#slide out smartphones

The slide-out design is not new in the world of mobile phones and was implemented years ago to hide the physical keyboard. Vivo NEX S Vivo was one of the first brands to introduce the slide-out design in a smartphone this year. Its standout feature though is the slide-out front-facing camera at the top. Unlike the NEX that only hides the front camera, the Find X's stealth camera hides the front and rear cameras in a single slide-out module. It doesn't have a fingerprint scanner and instead uses an infrared camera (also installed in the slide-out module) to recognize the user's face and unlocks the phone.
