Due to the cancellation of the Mobile World Congress, the unveiling of the Vivo Apex 2020 was delayed.
Now we know a lot more so lets find out whats actually going on here.

Vivo Apex 2020 Specs
It looks like the camera has come in for special attention.
This enables the camera to zoom in at a continuous zoom rate of 5x-7.5x.
This is all housed in a periscope design which is just 6.2 mm thick.
Extended phone sticks provide some sort of manual stabilization but they arent that great.
It weighs 169 grams and has a Snapdragon 865 processor.
All this is pretty much stock standard for a phone in 2020.
Exciting Features
A really impressive selling point is the stabilization system.
We all know how shockingly bad phone cameras are when movement is undertaken.
Up till now weve just accepted or bought something else.
What youre getting is a high priced mini camera which is housed in a phone.
There is an under-display selfie camera mounted in the frame as well.
But there are other attractions as well.
The 6.45 inch (16.3 cm) display is able to bend up to 120 degrees.
I suppose someone will put this to the test and post it in on Youtube.
But thats not the impressive bit.
Recharging takes only 20 minutes and does not require a cable.
Some features are more useful than others.
The Verdict
What were looking at here is a phone that represents refinement and not a revolution.
Convenience is always a key feature for any product and this feature delivers that.
However, there is a huge problem in the way that could curtail adoption in western markets.
Vivo is a Chinese company and in this era relations between China and western governments are not great.
