The images don’t show much and it’s except the corners of the phone, but the design does look clean and minimalistic with a unique liquid metal finish. A few people have speculated that the device might not even contain any physical buttons and might feature an all screen design.
The location of the front camera and sensors is still something we are unsure about. One can take away from this image that the phone might have a liquid metal chassis which does mean less weight and more rigidity. All in all, “The Waterdrop” phone is one exciting piece of tech and we can’t wait to see what Vivo brings to the stage on 24th January.
