hey everybody Robert Rosenthal from TechnoBuffalo I am here in Shanghai China for the launch of vivos latest flagship phone the NEX this is the phone the company says is the smartphone of the future now if the name vivo sounds familiar yes they are the same company we saw back in January at CES with a prototype of their bezel-less phone with the fingerprint reader built in under the display the same technology is here on their newest flagship phone along with a whole lot more the first thing you'll notice about this phone is that it has a truly edge to edge bezel as display that comes in at just under six point six inches and it's completely free of any obstructions there's not even a notch at the top then X has a 91% screen of audio ratio and in order to get that much display and so little bezel Evo how to get creative with the placement of the front-facing camera and their solution is quite clever when you activate the front-facing camera in the camera app the camera actually raises up from within the body of the phone itself it's really cool to see happen and it only takes about a second from you tapping on the front-facing icon in the camera app to the camera coming up and being ready to use this is a mechanical mechanism with moving parts but vivo says that they've tested this enclosure and drop and durability tests and they say the camera can be raised and lowered up to 50,000 times without any issues the display itself is a Super AMOLED panel and yes the next has the same under display finger of a reader built into the phone that we've seen before but this time it's a bit better than previous versions the new version of the fingerprint reading technology is a bit more forgiving of where you place your finger on the phone when you go to unlock it vivo says it has about a 50% higher recognition accuracy rate than the previous version had and it's also a bit faster it's still a little bit tricky to get set up initially but once it registers your fingerprint successfully it unlocks it very quickly and seems to work well all the other sensors you'd find on other smartphones are here in the necks as well they're just hidden under the display even the phone's speaker system is built under the screen and uses the entire display to vibrate and transmit sound to act like traditional smartphone speakers on the back of the phone you've got a dual vertically stacked camera system with one of those being a 12 megapixel F 1.8 shooter and the other five megapixels and a 2.4 on the bottom of the phone you'll find a USB C port for charging and on the top pay there's a headphone jack vivo has some of the latest and greatest silicon powering the necks inside of this thing is a snapdragon 845 processor and Adreno 630 GPU Hinn and all the graphics 8 gigs of ram and 256 gigs of an internal storage all fueled by a massive 4000 milliamp hour battery this phone is running on vivos fun touch OS which is based off of Android 8.1 Oreo and allows you to use kind of Android P iPhone 10 ask gesture styles to navigate around and access to four controls on the phone it also has its own smart assistant built-in named Jovi which seems to be the company's equivalent to Bigsby dedicated button and all in my brief hands-on time with this phone I have to say that the phone feels incredibly premium and well built and the massive bezel is display is incredibly immersive and I don't usually mind the notch on my iPhone 10 or other Android flagships that I'm testing but once you use a phone that has nothing on the screen to distract you it's difficult not to see it becoming a trend adopted by other manufacturers and something you're just gonna want as you're pricing and availability the next is initially only going to be on sale in China no word yet on expansion to other markets like Europe or the US and that flagship version with 256 gigs of internal storage he's retailing for the equivalent of about 780 US dollars so what are your thoughts on this newest phone from vivo the idea of a bezel list notch list phone with a fingerprint reader built and under the display has long been the dream of so many and now that this concept phone has officially become reality are you guys interested in picking one up leave a comment down below and let us know and also let us know if you guys want us to do a full review on this vivo next I am Robert Rosenthal from TechnoBuffalo thank you so much for watching I'll see you in the next one
