s not a big deal that they have a 99% body ratio but how well they have integrated the things in the device.

NO NOTCH

Now the notch is a common thing in the smartphone market “Apple” made it and al followed it some people do not feature it as a design, not a flaw. But Vivo oh boy they created an almost bezel-less display without any form of notch and almost no bezel too. Well, what about the camera and the fingerprint scanner, the proximity sensor etc. you may ask well guys you will be surprised to know that all is embedded inside the screen. Now the screen is a flexible OLED 

panel with the chip sitting on it well it is quite a complex circuitry involved in it.

POP UP CAMERA

Gone are the days where there was always a camera staring at you while using a phone the camera is also flushed. It only appears when you want it too. It’s done by an embedded motor that lifts up the camera when front camera when needed. Now there is the pros and cons to this approach it brings up a secure way of handling a camera so no worry of hackers taking photos anonymously but the motor that’s built-in has to be strong on which must be optimized for a period of 3 to 5 years of time.

VIBRATING SCREEN

Well as I said the phone is bezel-less thus for the speaker the phone uses the screen. Yes, the screen vibrates to produce sound while playing a media file.

OPTICAL FINGERPRINT AND HEADPHONE JACK

Lack of a headphone jack in many flagships and lack of a fingerprint scanner in the iPhone made the users mad for over a year through the hate still continues the headphone “Jack” is yet to make a comeback in the market. Also, the fingerprint sensor got a huge hate for placing (Samsung ) it in the wrong place and even removing it all together (Apple), well Vivo has learned from its rivals and implemented both a headphone jack and an optical fingerprint sensor. It has a special functionality of having to fingerprints verified and recorded at once through the new concept has an array of applications but the optical fingerprint sensing is not full proof it’s prone to some security flaws. Though it’s very unlikely to cheat unless you are being chased by spies, cartel or C.I.A.

CAN YOU BUY IT

So now the big question with a phone packed with so many features many people want to get their hands on this device, but guys this device was showcased on MWC 2018 as an early hands-on working model. This still in design phase as the complex circuitry involved in the phone there is a question that will the people will be willing to pay the price of the device decided by the company. So let’s hope that this phone makes it to the main stream as it has brought a new revolution in the smartphone industry.
