What Do You Know About The Vivo Apex Phone Concept?

We actually thought we saw all the dope tech at CES this year. Remember Vivo? A At Mobile World Congress last month, Vivo introduced the Apex — a concept phone packed with a bunch of unique features. At the time, it could not say whether or not the public would be able to get their hands on it. According to my sources the phone will be released by late 2018 or early 2019.

What makes this phone so special?

The Apex phone is the perfect size. It fitted in our palm precisely, and didn’t require too much stretching to use one-handed. However, the software was a highly customized version of Android with some successful tweaks — like flicking up open apps to close them from the pull-up menu bar — and some less so, such as the iOS-esque notification shade. But the software wasn’t the focus, and when you hold the great-looking, Apex everything else gets forgiven.

Its big 6-inch OLED screen stretches to all edges of the phone, pushing the bezel-less look to the extreme. Its front-facing camera is embedded inside the phone and pops out of the body from the top like a piece of toast from a toaster. In lieu of speakers, the phone’s screen vibrates to create a richer and louder sound. Lastly, the phone scans your prints directly on the display, and it can scan two fingers at the same time for extra security.
