Vivo Nex S Design (Leaked)
The image went on to reveal some key elements of the Nex S design. The renders show the phone with an all-display fascia with minimal bezel at the bottom but nothing on top (no bezel or notch). The visible fingerprint symbols on the screen make it likely for the handset to feature an in-display fingerprint sensor, just like Vivo X21.
From the rear, the Vivo Nex S can be seen sporting a dual-rear camera with LED flash on the top-right corner, Nex branding in the middle, and Vivo name at the bottom. The power button and volume rocker can be spotted on the right edge of the phone.

Back then, the phone, in prototype, made headlines for its retractable front camera, 98 percent screen-to-body ratio and an in-display fingerprint sensor that can be accessed by tapping anywhere on the bottom half of the screen.
