Vivo NEX is what you wanted the iPhone X to be

In February, Chinese smartphone maker Vivo invited me into its Mobile World Congress booth in Barcelona to show me the Apex, a concept phone that was essentially all screen on the front. With its slide-out selfie camera and in-display fingerprint sensor, it was the sort of thing you don’t expect to see on the shelves for years. 

And yet, here it is. On Tuesday, at an event in Shanghai, China, Vivo launched the NEX — essentially a polished, market-ready version of the Apex, with tons of rad new tech that make a notch-less, nearly bezel-less screen possible.
