Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The More Affordable All-Screen Smartphone…”.
So the wild world of smartphones continues to get more interesting, especially in the department of screen to body ratios and so-called bezel lists smartphones, one of the major players in that space vivo, who first showed us the idea in the form of the apex. I made a video about it. It was a concept phone that started to get us thinking about what futuristic phones might look like so in front of me today, I’ve got the vivo necks and this is the retail version of the concept device, the apex ooh. This carries forward the in display fingerprint scanner ooh.
So there’s the phone interesting pattern on the back there. I don’t know if you guys can see that there’s a bit of a color shift, it’s a glass back, so it does have a glossy finish to it. You can see the camera unit up here, so it is a dual lens setup, with a flash underneath type-c connector on the bottom, no not on the top.
But first we have a case included. Alright, very nice. Let’S get to the main attraction, so there it is. There is a bit of a bezel along bottom, but it isn’t much.
We have nothing, no knotch, no obstructions of any kind. There’S what your full screen display looks like now, something you’ll notice along the bottom. Here is these three indicators, and that is how you’re going to navigate the phone you’re all curious about the camera. If I flip around to the front boom.
Listen to this that camera is rated to go up 50,000 times, see myself, I’m not taking selfies that frequently 50,000, it’s a lot of selfies will. Would you agree, there’s something so captivating about watching that little camera raise up. So I told you already that this takes. You home the simple swipe up.
If you push and hold you get into the multitasking swiping on the right button, takes you back and then on this side, it’ll bring up your quick toggle settings now you know I got a test, the selfie camera. It is so fancy, but does it do the trick detail detail that is a work of art, Leonardo da Vinci van Gogh? Ah Picasso II Rembrandt. So that’s an F 2.0 eight megapixel image right there, okay say hi, that’s a hilly hoo-ha right there, that’s his full name, it’s on his birth certificate. He didn’t want me to tell you check the birth certificate mistake that 1080 by 23 16, and it’s also of course OLED 12 megapixel, F, 1. Point 8 and 5. Megapixel. F.
2. Point 4! Ok, here we go register the fingerprint it is scanning through the display. Here we go, oh man that satisfied BAM. Now it is worth mentioning on the apex. I had a huge region that I could tap on. It’S simply difficult from a cost perspective to put that into a retail device right now. Unlocking your device is a thing that you do multiple multiple, multiple times a day, we’ll how many times you unlock your device per day hundred plus Hilli, who daily doo-dah day jack.
How many times you unlock your phone daily. You do the same as well. What are you doing on your smartphone man? Nonetheless, here we have an interesting package. Now the fingerprint scanner you’re gon na get used to that location. You’Ll likely get better at it can’t wait to see the full concept version that I tested on the apex boiled down into something retail. Oh, how big is the battery will 4,000 and now, of course, the important consideration price.
Can you tell me the price? Will he do welcome to come over here, come on come on? Okay, err! This is six point. Five! Nine inches you kidding me. Are you kidding me, that’s a lot of screen. Will he do for scale the price? Well, he knows he does the research. He stays up at night. That’S him! He knows these things, uh they don’t sell in the States. Apparently that is terrible. The cool part here is that for 998 RMB, depending on when you do the conversion or when you watch that that’s around seven hundred and eighty bucks, but if you don’t need the Mac storage, you go to the 128. The conversion on that 700 bucks. 700.
Bucks. A Snapdragon, a 4/5 you’ve got the end screen fingerprint scanner. You got eight gigs of ram up to 256 gigabytes of storage and you’re, starting at seven hundred four thousand milliamp hour battery and the screen is six point. Five nine inches and you have Willie do for scale. I don’t know I might even put a sim card in it. How about that? I might even put a safeguard .
