Looks good but not practical.
Imagine if it had a bootloop or serious error, and you need to force restart. Oh wait, you probably can't force restart it because all the buttons are capacitive and don't work. You'll be basically stuck with a useless brick.

Gary, 24 Jan 2019Huawei and BBK are now leading innovationBBK is a non-entity in smartphone business. Vivo and Oppo are two completely independent companies, not related in any way at the operational level. The fact that Vivo and Oppo came into being under the umbrella ownership of BBK at different time is an historical accident. BBK is essentially a collage of several unrelated companies and they are not run as a part of the same cooperation at all. On the other hand, Oppo owns OnePlus and Realme, and these three companies are related at some level of their operation.

It's getting pretty stale out there in phone world, with innovation seemingly absent from user interface and just work on making more of the same with LSD trip colour scheme and a pressure to make the same thing bigger and more expensive.

20 years ago, my flip LG had magnetic ports to charge, and it went on a cradle. nothing new here.

Definitely not a 'sexy' device, maybe it's the color that ruins it but it's missing something.

Main concern being ADB tbh, especially for those who likes to modify their RAM or anything like that. Otherwise most of the ppl wouldn't be caring bout that tbh.
Still, am really asking whether this is the future or not. Maybe we're goin back to the point where smartphones takes anything more than a slab . . .
Let's say, BIIRUUUDDOOOO UUUPPPP!!!!! ? (Kamen Rider Build references) :v

Opening 2019 with a big bang, Vivo sounds like a leader, walks like a leader, and is backed by real technology.

Magnetic Connector Charging Method? That reminds me of the old-classic charging method provided by Sony on the early-days Xperia Z flagship lineup (Z to Z3 series).
BTW, this phone does look sleek, futuristic, great specifications, and minimalist. But, I wonder how the practically the usage for this phone would be, as there are no conventional/traditional buttons, ports, slot, but rather new-approach like U12+. Let's wait and see...
