Vivo has revealed via its official flagship store Weibo account that it would be launching a new Z-series smartphone dubbed Vivo Z1 soon. The smartphone is going to be a thousand yuan machine which means it is a low-end mid-range model but the post teases the device as coming with a surprise in that the smartphone will beat our imaginations.
The Vivo Z series is a new series which will have the Z1 as its first model. The X series is Vivo’s flagship series, the Y series houses budget models and the new Z series is likely to fall in-between, joining the V series which is also a midrange series. From the render on the poster accompanied the Weibo post, we can gather that the Z1 will come with a full-screen design. The design also includes a notch at the top which will house the selfie camera and earpiece. That means the device will have a 19:9 aspect ratio. If the device comes out as it is on the poster, we could be looking at high screen ratio of up to 90% or more. The bezels at the top at off as a result of the notch while the bottom bezel is ultra-thin.
