These days, some of the most important new smartphone features and performance gains to be found have to do with AI-powered workloads. So it wasn't any surprise when Google and Qualcomm announced last year that they were planning to make the Neural Networks APIs that power those features on Android updateable via Google Play Services — one small part of Android's growing update modularity. At first, we thought those plans might have been abandoned when Google pushed through a series of commits to AOSP reverting changes tied to the feature, but the company now confirms the plans for a Play Store updatable API are still on.
Vivo wowed us at Mobile World Congress this year with its almost bezel-free Apex concept phone. Unlike so many other 2018 smartphones, this one had a screen that got all the way up to the edge without a notch. Now, the concept phone is a real device called the Vivo Nex. Try to control your lust, though. This phone is only launching in China.
We saw a lot of things at Mobile World Congress this year, but one of the wildest was the Vivo Apex. Even if the name isn't familiar, you've probably seen photos of it. This prototype phone was almost entirely screen, and it had a pop-up camera instead of a notch. Now, Vivo appears to be on the verge of launching the phone.
