Like Apex, the Nex avoids the now-ubiquitous display notch by employing an elevating selfie camera that pops out from the top edge of the phone when required. This allows the Nex to achieve a screen-to-body ratio of 91.24 percent, Vivo says, though there is still a slight \u201cchin\u201d at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n<p id=\"FdIGuk\">Further contributing to the bezel-less effect is Vivo\u2019s glass-vibrating \u201cscreen soundcasting technology,\u201d which replaces the earpiece speaker, and it sounded pretty good in my experience with Apex. The Nex also uses an in-display fingerprint sensor, but unlike Apex, it doesn\u2019t cover a large area of the screen. It sounds like the implementation is similar to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/circuitbreaker\/2018\/6\/11\/17448214\/vivo-x21-ud-in-display-fingerprint-sensor-review\">X21, which we found to be impressive in practice<\/a>\u00a0despite only working over a thumbprint-sized area. Vivo does say that its \u201cthird-generation\u201d sensor improves on speed, which was a slight caveat with the X21.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vivo has announced a new flagship device called the Nex, a phone that the Chinese company claims \u201cfulfills the bezel-less dream.\u201d The Nex is based on\u00a0Apex, the impressive concept phone\u00a0we saw at Mobile World Congress in February.
