Vivo just launched it’s latest smartphone in China today. The phone is called Vivo Apex and it is unlike anything that I have seen before. The smartphone appears to be a piece of tech right out of a sci-fi film which is why it is being introduced as a “Concept phone”. Vivo has truly revolutionized the modern smartphone by incorporating a design that is both bold and ambitious. For starters, as the title suggests, the smartphone has no ports\/openings\/holes. It has no physical buttons either. The phone is a slab of metal and glass that reportedly feels unlike anything else when held. Sadly, according to reports, the phone is only meant for the Chinese market and will not come to international markets.<\/p>\n
In a press conference today in Beijing, Vivo launched its first ever minimalist designed smartphone, the Vivo Apex 2019. There is some confusion regarding the release of the smartphone but from what I have gathered, it seems that the phone has only been unveiled at an event today in Beijing and might see a release sometime in the future, however, that is not a certainty.<\/p>\n
There are no official statements from Vivo stating a possible release date which then brings us to the question, is the Vivo Apex even meant for a release. let alone a global release? The answer to the second bit is a clear no. Vivo will not be releasing this phone internationally even if they do release it in China. Vivo Apex 2019 is a concept phone that is meant to be a testimonial to the company’s innovative designing capabilities.<\/p>\n
