Vivo X20 Plus UD was the world's first smartphone with a screen fingerprint scanner, and the next flagship Vivo can get a record-thin framework. The network leaked spy pictures of the alleged gadget. If, of course, this is not the next fake.

What was shown?

The display of the device in the photo actually occupies almost the entire front surface. Even for the front camera, there is no room left. Rumors ascribe to the smartphone one single module with a folding mechanism. Huawei used this design in the Honor 7i model of 2015. With the replacement of the speaker is still easier - the transmission of sound using glass vibrations has long been used in mobile devices (the first Xiaomi Mi Mix, for example).

In one image, you can see an application shortcut labeled Half Screen. Some users have suggested that this is a new technology of fingerprint scanner under the display, which recognizes the touch of fingers anywhere in the lower half of the screen. It sounds too good to be true, although such solutions may well appear in the future. Here JDI has already learned how to build in the sensors in the glass.

What else is known?

In previous leaks it was reported that Vivo is preparing the flagship Xplay7 with a 4K-display, 10 GB of RAM and a drive up to 512 GB (such modules are manufactured by Samsung). For the performance will be the top processor Snapdragon 845.

On the release date and the price of new items of information yet. If you confirm at least half of the rumors, it is worthwhile to focus on the price tag under $ 1000, like the iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy Note 8.
