Striking Vivo Nex 3 leak points to more than 100% screen-to-body ratio

Leaker Ice Universe has shared some details on what we could expect from the rumored Vivo Nex 3. The leaker posted a photo of a glass body, within which the phone would be housed, earlier today on Twitter (via The Verge). It suggests a novel new approach to smartphone design.
The glass housing would seemingly go around the entire phone, including the side edges, leaving only the top and bottom of the device open. Presumably, the top and bottom of the phone would include typical sensors and ports like a charge port and pin-hole mic. The display, however, would occupy the full front of the unit and offer a more than 100 percent screen-to-body ratio.
Screen-to-body ratio describes how much of the front-facing portion of the phone the display covers, so in this case, that would be the entire front plus a small portion of the sides as it curves around. Check it out below.

This is the biggest leak today！ This is the screen glass of the vivo NEX 3 (probably the name). It is almost 90° curved, the mirror of glass and glass forms the outline of the phone, it is very symmetrical and perfect.

Ice Universe said the phone wouldn’t have a display hole or notch, so there’s a question around where the front and rear cameras would be placed. In this scenario, these may be placed under the display (the technology is already in the works), though it could also be some sort of dual pop-up camera.

?How credible is the rumor

The original Vivo Nex from last summer arrived at the front of a recent trend of pop-up Android cameras; if a phone series was going to try to pull off something like this complete glass finish, the Nex series might be it.
The phone range being a good fit in no way means Vivo is actively working such a product, though, and Ice Universe isn’t always on-the-money when it comes to leaks.
While it is only a matter of time before we get truly bezel-free smartphones, this smooth, wraparound glass idea seems too ahead of its time to be legitimate. Then again, it’s possible that the smartphone is still more than a year away — if it’s actually coming.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know —...

UPDATE  1 : 2019/12/16 4:35AM PST Previous rollouts UPDATE  2 : 2020/01/06 2:15AM PST Canada Two weeks after the  Galaxy S10 line received its stable One UI 2.0 build , it’s time for the Galaxy Note10 and Note10+ to get the latest Android flavor. According to a report by  SamMobile , the two late-2019 Samsung flagships are receiving the Android 10 update in Germany, although the rollout is limited to a small group of beta testers.

Besides SamMobile, the confirmation also comes from  some Redditors  who got the update in Germany just a few hours back. The same Reddit users also mention that Google Pay remains broken even after installing this final Android 10 firmware, although it wasn’t immediately clear how widespread t...
