Taking unibody design to the extreme, the refreshed Apex has all of 2019’s buzziest specs.
Vivo has given a very 2019 makeover to the Apex concept phone it first unveiled last year. The new version has a minimalist design with no openings or bezels, and supports 5G, the next generation of cellular technology, which has the potential to increase connectivity speeds significantly. The prior incarnation of the Apex evolved into the Vivo Nex, which debuted last July.
The new Apex will be among the first wave of phones — which will also include the forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S10 — to come equipped with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 855. In addition to the usual performance boost, the new chip is partnered up with the company’s X50 modem that will connect phones with the super-fast 5G network launching in the US later this year.
