On many occasions there is talk of the stagnation of the mobile phone industry to offer especially innovative solutions that break the routine. From time to time a company appears that wants to break with the established and go up two steps at once, something that can undoubtedly move the competition. Now it has been the firm alive, who has shown this progress with the new APEX 2020 live.
Vivo is preparing the landing in Europe, to arrive as a firm rival of Xiaomi, Realme, and even of OPPO itself , with whom it shares much of its DNA chain. Although not yet known in these parts, vivo is a world leader in technology that has powerful R&D research centers in Dongguan, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou, Taipei, Tokyo and San Diego. The company has more than 300 million users and its annual smartphone production volume is almost 200 million.

The perfect screen
Now, vivo has shown the new APEX 2020 Concept, a model of what they consider will be the near future of mobile telephony. It is striking that the device has a screen called FullView of 120º of 6.45 inches. This means that the screen curves completely on its sides, which completely eliminates the feeling of having some kind of frame, which is the battlefield of all manufacturers today. Most likely, this innovation will be a reality in the industry in the near future. In addition, the terminal removes any trace of physical buttons is virtual controls post.
Dual camera and real zoom
We see that the terminal breaks the established standard of filling a smartphone with sensors, with two rear cameras of 48 + 16 megapixels. In this sense, Vivo affirms that almost all the zoom solutions of great increase in the industry depend on the hybrid zoom. The APEX 2020 comes with Continuous Optical Zoom , becoming the first smartphone in the world equipped with continuous zoom of great magnification. That is, it allows to achieve magnifications between 5x-7.5x and produce images in high resolution and quality instead of completing focal distances through digital magnification.
Invisible selfies
Also striking is the arrival of the camera integrated in the screen, which makes the sensor invisible to the naked eye and offers a real all-screen design, without the need for notch, holes or emerging mechanical cameras. The company claims that APEX 2020 has successfully increased the transmission of screen light just above the front camera up to 6 times that of the other part of the screen. In addition, this 16MP front camera has a 4-in-1 super-pixel photosensitive chip , making it possible to capture clear images with the camera on the screen.
The best wireless charging
The terminal integrates the powerful Snapdragon 865 with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of internal memory. In addition, it has Super FlashCharge 60W technology, a new wireless charging system that recharges a phone with a 2000 mAh battery in just 20 minutes, offering a faster charging experience than conventional wired charging. Within the existing types of fast charging , we are facing the most powerful wireless variant seen to date.
When will we see it
At the moment there are no more details about this terminal, which puts us on the track of what I have in mind. This APEX 2020 serves as a letter of introduction and appetizer of what is to come when the firm downloads its entire arsenal in Spain and Europe.
