This phone comes ready for the futuristic battle. It is a concept phone and we can only hope that it comes to see the light of day. With that said, here are three things stand out for me on this phone. The 120-degree display screen, the stable cameras and the superfast wireless charging.​

Right off the bat, the most prominent feature one will notice on the Vivo Apex 2020 is its display.APEX 2020 has a 120° FullView Edgeless Display that removes side edges and bezels from the front view. Vivo has achieved this in pursuit of a truly FullView Display and Super Unibody design.

The screen is wrapped in a 6.45-inch curved display that bends at an angle of up to 120° on both sides. This helps remove side edges and bezels from the front view and results in an ultra bezel-less display.

Alongside the under-display, there’s an ‘invisible’ selfie camera that allows Vivo to offer a completely immersive viewing experience. The notch on the top and the chin on the bottom are barely noticeable while the sides are wrapped by the display. It also means that the company has achieved a very high screen to body ratio.

Well for starters this display looks beautiful in my opinion. Think of it as one of those infinity pools that just seamlessly go on without ‘having an end.’ However, the more I think about it the lesser it makes sense. I mean it’s fantastic and all but what happens when you drop it? What kind f case do you get this pone? How many times do you even use the side of your screen? It’s something to think about before getting this phone.

Cameras with Hella Stabilization

APEX 2020 comes with Continuous Optical Zoom, becoming the world’s first smartphone equipped with high-magnification continuous zoom. It can achieve continuous optical zoom under high magnifications between 5x-7.5x and produce images in high resolution and quality rather than filling focal lengths through digital magnification.

APEX 2020 is equipped with a “4-group lens combination” with two groups fixed and two groups movable, which achieves high-magnification continuous zoom and real-time focus at one time.

Vivo successfully embeds a gimbal-like structure into APEX 2020’s main camera after long-term technical development and multiple experiments. It achieves optical stabilization in the front-back and left-right inclined directions with enhanced performance. Lab tests demonstrate that compared to the traditional OIS system, its stabilization angle is 200% extended.

This feature greatly reduces the blurring caused by a shaky hand. Users can also enjoy videography with smoothness.

There is No Charging Port on The Vivo APEX 2020!

The APEX 2020 has taken a leap of faith and features the revolutionary Vivo Wireless Super FlashCharge 60W. This, in theory, recharges a handset with a 2000mAh battery in only 20 minutes. That does sound insane but does that mean I’ll have to walk around with my charger everywhere? If I forget it then that’s that? The charging port is not something I’m ready to lose.
