Being able to swipe down on the rear fingerprint sensor was a great way to quickly access your notifications without having to reach up to the top of your phone, but that's not possible with in-display sensors.
Nearly three months after the launch of the V17 Pro, Vivo has now launched yet another impressive V-series smartphone for the Indian market.
Vivo's upcoming X30 and X30 Pro smartphones will have a "Super Telephoto Periscope" lens, offering up to 60x zoom capability.
Vivo has launched the first phone with a dual front retractable camera module. There are two sensors at the front — a 32MP joined by an 8MP wide-angle lens — and four cameras around the back. You also get decent hardware and a massive 4100mAh battery.
Vivo's NEX 3 has a 6.89-inch OLED Waterfall FullView display that curves along the edges, leading to a 99.6% screen-to-body ratio. The phone has the latest internal hardware available today, and a 64MP camera at the back.
Vivo's upcoming NEX 3 will be the first smartphone to have a near 100% screen-to-body ratio.
Vivo has released a short video on Weibo teasing its first phone with a 'waterfall screen' and claimed 99.6% screen-to-body ratio.
A new leak claims Vivo's next NEX flagship smartphone will have an 'over 100%' screen-to-body ratio and a near 90-degree curve on both sides of the display.
Xiaomi showed off a 100W fast charging solution earlier in the year, and now Vivo is getting in on the action with a 120W Super FlashCharge tech that fills a 4000mAh battery in just 13 minutes.
The U.S. may be the world's largest smartphone market, but it's not the most exciting. With Chinese brands effectively ignoring the country, customers are missing out on some of the latest innovations in phone design.
Vivo's latest Apex proof-of-concept phone eliminates all buttons and ports for a seamless, all-glass design. As impractical as it sounds, I'm not convinced the concept is inherently flawed.
Vivo's FuntouchOS continues to be a blatant copy of iOS, and the company needs to change that before it can start selling phones in Western markets.
With no openings and virtually no bezels at the front, the Vivo Apex 2019 takes smartphone design to a new level.
Vivo was one of the first manufacturers to roll out a phone with a mechanised slider in the first-gen NEX, and for its latest effort the manufacturer is going with a dual-screen design.
With an in-display fingerprint sensor and a retractable front camera, the Vivo NEX is one of the most innovative phones of 2018.
The OnePlus 6 is the more practical choice, but the Vivo NEX is so much fun.
Vivo unveiled the innovative NEX a month ago in China, and the phone is now making its way to India. The NEX is now up for pre-order on Amazon India for ₹44,990.
The Vivo NEX and Find X are two of the best options if you're looking for a truly bezel-less phone.
The Vivo X21 is one of the best phones the company has launched to date. The in-display scanner isn't quite as fast as fingerprint readers available today — but it is a novel feature, and one that isn't available on most phones in this category.
Some have dismissed these movable structures for hiding cameras as a fad and poor attempt at being innovative. I see it somewhat more pragmatically — this is a necessary development to give customers everything they want.
