Vivo unveiled two new smartphones – the Vivo Apex 2020 concept flagship and the Vivo Z6 5G is mid-range model with the obvious 5G connectivity.

The phone features an under-screen 16MP selfie camera which only appears when in use. The dual-lens rear camera setup includes a primary 48MP periscope camera with quad-directional OIS – this provides 200% increase in performance compared to standard OIS solutions.
