Featuring world's first Half-Screen In-Display Fingerprint
Scanning Technology plus engineering breakthroughs in camera,
speaker and sensors
SHENZHEN, China, Feb. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivo is
unveiling its new APEX™ FullView™ concept smartphone which sets new
benchmarks for future smartphone design, featuring the world's
highest screen-to-body ratio and Vivo's ground-breaking Half-Screen
In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology.
In pushing the boundaries of mobile experience, Vivo has taken
its FullView™ technology to a whole new level by introducing new
engineering breakthroughs in camera, speaker and sensor elements as
well as rethinking the design structure of conventional
smartphones. Vivo's pioneering approach in fingerprint scanning
technology has resulted in the world's first Half-Screen
Fingerprint Scanning Technology on APEX™, building on the success
of industry's first mass-produced In-Display Fingerprint Scanning
Smartphone X20 Plus UD.
"APEX™ is an iteration of our constant pursuit of setting new
industry standards and to deliver the ultimate mobile experience,"
Alex Feng, Senior Vice President of
Vivo said. "From breakthroughs in audio, photography to In-Display
Fingerprint Scanning Technology, Vivo has remained committed to
realizing our vision for future smartphones. What we showcase in
this concept phone is only a fraction of our innovation pipeline.
We will continue to explore all possibilities to bring the best
possible experiences to our consumers."
New Structural Design that Takes Bezels to the Limit
The APEX™ features unprecedented top and side bezels of
1.8mm--the thinnest in the industry, with a 4.3mm bottom bezel. The
screen-to-body ratio will exceed 98% if the bottom bezel reaches
1.8mm, ultimately creating truly bezel-less experience. Thanks to
the flexible OLED platform, microchips mounted directly to the
flexible circuit board enables the APEX™'s staggering
screen-to-body ratio.
Leveraging its accumulated expertise in audio technologies, Vivo
introduces Screen SoundCasting Technology with APEX™, transforming
the entire FullView™ Display into a speaker. The Screen
SoundCasting Technology sends vibrations through the display
without the need for a traditional loudspeaker. Compared to other
audio solutions for bezel-less smartphones, it conserves power,
reduces sound leakage, and optimizes low to high pith sound for a
better and more balanced audio experience.
In keeping with the promise to continuously support user habits,
APEX™ also features an 8MP Elevating Front Camera. The camera
seamlessly rises in 0.8 seconds when it is required and retracts
after use. Together with the hidden proximity sensor and ambient
light sensor, this eliminates the space taken up by conventional
front cameras, while offering the same selfie experience to
users.
World's First Half-Screen In-Display Fingerprint Scanning
Technology
Following the success of In-Display Fingerprint Scanning
Technology at CES 2018, Vivo has installed the world's first
Half-Screen In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology in the
APEX™. Transforming the entire bottom half of the OLED screen,
users can touch anywhere on the bottom half of the screen to
perform fingerprint recognition, enabling a more flexible and
intuitive experience while meeting industry standards for
security.
Half-Screen In-Display Fingerprint Scanning Technology also
enables new usage scenarios, such as the new dual-fingerprint
scanning feature in APEX™ for even greater strengthened
security.
Optimal Hi-Fi Quality, a Feast to the Ears
APEX™ deploys a new System in Package (SIP) technology to
integrate the DAC and the three operational amplifiers together,
reducing the need for circuit board space by nearly 60% compared to
previous Xplay6. As this frees up more space in the smartphone's
interior, this technology can allow for increased battery size as
well as cooling, thus opening potential for even more design
improvements in future smartphones.
