Look at the Vivo Apex concept phone. Look again. What you don't notice are thick bezels around the top and side -- and just a thin one along the bottom.

This time, it takes up a larger area, which means you can do more with it.

You can unlock the phone at different angles, which gives you more flexibility with how you grip the phone.

To be precise, you're looking at a 1.8mm bezel on the top and sides, and a 4.3 mm on the bottom.

It's got a shiny glass backing.
