Yesterday, we talked about Meizu Zero, the Chinese smartphone with no bezels, ports, or buttons. Now, it’s time to debate the new concept smartphone of Vivo – Apex 2019. It would also be a portless and buttonless smartphone, relying on wireless charging and connectivity. Also, it would boast one interesting feature. Namely, Apex 2019 would come with a full-display fingerprint sensor.
“With the goal of enhanced usability and simplicity at the core, APEX 2019 offers consumers a glimpse into the future of smartphone design and development. The Super Unibody design and Full-Display Fingerprint Scanning technology, among several other breakthrough features, make APEX 2019 a truly exceptional smartphone that demonstrates Vivo’s continuous exploration and the pursuit of exceptional innovation for consumers,” said Spark Ni, Senior Vice President of Vivo, in the official press release.
“The device successfully delivers an unconventional smartphone experience by completely removing physical buttons – instead adopting Touch Sense technology, which brings together capacitive touch and pressure-sensing. With carefully designed programming logic and software, the pressure sensors can tell if a user is pressing the frame and the capacitive touch can determine its position, providing extra-sensitive accuracy,” the press release added.
Vivo Presented the Apex 2019 Portless and Buttonless Concept Smartphone
As Vivo reported, USB ports for charging and connection with other devices have been replaced by a MagPort, a magnetic power connector that’s useful for both charging this portless and buttonless concept smartphone and connect it to other devices. Surprisingly, Apex 2019 won’t boast the Qi inductive charging technology.
With the Body SoundCasting technology, Apex 2019 transforms its display into a huge speaker, while the Full-Display Fingerprint Scanning technology permit users to unlock their Apex 2019 smartphones with their fingerprints by tapping anywhere on the screen.
Also, Apex 2019 would be a 5G-compatible phone. “Vivo’s first 5G smartphone runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 855 platform with a super-large memory of 12GB + 256GB and is equipped with Jovi AI Assistant, along with many other smart functions. APEX 2019’s 5G mobile network capability enables an enhanced experience for video viewing, cloud gaming and a variety of other user scenarios,” the official press release indicated.
