Introduction to Vivo's Latest Flagship Phone, the NEX

Hello everybody, Robert Rosenthal from TechnoBuffalo, and welcome back to our channel! I'm here in Shanghai, China, for the launch of Vivo's latest flagship phone, the NEX. This is the phone that the company says is the smartphone of the future, and I have to say, it's certainly a device that's got a lot of interesting features.

The First Impression: Edge-to-Edge Bezel with No Notch

The first thing you'll notice about this phone is its edge-to-edge bezel display, which comes in at just under six point six inches. What I mean by edge-to-edge bezel is that there's virtually no bezel at all - only a tiny sliver of plastic or metal around the edges of the screen. This is a result of Vivo's clever design and engineering, where they've managed to fit almost no frame around the display itself. There's also no notch on top of this phone, which is quite remarkable considering how popular notches have become in recent times.

Screen-to-Body Ratio: A Record-Breaking 91%

Vivo has achieved an incredible screen-to-body ratio with this phone, where a whopping 91% of the display is actually usable space. This means that most of your time spent on the phone will be interacting with the screen, rather than staring at empty space around it. To put this into perspective, if you were to take this phone and compare it side-by-side with an iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S series device, the bezel would look tiny - almost nonexistent.

Creative Solution for Front-Facing Camera Placement

To make room for the front-facing camera, Vivo has come up with a clever solution. When you activate the camera in the app, the camera actually rises from within the body of the phone itself. This is made possible by a mechanical mechanism that allows the camera to move independently from the rest of the device. It only takes about a second for the camera to rise and become ready for use - an impressive feat considering how much engineering went into making this happen.

Durability Testing: The Camera Can Be Raised and Lowered 50,000 Times

Vivo has put their new front-facing camera through rigorous durability testing, where it was subjected to being raised and lowered 50,000 times. According to the company, the camera can withstand this amount of stress without showing any signs of wear or tear. This is an impressive achievement, especially when you consider how delicate some camera mechanisms can be.

Display: A Super AMOLED Panel

The display on this phone is a Super AMOLED panel, which provides excellent color accuracy and contrast. This means that the colors on your screen will look rich and vibrant, while also being energy-efficient to boot. With an almost bezel-free design, Vivo has managed to create a viewing experience that's simply exceptional.

Fingerprint Reader: Improved Recognition Accuracy

Vivo has improved their fingerprint reader technology in this latest flagship device. According to the company, this new version can recognize fingerprints with 50% higher accuracy than before. This means that your phone will be able to unlock faster and more securely, thanks to a more advanced biometric system.

Smartphone Sensors: All Hidden Under the Display

Vivo has cleverly hidden all of the smartphone sensors - including the speaker system, GPS, and heart rate monitor - under the display itself. This not only creates a sleeker and more futuristic design but also reduces the risk of damage to these sensitive components. The company claims that this design also helps improve the overall durability of the phone.

Camera: Dual Vertically Stacked Modules

The camera on this phone is dual vertically stacked, which means it has two separate lenses with different focal lengths. One lens is a 12-megapixel sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, while the other is a 5-megapixel depth-sensing module. This setup allows for more advanced features like portrait mode and bokeh effects.

Charging: A Massive 4000mAh Battery

Vivo has equipped this phone with a massive 4000mAh battery, which provides all-day battery life without needing to be charged too often. With an efficient processor and power-saving features, you can expect to get at least two full days out of this device before needing to recharge.

Software: FunTouch OS Based on Android Oreo

The phone runs on Vivo's custom operating system, FunTouch OS, which is based on Android 8.1 Oreo. This means that you'll still have access to the latest Android features and updates, as well as some exclusive Vivo features like gestures and shortcuts. The software is intuitive and easy to use, making it perfect for a wide range of users.

Smart Assistant: Jovi, Vivo's Equivalent to Bigby

Vivo has also developed its own smart assistant, which they've called Jovi. This assistant offers similar functionality to other Android smart assistants, such as Google Assistant or Samsung's Bixby. With Jovi, you can perform tasks like sending messages, setting reminders, and making calls with just your voice.

Pricing: The Flagship Version Will Retail for $780

The flagship version of the NEX will retail for around $780 in the United States. Considering its impressive specs and features, this is quite a bargain - especially when you consider that similar devices from other manufacturers can cost upwards of $1000 or more.

is the smartphone of the future now if the name vivo sounds familiar yes they are the same company we saw back in January at CES with a prototype of their bezel-less phone with the fingerprint reader built in under the display the same technology is here on their newest flagship phone along with a whole lot more the first thing you'll notice about this phone is that it has a truly edge to edge bezel as display that comes in at just under six point six inches and it's completely free of any obstructions there's not even a notch at the top then X has a 91% screen of audio ratio and in order to get that much display and so little bezel Evo how to get creative with the placement of the front-facing camera and their solution is quite clever when you activate the front-facing camera in the camera app the camera actually raises up from within the body of the phone itself it's really cool to see happen and it only takes about a second from you tapping on the front-facing icon in the camera app to the camera coming up and being ready to use this is a mechanical mechanism with moving parts but vivo says that they've tested this enclosure and drop and durability tests and they say the camera can be raised and lowered up to 50,000 times without any issues the display itself is a Super AMOLED panel and yes the next has the same under display finger of a reader built into the phone that we've seen before but this time it's a bit better than previous versions the new version of the fingerprint reading technology is a bit more forgiving of where you place your finger on the phone when you go to unlock it vivo says it has about a 50% higher recognition accuracy rate than the previous version had and it's also a bit faster it's still a little bit tricky to get set up initially but once it registers your fingerprint successfully it unlocks it very quickly and seems to work well all the other sensors you'd find on other smartphones are here in the necks as well they're just hidden under the display even the phone's speaker system is built under the screen and uses the entire display to vibrate and transmit sound to act like traditional smartphone speakers on the back of the phone you've got a dual vertically stacked camera system with one of those being a 12 megapixel F 1.8 shooter and the other five megapixels and a 2.4 on the bottom of the phone you'll find a USB C port for charging and on the top pay there's a headphone jack vivo has some of the latest and greatest silicon powering the necks inside of this thing is a snapdragon 845 processor and Adreno 630 GPU Hinn and all the graphics 8 gigs of ram and 256 gigs of an internal storage all fueled by a massive 4000 milliamp hour battery this phone is running on vivos fun touch OS which is based off of Android 8.1 Oreo and allows you to use kind of Android P iPhone 10 ask gesture styles to navigate around and access to four controls on the phone it also has its own smart assistant built-in named Jovi which seems to be the company's equivalent to Bigsby dedicated button and all in my brief hands-on time with this phone I have to say that the phone feels incredibly premium and well built and the massive bezel is display is incredibly immersive and I don't usually mind the notch on my iPhone 10 or other Android flagships that I'm testing but once you use a phone that has nothing on the screen to distract you it's difficult not to see it becoming a trend adopted by other manufacturers and something you're just gonna want as you're pricing and availability the next is initially only going to be on sale in China no word yet on expansion to other markets like Europe or the US and that flagship version with 256 gigs of internal storage he's retailing for the equivalent of about 780 US dollars so what are your thoughts on this newest phone from vivo the idea of a bezel list notch list phone with a fingerprint reader built and under the display has long been the dream of so many and now that this concept phone has officially become reality are you guys interested in picking one up leave a comment down below and let us know and also let us know if you guys want us to do a full review on this vivo next I am Robert Rosenthal from TechnoBuffalo thank you so much for watching I'll see you in the next onehey everybody Robert Rosenthal from TechnoBuffalo I am here in Shanghai
