Vivo introduced its APEX FullView Concept Smartphone
with 98% screen-to-body ratio and an in-display fingerprint scanner at the MWC
in February last year. Later it introduced the phone as NEX and the new NEX
Dual Screen with a new design was unveiled last month. Today the company posted
a teaser for APEX 2019 bezel-less smartphone ahead of announcement on January
24th. This shows a more curved design without the front camera or even the
buttons on the sides.
In a teaser on Facebook earlier this week, the
company posted an image with a caption ‘Natural Perfection’. Recent renders of the phone
codenmaed “The Waterdrop” revealed a curved design without any notches, bezels,
or physical buttons. This is expected to feature gesture navigation and
pressure-based integration. It is also expected to feature large and improved
in-display fingerprint scanner , similar to what OPPO and Xiaomi showcased
earlier this week.
