Vivo's new phone's appearance patent revealed: extremely narrow punch hole front camera and vertical quad-camera on the back

      After submitting the application on April 27 this year, vivo obtained the design patent from the National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) on August 25. The patent provided 8 product design sketches, showing a new vivo mobile phone that has not yet been released.

　　According to the patent illustrations, the screen border of this phone is very narrow, and there is a punch hole front camera in the upper right corner. And the punch hole of this front camera is very small, such as the V19 Neo we saw. The V19 Neo is equipped with a 32-megapixel sensor and is equipped with a super night scene mode.

　　The picture also shows that the screen of this phone is a curved screen. In fact, many high-end vivo models have already adopted curved screens, such as the NEX 3 launched in September last year, and the X50 Pro. However, there is no fingerprint sensor in the patent, so it should use an under-screen fingerprint sensor.

       According to the patent illustrations, the camera on the back of the phone is placed vertically in the middle, which has not been seen on other vivo phones before. The camera lens on the top is the largest, and two camera lenses can be seen below it, and then a narrow LED flash and another camera are placed just below it. So it is a four-camera system.

　　Two physical buttons can be seen on the right side of the camera, and one physical button is also placed on the left. There are no buttons or connectors on the top. At the bottom we can see a USB-C port, a microphone, and a speaker.
