The Vivo NEX is a pretty special phone; it's all-screen on the front and its selfie camera pops up from the top of the phone only when needed.。
But there's a way to make this phone even cooler -- by making its back fully transparent.。

Removing the phone's back panel and scratching its paint to make it transparent was easy enough. Where it gets tricky, though, is cutting up a piece of the metal-and-plastic cover that obscures the mechanism even when the back panel is removed.。Don't try this at home.Credit: JerryRigEverything 。
The process is dangerous, definitely voids all warranties and probably makes the phone less waterproof. But the end result is absolutely gorgeous, and the pop-up camera mechanism is very cool to behold.。
