Vivo Nex is world's first phone with pop-up selfie camera
What's the story
Vivo has launched two new flagship smartphones in China: Vivo Nex S and Vivo Nex A. The highlights of these phones are that they feature an in-display fingerprint sensor, pop-up selfie camera, and have a screen-to-body ratio of 91.24%. Further, Vivo has removed the earpiece speaker in the front and put it inside the screen, which broadcasts sound by sending vibrations through the display.
