Vivo has once again created a buzz around one of its smartphones. A few days after unveiling its Nex 3 (a smartphone with a nearly bezel-, notch- and button-free screen that covers a record 99.6% of its front side), the Chinese manufacturer is showing off the V17 Pro, the first-ever smartphone equipped with dual pop-up front-facing cameras.

The V17 Pro's most distinctive feature is clearly its dual front-facing camera, which pops in and out of the chassis thanks to a motorised mechanism. This feat, a first for the industry, also allows for large group selfies with its ultra-wide angle.
