Leaks of Vivo’s highly anticipated Nex smartphone seem to confirm what many have been hoping for: A smartphone with nothing on the front except the screen.
The leaks appear to show that the premium version of the handset will have an in-display fingerprint sensor and a selfie camera that physically pops out of the top of the device.
One of the leaks came from an unusual source: Vivo’s own website, which briefly showcased two of the upcoming models, revealing the standard Nex and a premium model called the Nex S. (There’s also expected to be a third version of the device, the Nex A, but that didn’t appear on Vivo’s website.)

As always, it’s worth taking these leaks with a grain of salt, but the images seem to confirm another much-hyped feature of the device. The lack of a fingerprint sensor on the rear of the Nex S device means it likely sports an in-display fingerprint reader -- another coup for the Chinese smartphone manufacturer which already used the technology in its X21 phone.
But we’re still left with one question: How big the in-display fingerprint scanner will be.
