Smartphone makers have found a number of ways to offer larger and shrink the bezels around it. One of the common ways to do so is adding a notch but smartphones like Vivo NEX and Oppo Find X differ that notion. The NEX’s marquee feature is the pop-up selfie camera which comes out of an enclosure only when you need it. It is a cool trick and worthy of praise when you see for yourself.

Samsung struggled to make Bixby available alongside the Galaxy S8 launch last year and its assistant is yet to match the level of Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. It is not immediately clear how better Bixby will be on the smart speaker and how Samsung plans to stand out in this space.
