Speaking of the most impressive mobile phone in 2018, the vivo APEX is obviously the one that cannot be ignored. As a thorough concept machine, APEX has won unanimous high praise from domestic and foreign technology media. It can be seen how excellent this model is. Let's take a look at what's special about this model, which is famous for "unlocking the future".
Appearance drawing appreciation
Although vivo has clearly stated that APEX, as a concept machine, will not be put into mass production, but this does not affect the beauty of APEX. Its design aesthetics can be called the peak of vivo. The minimalist design style, coupled with the full texture of the back material, together constitute the phone of this futuristic explosive watch.
Of course, the most attractive visual feeling is that this screen accounts for a large proportion of the watch screen. This is also the most "full screen" product so far. There is no bangs, front camera or any other sensor holes on the front, so it also achieves the most perfect full screen.
The 5.99 inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2160 * 1080 has a screen proportion of up to 91%. In order to achieve such a perfect screen proportion, it uses full screen sound technology, replacing the top earpiece area with the vibration of the screen. As for the sensor, it uses ultrasonic distance measurement technology and hidden light sensors, which hide all of them under the screen, ensuring the basic functions without affecting the proportion of the screen.
To achieve such a simple design and such a perfect full screen, of course, it is necessary to have the function of fingerprint under the screen, which is also the meaning of its slogan "unlocking the future". Although it is not Vivo's first offline unlocking model, APEX has the largest offline unlocking area so far, commonly known as the half screen fingerprint unlocking technology. A large area in the lower half of the screen supports offline fingerprint unlocking, greatly improving its practicability. It is hoped that such offline unlocking technology can be applied to mass production models as soon as possible.
In order to increase the proportion of the screen as much as possible, vivo has chosen the elevating front camera solution. After switching to the front camera, the module rises slowly. It is not only full of science and technology, but also quite interesting and practical.
In addition to the chin width of 4.3mm, the width of the other three sides is only 1.8mm, which is also the most extreme data in active mobile phones.
The reason why the bottom edge is slightly wider may be that although it is a concept machine, it does not abandon any interfaces. The speaker opening, USB Type-C interface and 3.5mm headphone jack are reserved at the bottom. In this wave of "cutting headphone jack", vivo is very kind-hearted.
Although APEX is only a concept machine, its configuration is unambiguous. It is equipped with Snapdragon 845 SoC and 6GB of running memory. The system is based on the FutouchOS3.2 customized by Android 8.0, which is the flagship configuration in 2018. In terms of camera, it adopts a vertical dual camera similar to iPhone X, but does not specify the specific sensor model. In addition, because it may be just a concept machine, there is no fill light.
As a flagship model of vivo, HiFi is naturally indispensable. It uses a SIP packaged HiFi module, which is packaged by an independent DAC and three op amp chips. With such a luxurious audio configuration, it is expected that the 3.5mm headphone interface will be reserved.
Body details
In terms of details, the frame is made of metal, which is very rigid. Most of the interfaces are designed in a conventional way, except for the top, which is relatively special. In addition to the noise reduction microphone and infrared transmitter, there is an elevating front camera compared with ordinary models.
The interface at the bottom of the fuselage is relatively conventional, with symmetrical speaker openings, hidden call microphone, 3.5mm interface and USB Type-C interface. It is worth mentioning that this is Vivo's first mobile phone with USB Type-C interface. It is believed that Vivo's future product lines will gradually use USB Type-C to replace the existing Micro USB interface.
The right side of the fuselage is relatively clean, with only volume buttons.
On the left side of the body are the power button and SIM card slot. This round power button is very different from previous products of vivo.
APEX's SIM card slot design is also special. Different from the conventional dual card slot, the front and back of APEX can have one SIM card respectively, which can compress the internal space to the maximum extent.
