Vivo APEX 2019 announced: Full-screen fingerprint unlock, Glass unibody, 5G, Snapdragon 855, 12GB RAM & Magnetic Charger

Vivo-APEX-2019.png


The Vivo APEX 2019 is all glass. No metal frame, just CNC machined glass much like some of Xiaomi‘s Mi MIX series which have an all-ceramic body. Vivo calls the design Super Unibody. The phone also doesn’t have physical buttons but touch-sensitive ones. There is also a “high-definition” linear motor to provide haptic feedback when using the buttons.

The phone has a 6.39-inch AMOLED display with a 2340 x 1080 resolution. It is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor which is paired with 12GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. The phone also has 5G with support for bands n41, n78, and n79. According to Vivo, 5G usage heats up the phone, so it used a combination of multi-layer graphite heat sinks and liquid-cooling technology to reduce the heat.
