The vivo APEX 2020 is a special smartphone that created a lot of excitement when it was announced on February 28, 2020. As a concept phone, it showed off several advanced technologies but was never released officially for sale. For Bangladeshi buyers interested in the latest innovations, here’s all you need to know about the APEX 2020, its price situation, and whether it might be right for you.
APEX 2020 price in Bangladesh
As the APEX 2020 is a concept phone and was never officially released in any market, there is no official price for Bangladesh. An official price means the product is openly sold by the company, with warranty support and after-sales services. An unofficial price would mean the device is imported by local sellers without direct support from the official brand, but even this does not apply for the APEX 2020 since it was never made available to buy in any country. If you find anyone offering an APEX 2020 for sale, it is likely a display unit or a prototype, not a commercial product. The only available variant listed was with 12GB RAM and 256GB internal storage.
Key specifications
The vivo APEX 2020 features some very cutting-edge technologies for its time. It comes with a large 6.45-inch FHD+ display that curves at a 120° angle, a powerful Snapdragon 865 chipset, 12GB RAM, and 256GB storage. The main camera has a unique gimbal stabilization system and continuous optical zoom, while the front camera is hidden under the display. The phone supports fast 60W wireless charging and runs on Android 10. Additional highlights include advanced features like virtual pressure-sensing buttons and instant photo editing.
Display and design
One of the most striking things about the APEX 2020 is its 6.45-inch 120° FullView edgeless FHD+ display. This means the screen wraps around the sides, leaving almost no visible bezels. Combined with the under-display selfie camera, the phone offers an uninterrupted viewing experience. The design also includes virtual (pressure-sensing) buttons instead of physical ones, and sound comes through the display itself using vivo’s Screen SoundCasting technology, making it feel futuristic and minimalist.
Camera
The rear camera of the APEX 2020 is 48MP and stands out for its 5–7.5× continuous optical zoom. This is different from most phones, which use only digital zoom or two fixed levels. With this feature, you can zoom in and out smoothly while keeping high image quality. The camera also has gimbal stabilization for steadier photos and videos, and instant photobomb removal for quick editing. The front camera is a 16MP sensor hidden under the display, so there is no notch or punch-hole on the screen.
Performance and software
With the Snapdragon 865 chipset and 12GB of RAM, the APEX 2020 would deliver strong performance suitable for gaming, multitasking, or any professional use. It comes with 256GB of storage, enough for most users. The phone runs Android 10, and supports 5G networking (both SA and NSA), Wi-Fi 6, and Bluetooth 5.1, making it ready for the latest in wireless connectivity.
Battery and charging
The APEX 2020 features a battery of about 2000mAh capacity, which is smaller than most modern phones. However, it supports 60W wireless Super FlashCharge, which means you could recharge the phone very quickly using compatible wireless chargers. This is a unique feature not found on most devices.
Should you buy the APEX 2020?
The vivo APEX 2020 is a concept device made to showcase what’s possible in smartphone technology. It is not available for regular purchase in Bangladesh or anywhere else, so it is not a practical option for everyday buyers. If you are a collector or technology enthusiast hoping to find a prototype, be aware it may not be reliable for daily use. For everyone else, it makes more sense to look at other vivo smartphones like the vivo V27 Pro or vivo X80, which are available officially and offer strong features, service, and value.
