Today, Vivo has unveiled the much teased NEX 3 smartphone series in Shanghai, China. There are actually two variants which comprise of a 5G and 4G model on a price range of ~RM3000, it's said that the series will be available in the coming months in the Asia Pacific, Southeast Asia and other markets. Without further ado, here's everything you need to know about the latest vivo flagship.
Equipped with 5G connectivity, vivo is using a 5G-6 antenna design for the best-enhanced signal for any areas. There's also a dual WLAN Acceleration technology so that two WiFi signal networks can be connected at the same time.
To support 5G’s high energy consumption, vivo has optimized and integrated a Super FlashCharge 44W and C-DRX power-saving technologies for the 4500mAh battery. To keep the battery cool, a Vapor Chamber Cooling System is inserted inside.
5G 6 Antenna is serious business
Some bonus connectivity there
Just 4500mAh juice but with C-DRX which is a power-saving technology
44W is just crazy
With such signal strength, it's only natural for the NEX 3 5G to be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 855+ which enables the flagship to download data with over 1Gbps speed. The memory capacity includes 8GB and 12GB of RAM, 256GB UFS 3.0 storage and supports global frequency bands and NFC.
Moving on to the design, Vivo confirms that the NEX 3 series is using a new 6.89-inch POLED Waterfall Fullview Display (HDR10) with no notch in sight. The dual-curved borderless design is rather extreme with new multi-scenario ambient light for new audiovisual and notification reminders.
With a screen-to-body ratio of 99.6%, there are no physical buttons as well and uses an X-axis Haptic Vibration motor for the Touch Sense feature. The Touch Sense response to the haptic feedback just like a physical button and of course, the in-display fingerprint scanner is present as well.
