The Vivo Apex smartphone is equipped with a periscope 8MP ‘Elevating’ front-facing camera that pops-up from the top edge of the device in 0.8 seconds, the company says. The smartphone uses the Screen SoundCasting Technology, which sends vibrations through the display for producing sound. This technique, according to the company, consumes less power, reduces sound leakage, and optimises low to high pitch sound.
Most smartphone manufacturers are stuck with a notch on the top of their display until they figure out a way to go completely bezel-less. The notch houses the front-facing camera, sensors and the earpiece and no other smartphone manufacturer has been able to relocate this to expand the screen area to near 100 percent screen to body ratio, maybe except Lenovo.
