Speaking about the entrance side of the slider, there is a speaker housing in the middle but no front digital camera is visible listed here. On the other hand, this can incredibly nicely be a placeholder style. The entrance style and design also displays the display with no notches and minimal bezels.

Vivo has been regarded for progressive models in the earlier. It was the 1st organization to undertake an in-display screen fingerprint sensor and also introduce the pop-up digicam layout. It is also known to experiment newer designs in its Apex and Nex lineup of smartphones and there is a chance that this slider camera style and design could be adopted in one particular of the two collection in upcoming.

The sliding system in smartphones, having said that, is not new to the sector. Earlier, businesses like Xiaomi, Oppo, Honor and Lenovo have all produced smartphones with a comparable style. But the style and design went off the radar quickly. This could be due to the sturdiness of the sliding system in the extended operate.

That currently being mentioned, many design patents are just patents, and the idea of a slider system could also be dropped by Vivo in the potential.
