Back in May vivo and FIFA signed a partnership
agreement that makes the Chinese phone manufacturer an official sponsor of the
next two World Cup tournaments. Less than a year before the 2018 event in
Russia posters of the new vivo flagship leaked on Weibo.
The images do not reveal much, but we clearly see an
18:9 display, similar to the Full Vision screen LG implemented in its flagship
G6. There are minuscule bezels on the sides and the top and bottom are kept
small too.
Over the phone renders a slogan says “The era of
full-screen” along with “Vivo X20 coming soon”. Surely we can argue if this is
a true full-screen, but the render looks similar to the live images we reported
last month.
Ultrasonic fingerprint scanning technology from
Qualcomm is going to appear first in vivo devices around the first quarter of
2018, so this might be a release date to look forward.
