As leaked a few days ago, the vivo APEX 2019 is now official and it’s the company’s first ever 5G smartphone with without any ports and buttons.
The phone comes with the Super Unibody design with Curved-Surface Waterdrop Glass. Taking phone design to a whole new level with the minimalist concept. It sports a 6.39-inch AMOLED display that doubles up as a speaker by using Body SoundCasting technology.
Additionally, the phone also comes with the Full-Display Fingerprint Scanning technology, with a sensor covering almost the entire display. The Touch Sense technology replaces physical buttons, which uses capacitive touch and pressure-sensing, instead of standard power and volume buttons.
Furthermore, gone is the USB-C port, which is now replaced by a MagPort. It is a magnetic power connector with both charging and data transfer functionalities.
Powering the phone is the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 with up to 12GB RAM and 256GB storage. The phone also packs a 12MP + 13MP dual-camera setup on the back. Unfortunately, vivo hasn’t told anything about the selfie camera. We aren’t sure there’s even one.
The vivo APEX 2019 will be showcased at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2019 in February. Duly note that this is just a concept phone, which means probably it’s not going to release in the market in this exact way.
